  • $20,000 wouldn't buy two solar panels to power crap. Recycling bins on every corner would be a eye soar. I don't get it, I live in Colorado where this summer is the coldest I've ever encounter. Most scientist are jumping off the bandwagon of global hypocrisy. I think we can be good stewards of this planet without having to change our lives upside down. I do think you all should recycle because you see how much stuff you consume every week. If you argue against that then you're all dumb.

  • search the OBAMA DECEPTION

    stop the New World Order

    search FEMA camps

  • I'ed ask the Media why they're covering up all the underground hydroelectricity station's all over the globe, and shove's faked oil and energy shortage's in our face's, when they're sitting on FREE power since before 1900's, and situated right next door to the Church of Later Day Saint's underground food store's!.

  • Why are sheep idiots?

    Global warming is a hoax.

    -No its not because its now global climate change.

    Ah yes newspeak. Anyone read 1984 lately?

    Whatever you want to call it be my guest. The final outcome will be a global tax on the air we exhale from our lungs. Say hello to the carbon tax.

    I for one say Fuck global warming.

  • When I was a kid ACID RAIN was the big scare. In 1975 we were supposed to never make it to 1992. Your skin was supposed to burn and all plant life was gonna die from the acid rain, and everyone would be eating everyone. What happened to acid rain? ANS- wasnt GLOBAL enough. Its alll a total fucking hoax. I agree. FUCK GLOBAL WARMING!

  • Global warming is a hoax you right there matey

  • why would it be a hoax how can you be so Fucking dumb? seriously how Possibly Can somone be so god damn fucking dumb?

  • I'm not the only one who no's it's a hoax you god damn fucktard, go fuck a tree you hippe...

  • i aint no hippie you Retard, go hump a doorknob, where i live theres huge ass floods and its going on everywhere even on the Us, so why deny it? Statistics dont lie, shits igetting Fucked ecologically. why would it be a hoax, ive seen floods happen in palces that havnt had heavy rains in 40 years.

  • I would carry a gun, shoot the crack dealers and LIBERALS in my community and bury them next to a tree to help it grow. (Mostly Liberals!!)

  • i try it..it doesnt work so will

  • Or you could just kill everyone who had a different opinion from you, that'd help a lot of trees to grow. Although, there would be about ten people left on the planet and there is a VERY small chance that you all would survive.

    Also, why crack? Meth is SO much worse.

  • sorry skippy but 31,000 scientist around the world KNOW GW is a hoax. The 260 pushing it are funded b the Gov. If they dont, they lose their funding too. 31,000 is bigger than 10 ya know.

  • I would drink my own pee.

  • heh heh good one

  • I would carry a gun, shoot the crack dealers in my community and bury them next to a tree to help it grow.

  • Haha, cuz murder is funny. Wait, no.

  • yep. that's it. what a genius you are.

  • Right on brother!!!

  • I would plant trees on every street in the city.

  • Solar.

    Panels.

    Solar panels, to power...

    street lights.

    GIVE YOUR HEAD A SHAKE!

  • Its not fucking warming. It snowed 4 ft in Colorado APRIL 21 2009. Fuck anything Green. Its the way of the future to take the GREEN out of your pocket.

  • Dumbass. The term, "Global Warming", has been proven to be scientifically incorrect a few years ago. It's known as the "Global Climate Change" now. Seriously, if you're going to act like a fucker, learn your facts. You are a dumbass bastard who knows shit about the environment, so shut the fuck up you cunt. You're probably a nigger or a white fag. Fuck off.

  • Look who talking? HoneyGlazeHomo! I 'm not stupid enough to by that shit. C02 is THE building block of life, trees suck it up to grow, and you shit pipe mouth puts it out so how is that a fuckin pollutant? Cunts as yourself cant figure that one out. Dumb fuckin tree hugger wont be happy until you have to by a permit to exhale. Hey the Easter bunny, Santa, and fairies LIKE YOU are real too. what a fuckhead liberal!

  • Fucking retard. Trees release CO2 in Autumn when they lose their leaves. FUCKER SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU DUMBASS SHIT.

  • YOUR A FUCKIN DUMB ASS!! TREES RELEASE OXYGEN! ALL YEAR ROUND! You got enough CO2 in that fuckin liberal head of yours to be charged as a threat to the ozone. Fuck off you tardo. For your information ass fuck its not "Climate Change"! its called WEATHER! DOLT!

