I am not against saving the planet. I just happen to think a great deal of the arguments are flawed.
Its also being approached from the wrong position in a lot of cases.
I'll expand later :) iam off out.

Well, in all honesty, I don't do anything differently now to what I used to do, in order to save the world. I drive a diesel where I used to drive a petrol, if that helps.

Nevermind, there's probably someone out there living like a right fucking eco-hippy to balance things out.

you hate energy efficient lightbulbs, don't you? Maybe they are different in England, bc mine are no different in quality than my old ones. Actually, they last longer, just look different.

Definitely,using renewable or alternative energies,where appropriate!Although solar cells can,at most,work with efficiencies varying around %20-25,with the emergence of nanotechnology,these efficiency values are likely to rise in the future.Fuel cells and wind energy might be other solutions to the global warming thing.

No probably not for an American car. But considering what most cars are capable of , its poor.

I think I've mentioned this before but why the fuck should I have to make the difference now for some fucking fat rich bastard plundering the world for it's natural resources and then fucking up the environment.

And don't start your tree hugging hippy pish about how we are all responsible for mother nature and Gaia shite.

The amount of damage that I or my fellow citizens do in a year is fuck all compared to multinational companies raping the world, get onto them please and stop telling me to make to conserve water or buy shitey lightbulbs.
