Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Mary Poppins Sherman Brothers

Wikipedia excerpt April 10, 2012: Origin
According to Richard M. Sherman, co-writer of the song with his brother, Robert, the word was created by them in two weeks, mostly out of double-talk.[2]

The roots of the word have been defined[3] as follows: super- “above”, cali- “beauty”, fragilistic- “delicate”, expiali- “to atone”, and docious- “educable”, with the sum of these parts signifying roughly “Atoning for educability through delicate beauty.” Although the word contains recognizable English morphemes, it does not follow the rules of English morphology as a whole. The morpheme -istic is a suffix in English, whereas the morpheme ex- is typically a prefix; so following normal English morphological rules, it would represent two words: supercalifragilistic and expialidocious. The pronunciation also leans towards it being two words since the letter c doesn’t normally sound like a k when followed by an e, an i or a y.

According to the film, it is defined as “something to say when you have nothing to say”.[4]

THE 3R’S STILL RULE [NRDC / This Green Life]
Excerpt:
Consumer product companies are always selling us a new bill of goods. The latest is that we can shop our way to a healthier planet. Over the years, they’ve also told us that cool cars would make us free and diet soda would make us popular. But there are some things money — and advertising — can’t buy, and a clean environment is one of them. 3Rs on the brain

The hard fact is that global warming, deforestation and other earthly ills cannot be solved by switching brands.

It takes resources to manufacture and transport all products, even those made from recycled content. At the very least, energy is spent. And spending resources leaves the world poorer, not better off.

So do what you will if you are itching for something new — there are no environmental police here — but don’t kid yourself. Buying nothing is better for the earth than buying green.

Repair [NRDC / This Green Life]
Excerpt:
… fixing things can still make financial sense if you take the right approach and is a great way to save waste—of water, energy and other essential resources. Here’s how to go about it.
Shop differently. Look for things that don’t just fit the bill, but are built to last and be repaired.
+ Consult online customer reviews of products to check for potential problems down the road.
+ When shopping for things that might come with a warranty, see that they do, and make sure the warranty is for a good length of time, not just a year. Register the warranty if suggested and keep it in a safe place, along with the sales receipt to establish your date of purchase.
+ Avoid products with warnings that opening the back or replacing a part will void the warranty.
+ Confirm that any necessary replacement parts or refills (such as specialized batteries, bulbs or toner) can be had at a reasonable price.
+ Steer clear of products made of flimsy materials.
+ Be willing to spend more for durability and quality to save money in the long run.

Try fixing things yourself. Get over the idea that you couldn’t possibly do it. Many repairs are simple, provided you have clear instructions.
+ Follow troubleshooting tips in the product manual or on the manufacturer’s website.
+ Use free online repair guides for appliances, bicycles, laptops, Macs, phones and game consoles and wood furniture.
+ Search for video tutorials on YouTube. (Add the name of the thing you want to fix to the search field.)
+ Spring for a repair book, such as How to Fix Everything for Dummies.
+ Look for local classes conducted by hobbyist groups, shops or community centers.

Hello, Earth Haters.

I’m Sharla, a Redwing Blackbird. This letter is to the Earth Haters who participate mindlessly in the purchase of unnecessary products, which we call an Extinction Things, on any day of the year.

You, the Earth Haters, love to join in the daily torrent of greed that smells like oil and cheap plastic. That frantic, flapping panic to gather more, more, more. It is a swarming in the stalls and screens for products we often don’t need. They are Extinction Things that tear the wings off the forest and foul the water we drink.

Soaring above the tangled, dying reeds you left behind, I see your consumption for what it truly is: a blood-sport. But the blood was drawn from the very Earth that fed you. A feast of consumption, divorced from the quiet gratitude of the harvest. Your Earth Hater persona participates mindlessly in the conquest and consumerism that is driving us all toward the void.

When a frivolous product is purchased, it should also be the time to look at an empty sky, a poisoned pond, a silent forest, missing insects, and the others you chase away by demanding more Extinction Things. Every Extinction Thing is a fresh scratch on the face of another life.

But we beg ye careless consumers and resolute Earth Haters to cease your gathering of trinkets.

Promise, not to the sirens of stuff, but to the earth beneath your feet, that you will stop fueling the pyre.

Then, if you and some others turn away from being Earth Haters, your atoms and molecules may one day become part of a Redwing Blackbird too.

Then, as a Redwing Blackbird, with a flash of scarlet on a shining black shoulder, your voice will ring out across the marsh as a sharp, clear counterpoint to your prior, consuming self.

Then, your future, singing, smart, feather-and-bone self will look back at the noise you once made and celebrate that you became an Earth Lover, and not an Earth Hater.

Then, your current and future selves will be jazzed you stopped following other Earth Haters into the maelstrom of buying Extinction Things.

For life, Sharla, the Redwing Blackbird

PS: This letter is not for the Earth Lovers who, whenever possible, search and wait until they find the things that they want as secondhand or used. This letter is not for the Earth Lovers who refuse to buy products that they did not really need, or who fix or repair things instead of buying new. [Earth Quest] ~s

I have a Planet-Based Rescue bag that I made from a pillow case that I did not need. Recyclable things that I rescue from trash bins or along bike paths around town that I can’t put in regular recycling I give to a friend who has Ridwell. Ridwell gives you bags to store your regular categories like plastic film, batteries, light bulbs, textiles and more. Then you can mail it back or have Ridwell pick it up.
