This is the option I have selected for comments: "Yes, allow comments after I approve them. Friends can add automatically." So, maybe we should be friends....

Hello?

[KipperEdgar]

Hello. How's stuff? I had selected "approve comments" so I'm changing that now.

I think Mike and Ron are the most honest candidates. I choose Ron Paul though because of his voting record, and I think his ideas about changing the monetary system top all the candidates. Not to mention he worked in the health care industry and knows how that works better than the rest also.

There's always incentive not to take an action; the question is, is that incentive great enough? Consuming less means some companies might make less money, which means fewer staff might be hired. Overall, though, blowing your money on useless shit is not a good thing. When it comes to global warming, action seems to be worth taking.

I wasn't aware; this is the first time I've encountered my messages' having to be approved prior to being posted. Thanks for clarifying.

We do not have to divert large amounts of a single substance, like is the case with crude oil for gas, because there are many crops, and animal and crop waste, to produce biofuels and gases. Since we waste some much wheat and rice, use it for fuel production, as well as continuing to use fossil fuels at a much lower rate. The idea is to reduce. I have not heard a logical argument against simple reduction through many means.

It is a video about litter; picking it up to be specific. Which I did.

Every country can learn to run their manufacturing plants and factories more efficiently, thus reducing impact on the environment. And if we stopped forcing other countries to produce disposable crap so their workforce can survive, it would help. We all could stop buying cheap crap from Walmart.

[KipperEdgar]

Again, what? Reducing carbon output in every part of the world does not "retard" any country, industrial or otherwise. How did our country become postindustrial? By pushing our manufacturing industry onto other weaker and needer countries.

Logging and paper producing companies (pulp mills) buy land from private owners as well; so, not only are they devastating land they purchased, the former owner was willing to trade money for land. Also, logged land is not completely destroyed; they can plant and harvest more trees.

Now, as for "why conserve something that isn't yours?" Ultimately the world is all ours. So again, your argument that "no one devastates his own land" is wrong and completely without merit.