  • Shithead. CO2 is released when trees shed leaves. How can trees produce O2 if it has no leaves to use to go through photosynthesis? FUCKING DUMBASS!

  • Photosynthesis is a year round process dill hole. Let me guess, the world is flat and fairies and dragons are real. Oh yeah and the earth is burning up. When it snowed 4ft in USA April 21st of this year. Snowed in Vegas in November. 1st time in like 65 years. Learn the facts.

  • That's why it's known as "Global Climate Change". Dumb fucker. How the fuck can photosynthesis occur if there are no leaves on the fucking tree? Leaves contain pigments called chlorophyll, fucking dumbass. Without it, photosynthesis can't occur. DUMBASS SHITFUCK!

  • Oh ok so during the fall I'll try to burn down as many trees as I can. Thanks for the help. Are you shakin with anger when you this shit? stupid piece of shit liberal. Good job on the caps lock.

  • Get a life.

  • Got one. Its called educating the stupid such as yourself.

  • I would call it educating the stupid out of people.

  • easier said then done. Some people are loaded to gills with stupid. Have to be told by the Gov how to live.

  • no pongas mamadas como estas en un video que no tiene nada que ver con lo que dices,

    busca trabajo, desarrolla tu cerebro,

    has algo que ayude a tu pais a salir de la mierda en que vive,crece pedaso de imbecil

  • BTW our nation is great, its just the people in control and who determine our policy who need to be exposed as the criminals. The carbon tax is a fraud tax only to make the rich richer. The logic that another tax will somehow fix things is ridiculous.

    Type Into youtube

    "Glenn Beck John Coleman"

  • With all due respect, I don't agree with that at all.

  • dont agree with what? You will believe al gore who lives in a huge mansion taking up 5 times the amount of energy as most people, over the founder of the weather channle and 40,000 scientists. Just do some research plz....

    Type into youtube

    "Glenn Beck John Coleman"

  • What I definitely don't agree with is your politics. And as for Al Gore, he could be less hypocritical, and there is a lot more to the problem than what he says, but global warming is happening. And even if we aren't the cause, and even if we can't return things to the way they were, it makes no sense to continue abusing the planet.

  • You say global warming is happening, though the real graphs and scientists think the opposite. Why has the antarctic grown 30% in the last few years? Global warming is not real however climate change is. All climate change is, is changing of weather patterns and temps for a certain amount of time. Just like all the ice ages and heat waves prior, it will happen again. Many scientists believe were heading for another ice age. Being earth friendly is great but to tax us is ridiculous.

  • isnt antartica melting???

  • Type into google...

    "Antartica growing in size"

    My question is, why do they claim its global warming when we have a warm period or heat wave in a certain month, but wont say its global cooling when we just got out of one of the coldest winters on record(2008) in several locations around the world. Why not say were headed toward an ice age when we see things like the 1 in 50 year snowstorm that hit texas, kansas, oklahoma this year. Why go crazy when we have a heat wave. Its all NATURAL..

  • those retards should stop talking like idiots and start vegetarism...

  • Of course your a gore following sheep. Are you aware of al gore living in a mansion 3 times the size of the middle class he wants to tax and bankrupt. We dont need anymore taxes on the middle class which is what this will do. All our industry in america will be shut down due to the carbon tax. The earth is cooling, look at the 1 in 50 year snowstorm event that slammed texas and oklahoma this year. Its not global warming....

  • heres your buddy glenn beck with John Coleman the founder of The Weather channel telling you global warming is a fraud.

    Type into youtube

    "Glenn Beck John Coleman"

    John Coleman got 40,000 scientists signed up to debunk global warming but al gore wont open the debates and have a real scientific investigation. Al gore knows hes a fraud thats why he lives in a mansion 5 times the size as the middle class he wants to tax.

  • mate come 2 australia and tell us the planet isnt getting warmer. 90% of our farmers dont have crop because it is to hot for it to grow. climate change is over exaggerated yes. but it is still F$%^ing hot

  • Climate Change is NORMAL...heating and cooling trends will continue to take place long after were gone. If you have a hotter than average summer, humans are not the cause. ONE volcano puts out more CO2 than humans in a lifetime. We have no control over what this huge world does. Nobody wants to tackle the real earth problems like dumping nerve gas and countless chemicals in the oceans every year. Instead they want to tax you more for something we cannot control.

