We can all do something to help, and I have lots of info that I think you may find quite helpful and enlightening:
http://ecowellness.multiply.com/ for excellent inspirational info within my blog to help not only our world and its creatures, but to also open peoples hearts and minds to many amazing wonders that life has to offer. I also have lots of info in my blog to help fuel peoples imaginations to many possibilities that can be found only in the minds eye.
Along with lots of environmental info, amazing environmental pictures and videos (These videos show the beauty of this world and what life can be like if people take the time to appreciate life’s true beauty).
Let us all strive for a greener/brighter future by helping to create a solid foundation for future generations to build upon, so we can hand them a beautiful world, filled with never ending awe and wonders!!
Where peoples differences and uniqueness are accepted, where we all live as one, helping one another so that we can all play our own mysteriously beautiful melodies in the never ending, awe inspiring, song of life :-)
I truly have faith in humanity and believe that someday our lives and the world in which we live will truly be transformed for the better.

There's nothing wrong with being a bit more thoughtful about the environment - not littering, recycling, buying more organic food. I've never said anyone should give up their car. It would be stupid of me because I have a car which I love to drive and I go places all the time. Then, I've never screamed about global warming either. I just find it interesting and I like to answer questions in this section. I'm not taking sides on the AGW theory either. Nobody knows what people are contributing to climate change for certain, but we do know that we are ruining the earth in other ways and I think it's a shame when people stop caring just because a few people are hypocrites.

Excuses.
Rich that have beautiful houses in Coral Gable are scared.
Industries close to the ocean are scared. Poor people have mobility and have nothing to loose.
World changes. We had Ice Age, Meteor Impact, migrations and mass extinctions and everything wilol happen again.... and then, rich asks for its McTrovalds Shares....
Agree with you. Wolrd must learn how to GrowUp and rich must learn that its impossible to gain forever.

I don't recall asking anyone to do anything that I am not willing to do first. No environmentalist with any credibility would ask someone to give up everything flat out. Environmentalism is about finding alternatives, and increasing the efficiency of the things that we do in our lives.
If you base any actions in your life around the actions of one politician, then I feel sorry for you. Why would you allow the choices of someone to directly affect your global outlook?
Your argument is flawed simply because you use the word "quit", when the idea is to "reduce" or use less of.

I've never seen anyone in this section screaming about anything, or trying to force anyone else to do anything.
I've seen people who are concerned about a problem they believe is real asking questions about it.
And I've seen people who claim the problem is not real, but feel compelled to spend their entire day, every day annoying the other people.
Would it not be better for them to find something they do believe in and devote your time and energy to that?

Maybe if they charged the same price for gas in America as they do in England then the majority of Americans would reduce the amount they use their car?! Therefore helping global warming!
In 2007 in England 63.7p ($1.20) is fuel tax per liter of gas/petrol. To fill my American car, that I drive in US; in England I would be looking at well over $100 to fill one tank of gas in my US car! While I lived in England I drove a very small car due to gas prices mainly, I would not be able to afford to fill the gas tank in the UK!

Arnold's hummer so you know were fitted to take biodiesel. Also, it's not about stop using electricity. It is trying to get people to switch to light bulbs that are more energy efficient, and coming up with technologies that are sustainable. Since the whole invading countries for oil is not working out so well for us.

Well let's see...
I bike to and from work (13 miles each way).
I bought a Prius for when I do drive.
My home uses less than one-third the average national household energy consumption.
What do you do?
