If there's one living thing to pay attention to this Earth Day, let it be your long-suffering, much-neglected plant. You know, that thing sitting on the windowsill in your living room? It was probably a housewarming gift from your Aunt or something when you first moved into that apartment all those eons ago.

Well, that plant has feelings too, and it probably also needs some water. Unless, of course, it's a succulent, which we don't doubt since your Aunt probably didn't trust you to be responsible enough to take care of another living thing when she first got you that useless green thing. However you feel about that gift, in the spirit of Earth Day this weekend, give that hidden plant in the corner of your living room a little tender, loving care today. Even if it's just for one day. You might actually feel fulfilled, and you might even think at the end of the day that you are, in fact, a responsible adult. You're probably not, but we'll let you have this one. Just for Earth Day!
