There are many more things happening that are doing much greater harm, but eliminating any bit of harm is a good thing. I love video games and all, but they don't last forever, sooner or later they will have to be disposed of, and if all that waste contains harmful chemicals, then it's a bad thing in the future. And cheers for the lecture. |
I really hope you read the article. I actually used to be just like you, I got involved back when the slogan was "Save the rain forests!". Look around a bit and you'll find that the numbers don't add up.
Nobody in their right mind thinks we shouldn't conserve and treat our planet like we do our own homes (ie take care of it). Only that we shouldn't destroy economies and tax people's carbon emissions, and force them to purchase carbon offsets etc.. A lot of folks just take it too far for their own political reasons, and those people have bastardized and quite frankly ruined an organization that stood for a lot of good in the past.
