I don't know about you, but this warms my heart in a weird, weird way:
That’s right, two of our “national treasures” – Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson – have teamed up for the fight against climate change. Who could bring these two together for a common cause? Jesus? Mr. Monopoly? Bono? Nope – Captain Planet himself, Al Gore. This is the first of a multi-million dollar ad campaign by Gore's nonprofit agency, the Alliance for Climate Protection.
“It's just common sense that we ought to be good stewards of the environment and do everything within our power to protect this fragile planet that we all live on,” say Robertson of his surprising appearance. Future ads will feature awesome pairings such as Toby Keith and the Dixie Chicks and Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich.
Now, we can't all make pigs fly like Al Gore, but there are plenty of ways you can celebrate Earth Day, as well as keep the planet clean year-round. Click the links to find Earth Day events in your area and environmental tips.
And if that video truly ooked you out, I apologize. Watch this gem from the Discovery Channel instead and be sure to sing along:
HAPPY EARTH DAY, EVERYBODY!
