There is lot of talk us all adopting a greener lifestyle. If we all reduced our individual carbon footprint by 50% how much difference would that make to the carbon footprint of the UK. How much of it is under our direct control?

I've just been outside and felt something 'fly' near my ear, so like most girls would do I freaked out and waited inside. I put my hand on my head and it fell out of my hair, naturally I screamed. It's currently on my kitchen floor, I've trapped it in a glass waiting to move it.

It's black, got 8 legs, and it's got this weird back when it's scared or angry (or both) it kinda flares it up so it's almost vertical what kinda insect is it?

I'm praying that I've found a new species and that the government are going to offer me millions for it!

I see all of these giant SUV's and 8 cylinder sports cars all over and they're going 35 mph with one person in the car. There's no reason that people shouldn't get gas guzzlers because it makes them feel more important and if they can afford it, there's no reason not to. I say we should raise gas prices up to $5 a gallon and take the extra $2 per gallon and use it to start more federal wildlife preserves, so at least someone good can come from it. Who's with me?

I mean, some of those tunnels in NYC are like many many stories below ground.

This is also assuming the initial blast wasnt directly in the city, so fallen buildings and fire storms arent a major concern.

Would you be protected from the radiation and fall out. nevermind food or water.

Its not a creepy question, iam writing a book and can only do so much on google. Sometimes its just nice to hear what others think is plausible.

I am really concerned about the nuclear plant and the leaks they have since the 6.8 earthquake yesterday. I know this is a VERY serious issue but how far away could an explosion affect other countries? I ask this because Japan has a bad track record with these nuclear power plants. What are the effects on the sea life too? Nuclear water has leaked into the ocean too. Also this morning, CNN announced that there was barrels found open and empty. Serious answers please.

Aparently a nuclear power station was damaged and there is a radiation leak. I thought that Japan had a no nuclear policy because of the two atom bombs dropped on Japan at the end of the war.

1. Thinning of the ozone, due to the American auto a/c? What a joke that was. 2. The world is headed for another ice age. (Make up your mind)
3. We can eliminate the poor if the rich will pay their fair share? Clinton taxed the crap out of the successful, we still have poor.
4. It’s the stingy DR. Fault that everyone can’t afford to have insurance. Let’s try to be like the UK, maybe we can get our own group of socialized terrorist to “heal us” 5. That’s not a baby, it’s just a blob of tissue. While the child screams and tries it best to except the butcher’s blades in the abortion mill. 6. The spotted owl is too important to damage its native home. What about the ones building their nest in the “native” satellite dishes?
7. A condom in high school will make all the problems go away. If not we got a number for a good abortion DR. But my favorite--- “we are going to have the most ethical and transparent congress the people have ever had” Ms. Polozyi.

should be allowed to go into production it should undergo environmental analasyis to determine its future viability, environmental impact and its recycling capacity. It should be able to be made with no environmental consequences, 100% fully recyclable at the end of its life and totally environmentally benign throughout its life. In other words a fully compliant cradle to grave philosophy.

The planet cannot deal effectively with the polution and waste currently generated. What are your views?

I used to have a very big, probably 4 ft by 1 ft mirror that hung on my door. One day it broke, fell, leaving half of it intact, but half broken. I carefully picked up all the broken pieces, layred trash bags over the bag, and then placed a towel around it, and did it again until I was quite sure there would be no danger for any trash men. Now though, Im stuck with this still very large peice of glass, and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get rid of it.

Anyone know?
