Pluto's has a rocky core surrounded by a mantle of ice and other "exotic ices" such as methane, carbon monoxide and nitrogen. YUM!  Pluto's surface has a crust and with scattered blue light, hazy particles and reddish-gray snow falls in this frozen hellscape!  Things are happening on this planet.  There are mountains, valley, plains and craters. Pluto is still forming and it is basically half the size of the U.S. 

Pluto is 70% rock and 30% ice. Like a rebel with a complex, it follows it's own path and that has led to it's demotion. But, all is not lost with our 9th planet as Pluto has a heart-shaped region known as "Tombaugh Regio" and that sounds a little cajun, right?

But most importantly.....

If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 7 pounds on Pluto!  

If you weren't Pro-Pluto before, you certainly have a new reason!

I, 2024 CookiePalooza participant, do solemnly swear (or at least promise) to uphold the dignity and honor of the one and only Pluto, the planet that just can’t seem to catch a break. In the spirit of cosmic camaraderie and interstellar hilarity, I hereby pledge the following:

1. Defender of Dwarfs

I will proudly declare that Pluto is not just a “dwarf planet,” but a “dwarf with a big heart,” and I will educate others on its right to party with the big kids in the solar system.

2. Pluto’s Publicist & Cheerleader

I will advocate for Pluto’s rebranding as the “coolest dwarf in the galaxy” by sharing memes, gifs, and all things Pluto on social media. #PlutoIsStillAPlanet

3. Support the Underdog

I will support all Pluto-related initiatives, including campaigns for Pluto-themed cookies, like “Pluto Puffs” and “Dwarf Planet Donuts.” Who wouldn’t want a treat named after the most misunderstood celestial body?

4. Astronomical Advocacy & Intergalactic Inclusivity

I will remind others that just because Pluto is small and far away doesn’t mean it should be excluded from the planetary family reunion. Everyone deserves a seat at the cosmic table!

5. Pluto’s Cheerleader

I will cheer for Pluto with gusto, chanting “Pluto! Pluto! You’re still a cutie!” at any opportunity, whether in a classroom, at a science fair, or during a heated debate about planetary classifications.

6. Embrace the Quirk

I will embrace the quirkiness of Pluto, including its eccentric orbit and heart-shaped glacier, and I will celebrate its uniqueness as a reminder that it’s okay to be different.

7. The Final Frontier

I pledge to never forget that in the vastness of space, Pluto is a reminder that even the smallest celestial bodies can have a gigantic impact on our hearts and imaginations.

8.  2006

Pluto was demoted in 2006. That was a bad year and hardly anyone living in New Orleans remembers 2006 (exception:  Bruce Springsteen @ Jazzfest) so if you weren't just trying to survive in 2006, I pledge I would have raised a bigger fuss if circumstances were different.

9. Pluto Weight

I pledge to only discuss my body weight in Pluto units. Nobody needs to know we only use Pluto weight units going forward.  Clearly, Earth weight is so outdated and we need a new system.

With this pledge, I commit to being a proud advocate for Pluto, because in the end, it’s not about size; it’s about the love we have for our cosmic companions!
