I love the environment. I wish everyone else did too. To me it's pretty straightforward: you don't shit (pardon my language) where you eat, you don't piss where you drink. I love money too (go capitalism!!) but for the love of God, is nothing sacred? There's plenty of money to be made AND preserve our environment. As a conservative, I feel one of our core values IS conservation.
I try to reduce my carbon footprint. I enjoy doing so. I also like to quantify it as well. i have begun an organic vegetable garden in my yard, I recycle regularly, and try to reduce waste in my life. My main struggle has been my obsession with paper napkins. But other than that, I'm good. My next project is solar power. Don''t know how I'm gonna do it since I'm renting. I have made lifestyle changes. Being conservative, reducing, reusing, recycling, changing out all my light bulbs to compact fluorescent (5 for 1$), changing my driving habits (going from 25mpg to 33mpg).
It's fairly simple. We all can do it and reap benefits.
