Now, its one thing to buy carbon offsets and pay someone to get rid of your light bulbs, and being overwhelmed by Al Gore's scare tactics. But some "green" activities--buying used clothes, driving less, trying to make your home more energy efficient saves money and that's our bottom line for doing them. We also use cloth diapers and bring our own bags to the grocery store because plastic sits around in landfills forever. Some people that are trying to be more responsible are not fanatical.

  I am a true environmentalist and I am 100% for taking care of the only planet we have and I support people who are doing their part. Put garbage where it belongs, but products that are bio-degradable, recycle, and "leave no evidence" in your path.
  
  It's sad that environmentalism has been hijacked by extremists that are more bent on controlling the world's access to energy by using junk science and emotional rhetoric. COMMON SENSE and logic need to be what guides us, NOT alarmism.

    i am not a true environmentalist like you spinward (har!), but i understand the crisis we all face
    
    "leave no evidence"
    
    what about the pollution from cars?
    
    do you have a catalytic converter on your car? why?
    
    we need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, in order to save the planet (our only one) from an early demise.
    
    why do you cons pretend that only the only way to pollute is by tossing gum wrappers?
    
    al gore deserved to win the nobel peace prize, imo.

      "we need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, in order to save the planet (our only one) from an early demise."
      --- Do you have evidence that reducing CO2 ppm from 365 to 364 will "save th planet"? I can't find any anywhere, while this WILL bankrupt the U.S.
      
      "why do you cons pretend that only the only way to pollute is by tossing gum wrappers?"
      --- That's laughable. I will be in a third-world country 9 months out of this year. Gum wrappers are the least of their problems
      
      Al Gore KNOWINGLY lied throughout his movie... and I have the scientific proof to show.

  Actually, using clothe diapers may not be as green as you think. Washing, using chemicals, and drying use a lot of energy. So are you sure you're saving?
