If you want more detail on this consumerist nightmare, it's ROOT CAUSES and the solutions to it, Google "Peter Joseph, Where are we going" It will provide a wealth of knowledge and arm you with tools to make changes in this corrupt system.

This woman has gained my upmost highest repect. Absolutely no one I have ever met has as much respect as her. I mean of course I love my family to bits, and of course I don't love Annie because I have never met her. But her attitude, politeness, vision and ideals has gained her every last morcel of my respect. It brings a tear into my eye that someone out there does actually CARE. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Now I'm speechless.

Why is it so wrong to point out the need to stop being wasteful. Bring a bottle for water instead of buying a bottle of water...Pack a lunch....common sense stuff..Its not being communist or anti capitalist..all this woman is trying to do is have us look at the broader picture. Have us respect where the stuff comes from.

@TheChristmasFan your rebuttal's provide no support for the thesis of your argument. if you made a fair point i would acknowledge it but all you do is insult and quote me on things i never said. so that makes you the one who sounds like an idiot and needs help...and an education. your not making a strong argument here

Such a Fraud! 

[TheChristmasFan]

@strife987 Listen to yourself, you're making yourself look like an idiot, stop, just stop. You're the one who needs help

@TheChristmasFan Furthermore, i dont just listen to Leonard or Gore. i read a lot and i studied environmental issues in college. most of my professors had PhD's but im sure they dont know what they are talking about. as does the much of the scientific community who have factual data indicating that we are using water and resources unsustainably and that global warming is real. but im sure facts are wrong too. your the one who needs to come to the real world. i feel bad for you.

[strife987]

@TheChristmasFan You dont know what an aquifer is do you? or read a lot do you? have you heard of a drought? water isnt always there when we need it to be and im sorry to hear that you think water scarcity is not going to become a large issue (it actually already affects 1/5th of the planet) and if the population hits 10 billion in 2050 as its projected to, humans are in deep trouble. google water scarcity and read a little bit. im sure you'll still disagree with experts on the matter though

[TheChristmasFan]

@strife987 First of all water is infinite, we have an unlimited source of water. We will never run out of water, and we are sustaining perfectly. Frauds like Annie Leonard and Al Gore are trying to scare you into thinking we're going to die. That's how they make their millions of dollars, you need to wake up and come to the real world.

[strife987]

@TheChristmasFan if you dont believe this then you are living in world of delusion. do you really think with the rising population, and higher demand for oil and other resources that we as a society can continue to live the way we do. lets focus on our most precious resource...can you guess it...thats right water. aquifers are depleting and as population grows demand for water also grows. americans waste SOOO much water. we are not living sustainably and cannot do so forever. i hope realize that

Lee Doren Owns Annie Leonard!!

its important what she is saying. this isn't about capitalism. the communists are as responsible for destruction of the earths resources as those in Washington.
