My sister and I once tried to save a little bird that hadd been hurt. We picked it up and took it to a vet, but it wound up dying :( (don't worry it wasn't a baby waiting for it's mom)

We (especially she) have saved many domesticated animals, too (kittens and dogs, we've used that baby animal formula and bottle fed two kittens that we've kept.

...You might be a treehugger if ....

...you carry home your empty iced coffee drink cups in your shopping bag so you can recycle them at home, wetting your new clothes in the process. :P

.. you turn off the water while brushing your teeth, shampooing your hair, and get in fights with family members who don't :rolleyes:

.. you read E magazine

doing wildlife rehab can be very hard and with some wins come some losses. The funnest thing I've raised was a baby squirrel lol The worst thing was a woodpecker who would perch on top of your head and bang your head with it's beak lol

... you save any biodegradable kitchen scraps in a bucket on your kitchen floor so you can take them out and put them into your compost heap.

you MIGHT be a treehugger if you hate the idea of putting a ton of chemicals on your yard to kill dandelions, but you know that if you don't your neighbors will hate you.

And you hate to spend family time with crappy yardwork, so you trim the shrubs, but don't bother with a garden like everyone else.

And the idea of staying home so you can move the sprinkler all over the yard and dump thousands of gallons of water on the ground or spend thousands of dollars to install underground sprinklers like the neighbors have just to do that same thing MAKES YOU ILL....

You might be a tree hugger... or you might just be getting sick and tired of suburban life...

ha ha ...

I don't think I could do the whole suburban thing. I much prefer having neighbors who don't care what I do with my yard.

it makes you sad when someone throws away something potentially recycleable, and even more sad if it's a glass bottle (one of the most recycleable things).

You might be a Catholic treehugger if...
it makes you feel guilty when you do it (Catholic guilt + treehuggerness) :D

Jacob, please learn the difference between "than" and "then". It's starting to drive me nuts!

:D

Thank goodness, I'm not the only one! :lol:

You know you're a treehugger if you actually hug trees and claim that the tree you're hugging is actually your long lost brother from a previous life.

(That's what this one lady told us when we caught her hugging an oak tree in front of our house.)

Smokey Bear scared me as a kid...he came to my preschool once and so did the easter bunny. I hated people in costumes I guess.

No I got it from a friend as an Earth Day Chain letter. I am not sure who wrote it. LOL!
