I'm sure that's EXACTLY what the founders of Earth Day had in mind when they designated April 22nd as Earth Day.

"This weekend is Earth Day, mom."

"I know."

"What is Earth Day?"

"Earth day is when we remember the Earth is a living thing and we renew our vow to take care of it."

"How do you celebrate it?"

"Well, in high school my friends did 'shrooms instead of acid because they were all natural we could plant something or not drive our car or recycle something."

"OK! How about we sweep the house and go to Chuck E. Cheese?"

Yeah, because nothing screams "ecology" like going to a retail-style emporium to eat trans-fat laden pizza, drink fruit-punch with high-fructose corn syrup, play on plastic equipment while getting chased by a giant mouse.