  • yeh i looked back into earths past and itis alwayst hottest b4 the big freeze.

    do u people get taxed for eco stuff? that sux, over here if we wanna buy a solar panel, the government gives us money back. i think the US should look at australias economic state b4 makeing any decisions. seeing as the US debt to profit ratio is .98:1 and australia is .03:1 america isnt the greatest nation on earth, its on of the worst

  • The sun has been cooling the past few years and is all due to solar cycles. Solar activity determines earths weather not CO2. Scientists have discovered the greenland ice is 2 degrees below what it was in the "medieval warm period". The antarctic ice has grown 30% in just the last few years. As i said before, heating and cooling trends will continue long after were gone. Its just ridiculous they want to tax the world for something we have no control over. It must be exposed bottom line.

  • Perhaps I'd plant more trees too. And I think more people should have their own gardens like I do. ECO POWER!!!!!!

  • Or I might start a bioremediation program. (where germs are programed to composed more effectively, perhaps even plastic)

  • I might create a program in my comunity where our trash is sorted, we recycle what we can, organics either get composted or burned for electricity, the carbon dioxide is sequestered, and the ash is all that's left. We could either compost that or send it to the landfill.

  • global warming IS HAPPENING. Pull up google earth and look at the arctic ocean. its free of ice, now what does that say?

  • Look if the earth warms its not CO2, its the sun. Why have the ice caps on mars melted and refrozen? Because climate change is real but humans are not the cause. Its not global warming, its climate change which has happened all throughout history. We are believe it or not, on a cooling trend. Of course you wont find that out yourself you will just listen to hannity and gore who live in huge energy wasting mansions. The carbon tax will bankrupt everyone in america over a fraud.

  • I would donate $19,960 to a Californian Marijuana dispensary, then use the remaining $40 at the dispensary.

  • i cant understand how some people dont beleve in global warming and as a result dont recycle

    Ok say it doesnt exist its still a good idea to recycle and invest in renewable energy

  • yes its great to have better way of energy and recycle, but there is no reason to tax everything including breathing which is what this carbon tax will do. Global Warming is a fraud...The Medieval warm Period was much warmer than what we see today. Scientists have proved that the greenland ice is 2 degrees cooler on average now than during the Medieval Warm Period. The polar bear population has increased over the last 5 years. The antarctic ice is growing in size while they tell you its melting.

  • good god your right we need a bear tax

  • here here

  • I would set up a huge weed farm, so I could sell the hemp to the government so they could make paper and other products out of it, saving millions of trees form being cut down for paper.

  • I would use it to create a nation of intelectuals and superhumans and dominate the globe, enforcing restrictions and protocols on pollution, electricity generation and pretty much everthing man made that damages the planet. Then id take over mars.

  • Legalizing Marijuana and using it for stuff like paper, plastic, fuel, medicinaly etc. enough said.

  • Unbelievably strongly agreed

  • i would get rid of unions

  • I'm only buying SunChips now.

  • I would start a factory and give people jobs and skills and the money to start a life and a family.

  • Thats what we need right now in America

  • All of our existing industry will be shutdown by the carbon tax and shipped over seas where there are no carbon taxes. They have now proposed a bill to ban people from growing gardens out of the fear they might grow weed....They have also moved to ban people from collecting rain water. Understand the carbon tax is about control..The same people who tell us global warming is real, are the same people stealing the bailout money for bonuses.. I N F O W A R S . C O M
  • Global Warming is a fraud. I suggest everyone research John Coleman the founder of the weather channel. Him along with thousands of PHD scientists have signed a petition to debunk global warming. The world has been had by this hoax, designed to bring in the "carbon tax" which will literally tax your breathing. 1Volcanoe puts out more CO2 than humans in a liftetime. The polar bear population has grown over the last 5 years. Only reason for this tax is to make the elite richer and more powerful.

