Actress Amber Tamblyn posted an ominous poem that she wrote for Earth Day.
āFor Earth, I have spent my life in an egoās error, blundering on the side of a selfish existence,ā wrote Tamblyn. āI have let her down, while taking for granted the exhales of her trees; easy air for my lucky lungs, so what?ā
āI tell myself, Iām swamped, reveling in the pride of my own pulse to feel the sluggish haul of her disappearing streams, to watch the slow cracking open of the arcticās skull, to worship the withering breadth of her slipping ice,ā she added.
āPay attention. Pay attention or pay the price,ā affirmed the actress in her poem. āOur future, our Earth, our time here depends on it.
I wrote a new poem for #EarthDay now up at Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls @smrtgrls . Hope you enjoy it:https://t.co/QfeFSkD1Wy

Actor Billy Baldwin used Earth Day as an excuse to rip President Donald Trump and promote a socialist agenda.
āIn 2016⦠18-25 year old voters had the lowest voter turnout,ā tweeted Baldwin. āTrump is the environmental antichrist so if you want transformative change like 100% renewable energy and the Green New Deal⦠you better get your asses to the polls in 2020.ā
Happy #EarthDay2020!!!
