It's Earth Day!

Filed under: Inspiration > Bette Midler

80821974.jpg

As she does every year, the Divine Miss Bette Midler planted a tree on Tuesday, in commemoration of Earth Day.

Hopefully you're already doing your part to be as green as possible.

    Perez has called Autistic people retarded. Search YouTube for Perez and Autistic. It is the first video that comes up. He has made it where you cannot post a link to the video here, because he doesn't want anyone to know what a horrible person he is. Perez, what do you have to say about yourself?

    One way Bette Midler can help the environment is by cutting off her head so I don't throw up in plastic bags when I see it.

  29. Kristen says – reply to this

    Yeah, and people being "GREEN" and forcing laws and subsidies increasing the use of biofules are causing starvation and food rioting in third-world nations around the world. Yeah, lets be "green" today and kill off poor people around the world. No thank you. I'd rather use a little economics and good common sense rather than jumping on the bandwagon without trying to understand or think about the complex issues really at stake. "Green?" no thanks.

    36

    damn ugly bitch, I don'tlike her because she made fun of my best friend, karen carpenter, this happened in 1974.well karen can sing much better than this loud mouthed annoying bitch. even my other good friend barbra streisand was always sweet and respectful to karen. this proves that just because you are short, have big tits, ugly, you don't have to be rude and annoying

    38

    Yeah…its Earth Day and going green is good, but we need to make informed choices. Stop/don't use biodisel fuels made from corn…farmers are widely stopping production of wheat and such to make money selling corn for ethanol purposes. The US for the first time has had to IMPORT wheat. We need to produce food for EATING first!

    Compact flurescents have mercury, I don't care that "they" say it's a small amount because if the government is telling ALL private consumers they will have to use them, that makes a lot of mercury going into landfills. I haven't heard a reliable way to dispose of these bulbs. I hate when the gov't makes choices like that for me any way. My cents..Happy Earth Day all.

  39. Paul Bunyan says – reply to this


    39

    She SHOULD be planting trees- since she cut down well over 200 of them to suit herself on her land in Hawaii. How much fuel does SHE use flying back and forth from there? What a damn hypocrite. Convenient limosine liberal. Big deal.

    42

    Re: heather duncan – thanks, I needed that. I have been rude to everyone for a long time now. And now you have to look at my lovely daughter, too, as punishment for keeping me in business so I could tell you what to do. My life is crap. And I have to keep planting shit just so I look like I give a damn. Bring me my martini, dammit.

  46. Casey Trees says – reply to this


    46

    Good for Bette Mildler but in Washington DC Casey Trees planted more than 75 trees during the whole weekend of Earth Day and in fact are planting trees thru out DC every weekend til May 3 with citizen forester volunteers and DC community voluteers. Casey Trees has been planting trees in Washington DC for more than six years already.

  47. acs says – reply to this


    47

    sweet. one tree for the millions that are cut down every day.

  48. fu says – reply to this

    Bette: you're retarded.

    She goes out and buys a brand new WOODEN shovel that she'll likey use once to plant a tree. Are people really this dumb?

    52

    then jumps in her suv to buy high grade shit cloths made by slaves in 3rd world countries and does more damage to the ozone with the farts out of her giant ass than a 747. Another fraud looking for pr, old bag washup. They all say one thing and do another.

  53. CORNHOLIO says – reply to this


    53

    ANYONE WHO IS CONCERNED ABOUT BEING GREEN, I MIGHT LISTEN TO YOUR ASS AFTER YOU BECOME A VEGETARIAN.
    THE MEAT INDUSTRY IS THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTER OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS!
    SO UNTIL YOU STOP EATING MEAT, STICK YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS IN YOUR ETHANOL CORN HOLE!
    BUT I LOVE BETTE MIDLER'S HOT ASS ANYWAY.

  54. Shelly the Neocon from Long Beach says – reply to this


    54

    Yep..I've done my part. I drove my big ol' Expedition SUV to the gym which is about 5 miles away. Then I came home and took a nice long HOT shower. Ahh Earth Day!

    Want to help the environment? Go vegan. You simply cannot eat animals and claim to be an environmentalist any more than you can own a slave and be in favor of civil rights. Animal agriculture causes release of more greenhouse gassess than all motor vehicles in the world combined. Going vegan is like vowing to never use a motor vehicle again. It has that much impact. We aren't going to stop destroying the planet until each of us dramatically consumes less.

    She sure is dressed up to be doing gardening!
    Where's her tacky hat, gloves and knee pads!!?

    Hey, Bette, just call Casey Trees or better yet check the web site for a tree planting date and just show up.
    No guts! No glory!

    Whether or not she's "green" today, she's been doing this shit for years. It should have been HER bandwagon everyone jumped onto.

    Re: CORNHOLIO – Wow, do we have anger issues or what!! Given your eloquent response, one can assume you drive a vehicle that runs on biodisel fuel and we just took a swipe at your smug ass by denouncing that route. Hmmm, why would you assume any of us AREN'T vegans/vegetarians? Unless corn and wheat are now part of the animal world. Sorry we burst your smug bubble….I'd rather see people fed than you ass driving in a grease guzzler..where the heck you goin' any way…BK drive thru??
