I give too much of a damn, but a lot of the time most people don't seem to give a damn, so at those times it makes me feel like what's the point, and then I don't give a damn either, because it all saps me of strength. Not giving a damn is like a disease that's catching - that's why those who DO give a damn need to stick together and keep going despite those who don't!

Depends on what you mean by give a damn. There's not really that much you can do to give a damn nowadays. Ride a bike but bikes are made from resources just like everything else that we use. But bikes don't pollute the air. So is that a fair trade off?

You're beating a dead horse if you think everybody can be convinced. Focus on the people who understand, and on what can be done. I agree about Gore. I doubt the Carbon Agenda is a soltion, but it may be a piece of one. You can say the same about biofuels and most of the other constructive ides that have been proposed. We're hardly in a position to discard any idea or person with the will to make a positive contribution to the future of everybody.

Unfortunately, people need something more than the somewhat intangible dangers foretold by environmental advocates to actually change their habits.
Guilt doesn't work because it is often impossible to see (or hard to notice) damage being done to the environment by individual people.
The book 'Ishmael' by Daniel Quinn outlines this concept and offers a solution in the form of a "meaning of human life."
I'm not going to summarize, but I highly recommend the book.
(not to be confused with 'My Ishmael', the sequel.)

When our 'Leaders' cease to travel the world by air then I will believe that they are not just trying a new way of increasing taxation.
Bliar's 'Farewell' trip produced at least 4000Tonnes of CO2 and was most certainly not essential.
And he wants ME to worry about the 1 Watt my standby uses.
Get Real!!!!

I did at one time. I was issued one, along with a rat's behind, when I joined the Navy but I already gave both of them away and have not replaced either.
What's yours?

That's just the impression we like to give to zealots like you. In hopes you'll eventually go away.
The better question might be, why are you so obsessed?
