I just want to say:
"DON'T GIVE UP because you ARE loved..."
(& if you've got a few minutes to spare, a PC & limewire, download Josh Groban's song by that title, cos it may cheer you up a bit... it sounds better after a few listens to.
Oh, I know this isn't a question! OK. How's this? How are your ideas to help the environment taking shape?

Geronimo: I agree about weapons of mass-destruction - all the people who care about the environment need to work together & support green living...

Wow, that is amazing. I had been feeling rather low lately, and this was like a message that God hasn't forgotten me. Thank you for this!

Water saving devices, energy efficient globes, turning off electrical equipment, when not needed. Struggling with using car less but getting into the habit of using public transport more for work. Having healthy vigorous discussions with workmates. Careful about how processed the food I buy is, reducing packaging. Recycling. Getting there on step at a time. Lots more can be done. Good to hear other people making an effort.

Woot. Recycling and compost for everyone! Seriously, if we just had recycling programs in more areas, it would be a relatively small effort but make a big difference. And if 1/2 the cars on the road were more fuel efficient...
There are so many small changes we could make and don't. It's sad, but I can only control my own actions. But let's lobby those congressmen for some more environment-friendly legislation, shall we?
And great song, by the way.

1st of all that guy calling himself Geronimo, is an idiot. And old G himself would put him straight had he been alive, for soiling his name so. Maybe the earth will take care of him, but maybe not the way he wants, if there are too many people like him having their way. But, in every class there has to be one, right. Doing good is never lost. I don't have to pay a garbage company to come and take my "trash" 'cause I ain't got any haha! To me there isn't anything like trash anymore. Long live the green movement, and it's people, and may we continue to multiply, and enhance our technological improvements. The future is here, and it's green and beatiful. Fossil fuel is dynosaur stuff, and for dynosaur technology.

Sadly I dont have sound on my computer :(
However on the green front my family is doing quite well - we've installed energy efficient light bulbs where possible, put all our organic waste into a worm bin, recycle a lot. Our best effort I think is giving the parrot cardboard to shred so it can then be put onto the compost heap! We did have 7 gerbils that did this but they dont live very long!

I am so glad that so many people have gotten "The Recycling Bug". That is including me. I am getting a little bit fanatical about it , but, there is nothing wrong with that. I love all you out there who are trying so hard to help Mother Earth and all her children....Be proud of yourselves and each other too :) p.s. Josh Groban has a magical voice although he is not my usual choice of music.

I am changing my shopping habits, avoiding things that come in plastic bags. I am glad to see compostable plastic bags arriving. I buy `loose` if I can. I am recycling more and composting more. I think many people are also doing more which is good. I try to imagine if say there was no rubbish collection. The government should do that maybe, Have an experimental period with no rubbish collection, but then they would also need to deploy the army!

I support all who are trying to help our environment. I can't recycle here because we are in an apartment in AZ where that is the rule. I've put the thermostat higher at day/night. We don't throw litter out of the car. (some people still do even with the heavy fines!) We do our best.

if you want to help the environment the governement is going to have to give huge tax breaks for those people "Go Green"
People that give things up to help the enviornment will get nice tax breaks, It really has to be made WORTH WHILE for people to do it. Just telling them it will help the enviornmen't wont do it. You have to make nice cars, and inexpensive cars that are enviromentally safe. People keep saying that they want to, but it has to be made avaliable and encouraged to do. People have to make products that are safe, and get rid of those that are not. can they make a biodegradable computer, tv or electronics? (Plastics?) It will never work if things aren't created that are earth friendly.
