I saw an Owl and for some strage reason all  I heard form it was  "that that .......that that "

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.

I would have to defer to my high school English teacher who was a grammar nazi...and "who" is correct.

Your response is to challenge my own sincerety?

I'm all about cutting out wasteful things, running too much water in the washing machine, leaving lights on during the day, keeping the AC down too low.

As far as recycling, I reuse plastic bags around my house, bring my groceries home in cloth bags, keep original boxes to pack things, and give old clothing to charity instead of throwing them away.

I also walk to stores and restaurants when they're close enough to comfortably walk there - to save money at the gas station.

This is not just stuff I'm making up...I'd place my hand on a Bible if you came to my house and asked me. And I've been this way for years, global warming or not. It's not stuff I do out of fear of drowning or guilt for the polar bears. It's common sense, saving money on the bills, and being a good steward of resources. My Mom raised me to be that way.

I do think it's sad that most Americans are so wasteful they have to be scared of drowning to death to get them to change, and then we all end up with rations and high prices as punishment.

You cannot convince me that Brad and Angelina deserve to fly in private jets two and three times a day. Only Spiderman is needed at that many different places at once.

What do you do for the environment?

Please stop trying to guilt people into nonsense.

Bullshit! - Recycling (Video) (29min)

Recycling is Garbage (The New York Times)

- Every community recycling program in America today costs more than the revenue it generates (Source)
- The market for most products manufactured from recycled materials is largely supported by government subsidies or government programs requiring recycled content in certain products (Source)
- The value of recycled materials on the open market has declined dramatically in recent years, and in many cases there is no market at all (Source)
- Manufacturing paper, glass, and plastic from recycled materials uses appreciably more energy and water and produces as much or more air pollution as manufacturing from raw materials (Source)
- We are not running out of or will we ever run out of any of the resources we recycle (Source)
- We are not cutting down “endangered forests” today to make paper. We plant far more trees than we harvest each year. Wood is in ample supply (Source)
- U.S. Forest land area increased from 747 million acres in 1997 to 749 in 2002 (U.S. Forest Service)
- Since the 1950s, timber growth has consistently exceeded harvest (U.S. Forest Service)
- We are not running out of landfill space. All the garbage we will generate in the next 10 centuries will require less than 35 square miles to a height of only 300 feet (Source)
- Landfills are no longer a threat to the environment or public health. State-of-the-art landfills, with redundant clay and plastic liners and leachate collection systems, have now replaced all of our previously
unsafe dumps (Source)
- Landfills can be excellent neighbors, contributing wonderful parklands and golf courses to our communities (Source)

I don't recycle since it is nothing but a feel good waste of time. I use as much energy as I want and only look at energy usage in relation to my electrical bill.

The Anti 'Man-Made' Global Warming Resource

Are you kidding me? So Celebrities are "entitled" to use more energy than the average person!!!! Unbelievable! When any one of these celebrity eco-hypcrites uses as much energy as I do, get back to me on "conservation". What propaganda.

The Anti 'Man-Made' Global Warming Resource

In my opinion, yes it was. They didn't need to go to France for their vacation.  And if they are so worried about the planet, then yes, it was irresponsible too. 

They like to preach to others about what's "excessive." Everyone's idea of "excessive" is different. So what gives them the right to act high and mighty? I do what I can in my life; I assume others do also. They seem to think they don't have to sacrifice (driving a Prius is not a "sacrifice").

I remember Streisand saying we should dry our clothes outside on a line. Do you imagine she has a clothesline in her back yard?
