It’s Earth Day, which means we’re supposed to take this time to consider how we treat this spinning orb we call home. And while some mark the occasion by doing exactly that, others just can’t help but throw down a little planetary supremacism.

I think Earth Day might exist so we can trumpet our superiority to other planets. Take that, Venus! Earth supports human life! For now…

Happy Earth Day! Who else is sick of Saturn mocking us by singing, “If you liked it you shoulda put a ring on it”?

Of course, if you take your Earth Day a little more seriously, there’s plenty of inspiring stories to explore. Some are here on the ground, like Seattle’s Bullitt Center, the world’s “greenest commercial office building,” and some are quite aways out there, such as NASA’s stunning Earth photos.
In case you’re forgetting exactly what it is we’re supposed to be stewarding, here’s a reminder:
