i wasn't saying a drastic change, because that would take to much from americans. one thing that would be good is if everyone would help out a little. like not throwing shit out the windows, put glass in the recycling bins, just those little things.
for knowing so much, shorbe, i am surprised you have a relatively pessimistic attitude.
you make it sound as if it were our destiny to die from our own devices.that sucks, i say we choose our own paths, fuck destiny. save the earth.

A drastic change is not what it would necessarily take to make a difference. Like Shorbe said, it would slow things down, but it would more than likely slow things down to the point of halting. The Earth is quite capable of cleaning itself over the years, but the amount of emissions we are putting out would have to slow down a lot. The U.S. could follow through with the Kyoto treaty, if we started this year. One of the things it would take, is people starting to by more economically and look at things like hybrid cars, not SUVs. I personnally don't think thats asking for to much. As far as out current energy situation is going, we have loads of options other than nuclear and coal. Bush walked away from the Kyoto summit with the excuses of cutting back would create a loss of jobs, and have no real effect. He also said that the world's poorest countries wouldn't be able to follow through becuase they are devloping. Oddly enough, the nomadic tribes of Mongolia, the Middle East, and Africa are now carrying sloar panels with their caravans. Reason being they are lighter, cheaper, and smell better. IF countries would look at things on the small scale, then maybe we could do the right thing in the big picture.
WInd power wouldn't cause deforestation or cause any other environment problems, maybe the occasional retarded seagull, because the positioning of the generators would be thought out. There are vast stretches of land where few animals would be affected by them, the midwest and south western deserts would be very good places for the generators, just as long as we studied up on our placing of them. As time would go by, our technology would be getting better and becoming more efficient, so fewer generators would be needed.
As far as poor countries go, Greenpeace and the Body Shop (yes, the fruity soaps) heading a project that is going to get developing countries technology for extracting renewable energy. Check it out at wwww.greenpeace.org

not entirely true, to help save the envronment, earth, your own ass, it doesn't take living out in the woods. a cut back on the population growth, and just doing little things that make a difference, i.e., don't litter, by recycled products, fair trade.
one of america's biggest problems is the fact that our administration isn't willing to try and find viable alternatives. denmark has started creating jobs and cut back on admissions (thats crap going into the atmosphere) by producing wind generators.
to say that its arrogant for people to spout out crap about politics and not do crap about them seems somewhat elitist, and even worst, is a defeatist attitiude. Humans have every reason to do the right thing, and few to do the wrong. its to easy to be a realist if you ask me. so i guess the question is, what are you going to do about it, contact your senator, go to a protest, or even pick up the trash.

i am finding it very dissapoining to see how apathetic people are about our home. i would like to give a shout out to the author of aquafia and other authors of political movies here at newgrounds.com.
i wish i had the ability to use mediums like flash to get a message out, but i can't really.
so i would like to ask any other people out there if they care about our earth. we only have 1. for those of you who do care, but don't want to be the only one active about. don't worry, there are hundreds of thousands of people being active about our home across the states, and earth.
i guess i just am trying to encourage people to at least try and think about earth with a clean atmosphere, and clean lakes and streams.

keep it legal
look at the skyrocketing population, i think more people need to not have kids if we are going to stay on this ball of dirt.
humans have been fucking around with the environment for a long time now, and i think its time we stop, or try.
lesser people means less damage to our earth.
so, keep it legal, but please be responsible
