I've heard lots of complainers about it. The fact that Al Gore is promoting it, the fact that the musicians themselves aren't truly green if they use jets and limos, that it's more of a waste to make the concerts live than anything.

I'm no fan of Al Gore of course. I thought the muscians were trying to be green themselves. Just because your mode of transportation isn't green, doesn't mean you're not green. People use jets all the time, and musicians can't? I also thought they were using hybrids and that stuff. All concerts take up lots of energy. At least Live Earth made it green, by promoting efficient lighting, recycling bins (heavily enforced), and lots of greening up the venues.

People also complain that people are just in it for the acts. At least Live Earth is also trying to promote a message throughout the event. It's going to take time for everybody to be more green, and a little (or big) helps. They gave tons of tips on how to be green easily. Any opinions on this?

Would you participate in a well planned National Stuff Your Fuel Day? If every one in the USA excluding of course Police, Fire, and Emergency Vehicles was to stay at home, ride a bike, walk or use another form of transportation that didn't require Fossel fuel for one day would you participate?

So, our place is cool but when that air conditioner comes on, it startles me, I jump, and wake up. Sooooooooooooooooo thankful for the cool air and am not complaining. Which bothers your sleep more and is there anything you do to solve the problem?

The reason I ask is I live in the Country and we and others bring our small amount of recyclables to the drop off center. now we might each have a few pounds of tin, paper , aluminum and so on. But, think of the gas it takes to drive up there,the time spent, The three or four people that have to be paid by tax payers to work there. I just think the cost and the waste of other resources to do the recycling a lot of times make it counter productive.

Recycling aluminium saves 95% of the energy cost of processing new aluminium. One recycled glass bottle could generate the power needed for a whole house for a day. Powerful knowledge if used right.

We have 6 llamas and some chickens in our backyard, and I recently heard that there is a mountain lion roaming around the area. I have to let the animals out in the day and put them back in at night, and I'm so scared that the mountain lion will attack. Also, we have pet cats and I'm afraid if I let them out, something will happen. So what do you think? And is there anything I should do to protect myself and my cats??

Could it be that we see icebergs off the cost of Cornawall?

I read somewhere that the ice reflects UV rays, and melting causes an even faster rate of global warming. I know even if this worked we still have more to worry about, I just wonder if it would work.

Although we are always asked to seperate the bottles in to different colours when recycling, does it realy matter if we mix them up, and if so why?

My mother, who is legally blind, wants a vehicle that she can drive, but that doesn't qualify as an automobile. She also won't consider garden tractors, golf carts or something similar. We've seen several electric cars out, but they all qualify as automobiles. Any ideas?

Seems to me that the media doesn't want to put the truth about global warming out there and the falsehood of it..Science magazine and researchers from all over have said that the earth is actually cooler now then it was over 100,000 years ago! What do the Al Gore supporters think about that? My inner me always thought it was a bogus claim....
