My favorite Earth Day memory.

A bunch of activists were busy staging a rally on the campus of Cal State University San Bernardino.

Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending on your point of view) you couldn't hear a thing, because immediately behind them, a bulldozer was knocking over abunch of trees to make room for the expansion of the student union.
