You can do whatever you want, there are no laws against planting trees or buying gas guzzlers. You will, however, be a hypocrite just like the Hollywood left you refer to, if you do both.

No, you can't. It wouldn't matter if you planted 50 trees, and bought 500 CFL bulbs and handed them out to the poor. The Hollywood hypocrites get to live in 40 room mansions, drive SUV's and Hummers, fly all over in private jets, and engage in all the rest of their non-green lifestyle. You, as a member of the proletariat, are supposed to do the sacrificing. You are just a common person, someone that Al Gore can lecture to, someone who pays to see Michael Moores inane "movies." You can save the planet, while they visit Hugo Chavez, get busted for driving drunk, go to "rehab" every 6 months, stage rallies and "protests", and when they are not doing any of these, they tell you how you should be living. Savvy?

You could, but you would be nowhere close to what the Hollywood left does. In order to be like them, you have to live in a mansion that consumes more energy than 5 average residential homes AND you have to adorn yourself with the mantle of High Priest of the Church of Global Warming (you can join any church you want, the names change about every ten years. It has also been known as the Church of Nuclear Disarmament, No New Nuclear Power Plants, Homes for the Homeless, etc...
Damn the science, full steam ahead into the abyss of ignorance and communist agenda.

Nope. You're not quite there yet!
You've also got to have a press conference about how much you hate Jorge Bush, and hug your little tree and sing "koom-ba-ya" into it's leaves!
THEN, you can go out and buy a gas-guzzler and be just like them thar Hollywood whack-jobs!
BUT, if you want to leave off the gas-guzzler and just do the bit with the tree, you can jes be one them thar eco-geeks!
And if you want some of those "carbon credit" thinga-ma-bobs to boot, well then, we can sign you up as a genu-wine Al Gore wanna be and disciple!!
Just send in $100 to the "Al Gore Retirement Fund" at his mega-energy sinkhole mansion located somewhere in Tennessee. To find the place, just follow the drain on the energy grid.

Just buy the gas guzzling SUV and be done with it. Or plant a tree and be done with it. Or do both. Frankly I don't give a rats @ss. Do what you want and don't talk about it.

because of fact maximum folk are unable to growing to be financial judgements, so as some distance because of fact the financial burdens of possessing one, they're going to "cope with it later" and sign the vehicle very own loan. bigger value of enormously lots each little thing: gasoline, upkeep, vehicle wash, etc does not count once you have under no circumstances balanced any budget on your existence or each planned something financially. as some distance because of fact the guy with the Cavalier; who's to assert that your new child might have survived in an SUV? you realize, human beings die in SUV's perpetually too. Chevy makes use of the comparable seatbelts between SUV's and autos so the seatbelt probable might have broken the two way, meaning that for the period of an SUV, they could have additionally died in a rollover if the impact did no longer kill them.

A tree, a couple of really pretty plants here and there. Sounds like a plan to me!!!
Seriously though, no worries. There are more trees in North America now than there were when Columbus landed here!

Its better if you stay away from gas guzzling cars and plant more trees. The world needs more of it. Lets help our home.

Taking individual, voluntary responsibility is a good thing... but in the big picture, it's not going to make any difference without some serious regulation.
With the "One Tonne Challenge" (in Canada) all of the carbon-emissions that individual citizens were reducing, the government had already promised those carbon-emissions to industry... so it made no difference except to attract polluting industries. Hypocritical BS.

Sure. Or you can invade an oil rich country and buy a gas-guzzling SUV like the conservative right does.
