Thats very true. It doesn't matter if a few people go overboard about helping the plnet if nobody else cares. Recyling is great; it reduces polution and helps the economy, and some think it helps with global warming (BS imo) On a side note- what good does it do if the U.S. sacrifices it's economy to fight global warming (specifically thinking of Co2 creidts here) while countries like India and China continue to go beserk with dirty coll burining and other porven POLLUTANTS that are slowly drifitng across the Pacific Ocean to California and Japan and such? |
How about leadership by example instead of an "he is doing it too" attitude? Also, if managed properly, there are ways to maybe turn a long-term profit on alternative energy and efficiency. Eventually all countries will be either producing the renewable energy technology or importing it depending on whether they had the proper vision to invest in its R&D. Which of those countries do you want to be? Also, I'd rather buy my energy from a local renewable producer (such as a municipal wind/solar farms) than from multi-national oil conglomerates.
