💚~Yes~💚

lets go "green"

To—Day !

say you are working at a
fast-food joint or bending
sheet metal at a fab shop–

clock out now

and walk to your house
leave the car
you will no longer need it

throw your smart phone
into the next convenient
waste receptacle appropriate
for disposal of this class
of refuse

there will not likely be
any cell service
within the realms
of fine greenery
without the grid

speaking of which

when you get home
go to the breaker box
and find that large
100 (or 200) amp switch–

flip it to the "off" position

now listen for man-made noises
coming from outside your house

if you hear any, go to the
nearest source of it

(probably your neighbor)

tell him
—for the good of the earth—
that he should do as you
had just performed some
moments earlier

if he tells you
to go !@$&!
yourself

you could tear
into him as you embark
upon your new mission
in life—

otherwise,

just return to your home so
you can re-appreciate
your commitments

meanwhile,
you may as well flip
that breaker switch back on
and call in with some kind
of an excuse for cutting out
of work so unexpectedly—


that is–
if you are able to
find your phone
again...
