Thank you JJ for clarifying that. You beat me to it. 
It seems that my views aren't too far off from the people that are posting in here.
The Earth can take care of itself as has been seen in the past.
We are only harming ourselves with our wasteful and polluting ways.
I find that environmental people use guilt as a platform. I don't agree with this method. The other method is fear, which I'm generally not a fan of either because it can be exaggerated. However, if backed up by facts and figures, I'll be more willing to listen.
I'm happy not to be driving anymore, but that is mostly because I hate to drive and gas is so damned expensive these days. I have the environment-friendly light bulb out of laziness. I don't have to change them so often.
Here is my question for those who are recycling promoters. I used to recycle in the 90s. However, when I watched the garbage men toss the recycling in with the other trash bags, I gave it up.
My questions to recycling advocates are:
How do you know for certain that your recycling bin isn't being tossed in with the rest of the garbage? How much electricity is it using to recycle? Is it really as environment friendly as it appears?
