I don't consider myself to be a thoroughly convinced environmentalist, but I do get kind of queasy at the
sheer volume of material that we consume yearly.
As proof continues to come out about how global warming is still very much a theory rather than a fact,
I'm worried we will turn our backs on conservation. Before folks yell at me, I am convinced of
climate change, just not necessarily global warming.
Anyway, I think the our focus is wrong. I think our level of consumption is what needs to be changed.
Also, why must it always be combustibles used to satisfy our energy needs?
