Given how much energy we consume generally - do you feel responsible for the environment and our global future

Answer 1

Yes, I do. We are _all_culpable. Only I can be responsible for myself, and each thing I do matters. I agree with the maxim "Think Globally, Act Locally," and I make my choices accordingly.

Answer 2

The global climate effects everyone! I dont care how much or how little you care about the environment or our futre; you will feel the effects of how much energy you consume. I think that everyone is responsible for their carbon footprint.
I, personally, feel that it is my obligation to do as much to prevent global warming and to create a healthier, more sustainable future for everyone. I have, and will continue to do so by living as green as possible, and urge everyone to do the same.
I am not religious by any means, but I know that in the bible, for all of you who love it so much, chapter 2, verse 15 says somethin like god put the people on the earth to take care of it!

Answer 3

I do not feel responsible when the ultra rich live in huge homes that are heated and cooled year round and seldom used such as Al Gore's home in Tennessee. Why should I when the ultra rich are using more and more in such a wasteful manner. Look at all the new cities rising around the world for the rich to have a new playground. Dubai is so rich that they have to import people who are treated like slaves to build, maintain and act as servants to its inhabitants. Sounds like the old Rome story! No is the answer!

Answer 4

I stay in Australia and that i've got study and heard we are the biggest polluters in step with individual in step with twelve months...(in step with GDP i think of) it rather is as we've super inefficent coal ability stations and we also have a brilliant panorama and many wealth. Even slightly greater so than the individuals even if if we at the instant are not just about the biggest polluters in the sense of quantity. China would definatly be the biggest Carbon polluters in the international, with ability stations commencing up each few days, even if if China has exceptional renewable ability coverage and ability distriubution regulations... i'd say even u.s. would pollute the ambience in different approaches plenty, with plenty greater damagem much greater so than China

Answer 5

Yes and everybody should be. If we continuously act irresponsibly and apathetic in protecting and conserving our natural resources, we are doing a disservice to the next generations. The uncontrolled burning of fossil fuel had contributed to the present alarming rise of global warming. The depletion of our ozone layer in the stratosphere caused by ozone depleting substances (ODS) posed a serious threat to the survival of the battered earth.

Answer 6

the feeling of responsibility - or not - does not change the fact that your individual activities have an impact on life around you. nature doesn't share the human trait of denial that makes it easy to blame others and shrug of your own responsibilities. the thresholds nature sets up are not negotiable whether you like it or not and, once crossed, that's pretty much it

once you are mature enough to accept the fact that your consumer behavior matters don't fall into the trap of sitting around feeling guilty. get up. walk outside. plant a tree. do something positive.

it's your future. be there!

Answer 7

No. It is the affluence that results from our use of energy that provides us the ability to worry about the environment.

If we were a poor third world country, we wouldn't give a rip about the environment.

Answer 8

Answer 9

The sheer audacity that anyone can consider that mankind is so powerful it can destroy this planet overwhelms me. All we can do is muddy up the water enough that it isnt drinkable, and pollute the atmosphere enough that it isnt breathable any more. Then we all die. But the earth? It lives on as do most of the species on it...

We're just smart enough to destroy ourselves...not destroy the ecology.

Answer 10

I will be dead by the time this problem will be solved. It takes the government 40 years to get to solving this. They have to get rid of the gasoline engine in cars and that will take 30 years right there.
