    Hi guys,

    What do YOU do to save the earth's climate?
    For example, have you thought of reducing your car's gas emissions?
    Because I already did...I drive a lot, and I hate the smell of the gas when other cars pass me by. So, I researched a little, and found out that there are actually products that reduce your car emissions A LOT.

    So, what do YOU do about this? :)

    Perhaps the price-gouging greedy oil corporations, are out to make driving cars, a mere privilege for the elite rich?

    once a week i go around the area and fill up about 10 trash-bags worth of trash i find on the highways, in the woods (where i live), anywhere like that. sometimes i fill up more if i have help. thats about it.

    if you truly wanted to help stop global warming,,if there is such a thing,, you would start by dealing with by far and away the worlds largest contributer to greenhouse gases that is a earthling..

    cows..

    so id say,, kill all the cows first,then deal with the petty shit like factories and automobiles...

    Well they have managed to reduce the levels of methane given by cows in the past few years by improving their feed but yeah i still agree

    Didn't realize Mother Earth only had one climate. I feel her balance is much more complicated than simply buying into marketing spin and jumping on one problem today, and another tomorrow when the fat corporate boys tell us what to worry about.

    I say buy only what you need, recycle everything that can be recycled, and learn to experience and enjoy nature without someone else telling you how to first.

    Just heard this morning that China plans on manipulating the weather over their olympic stadium, I am sure that's going to be great for the balance of the world. But the news media doesn't seem to be too upset about them setting off rockets (containing god knows what chemicals) to cause it to rain elsewhere.

    As to cows, why don't these government/corporate wizards come up with a way to bag the methane they put out? Can see it now...cows standing in fields with hoses up their butts!

    Afterall methane is the primary component of natural gas. It's definitely renewable.

    im a vegan, and my family recycles. they're all omnis though so it kind of negates my efforts a bit....meat and milk and cheese and eggs still get bought, whether or not i help eat them.

    i recylce, compost, am veggie, dont drive and walk everywhere. i purposefully litter though, unless in a forest or wetland. if people dont see the waste we create, we'll keep on pumping it out. litter is a visible reminder of the harm we're doign and having it lay on concrete slabs of road, sidewalk and manicured lawn is no more harmful to the environment than concrete slabs of road, sidewalk and manicured lawns are when free of trash.