  • Comment removed

  • Yeahhhhh... riiiggghhhttt.. whatever you say... it's all a conspiracy... they doesnt want us to have money... mmm... big conspiracy theory... world is falling apart and you preffer to hear no-sense ppl that belive this world is ok and we just need to keep killing animals, destroing forests and contaminating our water and air just "because"... rriiiiggghhhtttt

  • they *dont... sorry...

  • I have no idea what I would do....

  • lol sunchips....

  • Well, I thought this was a really good advertisement. I would want my local recycling center to recycle ALL the plastics- not just numbers 1 and 2.

  • i would go fishing and get high

  • thats pretty darn cool

  • i would get rid of nat geo

  • why did someone put it a thumbs down

  • I would grow weed.

  • 20,000 dollars... save the world with that?

  • 100,000

    And theyre not the only ones, trying to

    "save the world" so their not responsible...

  • thanks green ..

  • I would let people smoke weed and tax it to make every community in the world better by taxing it.... Bitches.

  • I killed greenies for sucking up our air and polluting my ears.

  • Can't we do something about those big lights at football, baseball and soccer field that us so much electricity????

  • WOOHOO XD

  • Comment removed

  • we can make the world more greener and a better place to live

  • SOLAR PANEL FOR STREETLIGHTS?

    LMFAO? WHAT A DUMBASS.

    If the fucking sun is out you wouldn't need streetlights.

  • Rephrases it so you can better understand what they meant;

    The sun would charge the solor panels on the light system for night use, have you not seen the solor driveway lighting that charges in the day and keeps your driveway lit up at night? They are just speaking on a bigger scale.

  • Dude, the solar panel could charge a battery and that battery would supply power to the street lights

  • i leik mudkipz

  • roof top gardens should be mandated by law

  • YES give the 9 year old 20,000 dollars!

  • I would set up a huge weed farm, so I could sell the hemp to the government so they could make paper and other products out of it, saving millions of trees form being cut down for paper.

  • Just listen to them, wow.. I wonder if they would really do what they say if they got the money.

  • Sorry, National Geographic. You failed once too many times with promoting this liberal "green" crap. All "green" does is make guilty people feel better about themselves. Sure, promoting cleaner air around cities by reducing emissions is good (for one example), but things like recycling are just plain hoaxes invented as a result of an inaccurate EPA report from the 80s that even the EPA admits was wrong. The "green" thing is just an extensions of this original movement. Epic fail. I unsubscribed.

  • cool competition :)

  • I would (and am) putting up a green roof. They're charming and effective (and when I lived in Norway, very common there).

    ~Kim@GoGalavanting

  • I would get rid of the landfills and make them recycle everything.

    There is nothing that can not be re-used.

  • Nice sentiment, but based purely in hype. We have exponentially more trees in the US than in the 1920s (and not just little ones, but big ones) due to our demand for new paper. Recycling, even though it is popular and trendy to believe in it, is actually more costly and less "green" than simply throwing away our trash.

  • Although it may appear to cost more to recycle an object, this is not always the case. For example, the extraction of aluminum from bauxite through electrolysis consumes a substantial portion of the USA's electrical energy. By recycling aluminum products, in particular, this burden can be reduced.

  • That's true, there are some items (ie: aluminum cans and batteries) that actually save money. Yet most other consumable packaging such as plastic, cardboard, etc. costs less to dispose of in landfills. And actually, it's better to dispose of biodegradable items in our regular trash ONLY. Landfills have systems to siphon off methane created from their garbage to help power electrical generators.

  • I will have to ponder few a short time in search for some relief. I understand that with every positive thought, a negitive thought always seems to overpower.

    The puzzle has not been solved!

  • Then in that case, quit making so much trash to begin with, lol.. easier said then done I suppose.

    Every one is so bent on packaging and its appearence. Forget adding all the drama to the packaging. The already prepaired dinner photo on the package to intise people to purchse the product is bogus. Your final home cooked product will not look like the picture on the boxes. Why do people feel they need a photo of something to eat the product. Don't print pictures, [SAVE ON INK USAGE]

  • Gothic, yup, there's nothing wrong with conservation as it's generally good for many things. But if this is done purely to save "landfill space", then that itself is a fallacy. Conservation is good since we have limited resources on Earth. It doesn't hurt to use only what we comfortably need. I don't think anyone would agree with excess in the name of laziness. Unfortunately, competition to earn profits involves printing those pictures on boxes. To change, human nature needs to change first.

