    ...with everything, myself, everbody, the system, our stupid dreams fueled by greed.....
    WHY can't WE REALLY CHANGE NOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    i mean we all know by now that THERE IS A PROBLEM, you know the environmental thing......
    but never in history has there been more increase of flying, bying, producing, overproducing, polluting and making profit.
    it's the total opposite of what we absolutely need.
    i am disgusted.
    because me too, i am sucked in to this.
    when outside my home, in town, want to drink water, not possible, have to BUY a fucking plastic bottle with water inside (when water should be FREE!), with water that has been transported in trucks..... just a small example
    there is no middle way i now realize, we are all being fucked by the system.
    i am droping out.
    right now.

    I know what you mean. I'm disgusted with all the SUVs and giant trucks on the road even though people KNOW they are destroying the earth and supporting terrorists. But people want their big, safe (they think) status symbols under their butts when they travel.
    I must admit that I sometimes use bottled water because where I live the water tastes really terrible, so it has to be filtered or bottled. You can always get a reusable bottle and bring your own water when you go out. I'm going to get a reverse osmosis system for Christmas so I can do that.

    What evnvironmental thing? Mother nature has never really been against us. SUVs, you can only fill them with so much gas and most of us can't afford to even fill our cars every week.

    The biggest pollutor in the world right now is war. End war and the little man's contribution will seem as nothing.

    Buy your water in bottles you do that because it's convenient. Fess up.

    LEAD BY EXAMPLE...
    ...but you will only ever lead those that you encounter.... thats why jesus had a huge posse... and muhammed.... and buddah for god sakes.... but if your not trying to start a religion just influence those around you....
    ...nothing can be changed in a snap... it would kill everyone....
    ...but the cyle of death is most certainly reversing somewhat right now... the green trend will have a much better impact than the old industrial age of our fathers...
    think of how your children will act... do not allow they to be raised by telivision either.... do your part.... if you want peace of mind....hope for the best and keep those you love close, and spread your love....

    Greenhouse emissions are inevitable. Trying to force others to live their life a certain way is pointless. The best thing to do is lead by example. I bike and walk as much as possible, but the fact of the matter is, nearly everyone needs to use a polluting vehicle. And do you see the bus-owning hippies adding additional exhaust & filtrs to their vehicle? They emit far more dangerous chemicals (Diesel fuel w/ old engine --> Sulfurous & Sulfuric Acid, etc.) per person than do SUV's. Why? Because the emissions standardsfor the buses were nonexistant. Likewise, glass pipes require heat, in the form of combusted fossil fuels.

    Lead by example, not by words.

    How many miles a year do those old buses travel, compared to a modern SUV....get real guys you aren't going to solve global warming by making everyone buy the same kind of cars or light bulbs. Al Gore doesn't hold all the answers, he probably just holds stock in CFLs.

    It's a good start that you are disgusted. Start with yourself, then find other like-minded people and create a network. The network will grow exponentially, but first, you have to lead. ;)

    Because that's what they teach in colleges and universities, and people can't think about it critically because their minds have been numbed by tv and videogames. So, as InfernoMunky said, promote abstinence from t.v., especially among your children.

    I just fill my bottle (which I stole from a store) from a water fountain, which has exactly the same quality water as in the bottle.

    Dropping out of what?

    But this is questionable... People spend their spare time in front of tv. Who's going to watch the example?

    i'm disgusted that people are still buying this man-made global warming shit.

    just, for the love of god, don't let them put a chip under your skin.

    Alot of the people who deny made-made global warming seem to think that it is just another evil plan to control our live.

    Some actions you can do to cause less harm... don't buy junk, no cellphone, no car unless you REALLY need one, just enought clothes. Use public transport, etc., buy local food, I think we all know the damn story by heart. A minimalist lifestyle actually makes you earn money and reduces your stress!!!

    SO PLEASE, some global warming denier tell me where the hell is the chip under your skin.

    Don't brush off the new world order too quickly, dear.
    This isn't some paranoid fantasy..
    chances are there is a plan and I don't want to be caught buying into it.
    If you want some information, I'll tell you where to start.
    PM me.

    I don't trash the environment.
    It's plain and simple.
    Not because I'm paranoid that I'm causing global warming
    but because I find a lot of inspiration in the beauty of nature.

    I consider myself to have a minimalist lifestyle.
    I don't use a cellphone,
    I don't use disposable menstrual products,
    I greatly respect the earth.
    There's a lot of stuff that I consider "environmentally friendly" about myself.

    Environmentalism is good.
    A clean earth is good.
    Just don't let them make you feel guilty
    don't let them drug you by telling you
    that you're causing it.
    It's a way to strip you of the precious little freedom we have left.
    Don't let this be enough to give up your freedoms as an American.

    i dont shave my legs or any where else.... and you know what !!!???? people will talk more about this "bad" habit (you know hairy legs and a hairy ---) than some heavy meat eating, suv driving, air flying, greedy motherfucker.
    i have now decided my path.... NEVER EVER will some idiot influence me to become more "feminine" (haha what a joke!) by making me buy and put make up, constantly buy new fashion clothes and other shit. FUCK ALL OF YOU GUYS AND GIRLS THAT ARE FOLLOWERS OF THE SYSTEM. you are just silk scarf monkeys: retarded inside, but trying to hide it but having fashionable clothes and cars and shit. GAME OVER

    I just rememberd a song:
    "he just another silk scarf monkey
    he's just another power junky
    You'd know it if you'd see his stuff
    The man just hasn't got enough"

    idk unless we're talking about electric razors and shaving cream, both of which u don't need to shave.

    forgot to mention in my earlier post that I don't have a landline. A phone is just too practical these days and choosing between one and the other I chose mobile. Besides as a lone female without a car, some of the shady areas I find myself in... I feel more secure with a phone on me.
