No one is suggesting the most extremist actions that you seem to infer is required of you.
As individuals, there are numerous ways that one can lessen their impact on the environment without negatively impacting their lifestyle: * walk when you can, dont get into your car for trips to the neighborhood store or to visit a friend nearby..it not only uses less fossil fuels, its healthier
* buy your meats and produces from a farmers market if you can...it not only supports sustainable agriculture, its healthier
* make your house more energy efficient....it not only utilizes less power from the polluting power grid, it saves you money. There are so many other little things like these that can be done that may seem insignificant on the grand scale ....but small steps, if taken by millions, can start to make a big difference. |
Done.
Done.
Done.
I live in a major metropolitan city. I walk to work. Our building recently upgraded our windows to energy efficient windows to the tune of several million dollars.
So I do that and people still tell me crap like, but do you buy diamonds? do you not (insert fad du jour) because that's just what the planet needs ala buying carbon credits?
The concensus of scientists have been wrong in the past, and will be wrong again in the future. If you don't accept that as a possibility you are more smug than what you are accusing ustwo of.
