I can't find anywhere that will accept Brother ink cartridges for recycling, only brands like Lexmark.

What's wrong with Brother?!?!

Isn't the climate SUPPOSE to be in a constant state of change? So why are some misinformed people trying to stop it from changing?

Give your conservation & compacting ideas to others. Maybe someone will see something you do & start doing it themselves. If you have noticed a great change on your bills, then let everyone know. Give in details what you like & don't like in your answers.

Serious answers only...If you don't have anything helpful to say then don't answer. This is to help others who actually care. Thanks & God bless.

Up till now science seems to have found most answers to our probs, do you think they will find an answer to global warming before it's too late? We won't give up our cars, electricity for lights heat refrigeration etc, gas for heat and fire to cook on. Forget it, it won't happen so it is up to science, do you think they will find an answer?

I had a great idea and I just wanted some feedback for it. Do you think it is plausible or even possible to create new jobs and better energy by putting people to work turning turbines manually for money? I keep hearing things about the growing number of unemployed people in America (and around the world) and it just seemed like we could kill two birds with one stone. Tell me what you think.

Exxon &Shell has posted record profits of OVER 30 BILLION in 2006.

Billionare Exxon & Shell executives are gouging helpess Americans as they charge over $3 a gallon at the pump, and have made life a living hell for middle class & poor Americans who can no longer afford to pay home heating bills to keep their children warm at night, or pay ridiculous gas prices at the pump.

STOP GOING TO EXXON & SHELL GAS PUMPS, AND SWITCH TO "CITGO" WHICH IS OWNED BY SOUTH AMERICAN LEADER HUGO CHAVEZ TO SAY "NO MORE"!

Average Americans like you and me CAN make a difference--enough is enough! The next time you are driving around, Do Not go to Exxon or Shell gas stations.

ARE YOU WILLING TO BOYCOTT?
I am, and I'm a proud American.
Star this if you'll boycott.

Please read this pargraph and reword it correctly. I am awful with word but know what I want to say please help me and reword and rearranbge if need in this pargraph for me.

A warmer climate would probably have far-reaching effects on agriculture and forestry, managed and un-managed ecosystems, including natural habitats, human health, water resources, and sea level depending on climate responses. The concern that human activities are affecting the heat/energy-exchange balance between Earth, the atmosphere, and space, and inducing global climate change, often termed global warming." Human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and other trace greenhouse gases. If these gases continue to accumulate in the atmosphere at current rates, most scientists believe global warming would occur through intensification of Earth's natural heat-trapping "greenhouse effect." Possible impacts might be seen as both positive and negative.

Prolific in his "The sky is falling" schpilkus, he has failed in documenting the genuine physics. He seeks to foster a growing emotional climate using YOU as his personal thought victims.

Al Gore cannot travel without tax-paid Secret Service. His invited coiffures, celebrities & courted dignitaries, and reporters (shall we say "entourage") are paid by us.

Personally, I consume about 1,000USD of energy per month. I know that some may consume more, and many much less.

So where can I find the true consumption of energy Al Gore expends (both private & tax paid) per month?

Can anyone find his call for "counter-global warming" and
AL Gore himself as a greater cause of ecological crime than the common man?

India is located at a perfect location and has the most perfect weather than Why are we not taking advantage of it?
India is surrounded by oceans, meaning coastlines, where its most windy, so why don't we have Wind Turbines to produce Electricity?
India is one of the countries that experiences long summers, and most sunny days, then why don't we have Solar Panels to produce electricity?
These technologies are much better than burning coals to produce electricity, coal burning releases carbon dioxide which is a major cause global warming.
Where as Wind and Solar Energy Technology are clearn energy souces. We have these technology available to us, then Why not use it at a larger scale?

I want to propose the idea of recycling to the company I work for. In my department we throw away a ton of paper everyday and it DRIVES me nuts! Nobody even thinks twice about it. So how can I suggest we recycle and make it sound like a great idea or anything to make them do it. There are about 12 different buildings doing the same amount of wasting I'm sure. I wanted to bring in my own trash can to throw paper in and recycle it myself but I don't think I should have to, or should I? Is it my problem that I am so worried about this or the company I work for? Any ideas to get them to start recycling would be great. We probably throw away a reem of paper a day in my department alone.

I get up here every few months and say "prove man-made global warming" and I get the same thing:

Proof of warming - though not of its cause.

Proof that humans generate CO2 - though no proof that this is a material cause of the present of several prior similar warming periods.

Denials of some of the recent warm periods - though some of you have begun to come out and say "yeah, fine, they happened, it was warmer, but this time is different" - just, without showing how it's different.

"So and so says it's us" but cannot prove it.

"This or that website says it's us" but does not prove it.

"You're just too stupid" or "closed-minded."

"You're paid by Exxon."

"You must be a Republican."

I'm just someone who doesn't feel obligated to change my lifestyle based on an unproven assertion, and who keeps asking where's the proof and keeps getting the same non-answers.

Yet you wonder why people don't just take your word for it!!!!