  • As far as human nature changing as a whole, I seriously do not see that happening. You stated "Competition to earn profits"; There is enough food to go around to feed the planet, so much is watsed. It is those who strive for power and money making it more difficult for any one or thing to make a significant change within their and others lives. Mankind only knows the way they are influenced and basically forced a certain way to survive.

    The leaders are soiled and the followers, brainwashed.

  • i leik mudkipz

  • OMG

  • I will poop on every single garden That I found.........to serve as fertilizer :)

  • (1:00) biodegradable dog poop bags already exist... fail

  • Haha.... obviously some of these people don't know how little $20,000 is.

  • I would tell the people in dirty country to pick up and clean the area and plant as much as possible..... $20,000 is alot in my country.....

  • i will eat chocolate

  • i will paint every roof in our community white

  • $20,000 is too little to set solar panels that would actually do something significant ;)

  • then think of another

  • "then think of another"

    it would be enough for windmills generating electricity for 2 households :)

    more people on bikes - in what way is it relevant to money? buy'em bikes? or put some advertisements "ride a bike" that will pollute environment?

    bio-degradable poop bags... there isn't much to inventing, we have plenty of bio-degradable material already.. it would end up in advertising...

    computer recycling program sound reasonable I suppose

  • i was thinkin the same with that first black guy

  • Everyone notice how the black guy didnt say what he would use it for lol? He was just like twenty thousand dollars damn! I was waiting for "ID BUY WEED WID DAT SHIAT NIGGA" cuz thats what I would do...and its green, peacefull, and all that shit right haha?

  • i would.. RAM MY COCK IN UR MOUTH GOD

  • thats so cool my birthday is the 22nd

    i would put solar panels on every rooftop in my city

  • with 20,000$? lol

  • so as my brother

  • biodegradable poop bags :O)

  • 4/20

  • solar panels to power street lights...... lmao wtf?!

  • solar panels power road signs on our highmways here in japan right now.. so its possible we just have to do it and to hell with all who would say its impossible and didnt even bother to try first..

  • They do that here in Las Vegas

  • cool.

  • My family plants a whole vegetable garden in the entire backyard...so yay for fresh produce!

  • Woohoo! More hollow, self indugent, feelgoody goody BS ideas. Your average person is too big of an idiot (as can be seen in this video) to know what effective "green" would be. This is just propeganda from the nice face of the environmentalist humanity haters.

    $20,000 won't get you anywhere significant. That's enough to make one house completely green and self sufficient with the right materials. and planning. I'd go for that.

  • Just legalized marijuana and you will see a garden in everyone's backyard.

  • ahaha true that

  • 0:55 he kinda  looks like vin deisel ;P

  • i think this is a gr8 initiative for EARTH DAY

    we're finally going to celebrate it like it deserved

  • aprill 22nd... isn't that pot day or something?

  • That would be April 20th for the "pot" day. ;p

  • april 20th, my friend

  • 0:23

    Wow 20 thousands dollars that's alot of fried chicken.

  • LMAO!

  • LOL, remember to recycle the buckets afterward ;D

  • i would go where the money is!

  • with $20,000 dollars i would buy a used lotus elise and race it around america and pick up hot chicks at the beach. then i would go out with a finalley and crash it into a church.

  • id donate my poop

  • FERTILIZER???!!! lol!!!!!!!!!!

  • id research of which one is more efficient solar or air power and then make one of them power something big like a few buildings or street lights

  • I would buy thousands of bags of sun chips, eat them, then send the metallic plastic bags to Africa, so everyone can cover their nakedness with shiny wholesome goodness

  • thats the greatest thing ive ever heard.

  • Great video ಠ_ಠ

  • its prenounced how its spelled compost, not compOst -.-"

  • *pronounced? and also, it has a long "o" sound, its what the lady said, but maybe I'm misunderstanding you...

  • With 20,000$ I would buy myself what I want so that my community wouldn't suffer from my rampage =)

  • hijo putas

  • In the past 12 months, I've recycled (saved from the landfill), rebuilt and reissued (given away) 21 bicycles. My goal: to get as many people in my town on bikes as possible.

  • you lame for doin that but keep up the work save our planet
