Please save our Earth

What you said is actual,from the standpoint of the individual,we have done too many things which we should not to do.The development of industrial civilization has always been on an enegy-based.so globle pollution is unavoidable,destructive desire in the human natrue and ultimately we only can accept the reality of the negative.

I personally see people as addicted to convenience. Anything that causes them an inconvenience is unacceptable in the world today. For instance, let us look at dishwashers. Wasn't too many years ago, we washed dishes by hand and I was taught there was a specific order to washing them, glasses first, plates second, silverware, then pots and pans were last. We didn't use a disposal, scraps went either to be recycled in the yard or in the trash to be picked up and disposed of. Of course, that takes hands on time to do and people are "too busy" to waste time doing things that a machine can do for them. Part of the obesity problems in the world, stems from our need for convenience and actually many things need to return to the world that require physical participation to get them done. Sitting and being waited on, only creates more need for more machines to do the work, humans need to do to maintain their own physical fitness. So many issues contribute to the way the world is today, not just the climate, but the way we live. Accepting the negative only leads to more, and more negative lifestyles and we as people, need to start with at least one positive step in a better direction.

I have stopped using my dishwasher. I've unplugged my unused VCR's and I unplug my coffee maker after the coffee starts to cool. I power down my desk top computers using the surge protector when I'm not using them. I do the same with TV's I don't use everyday. I try to recycle what I can. We all have to start with little things. But we also need to get our governments to work on things. We still have people, including politicians who do not believe in global warming.
