Ruth asks…
Why are “ANTI-Greenies” in denial?….?
Why are skeptics in such denial? Are they afraid to admit to the facts? I don’t mean what scientists say…They are getting paid by the “government”….I mean the facts you see everyday when you step outside, drink from your faucet, or drive down the road…etc.
It‘s just common sense that recycling is needed to keep our earth clean, and compacting, reducing, reusing & conserving will save energy overall. Why use up all of the sources now, rather than preserve what we can for the future?
To me, it‘s just ignorance to keep trashing the ONLY earth we have. Why can’t people just realize that we have to work together on this to make a dramatic change?
I, for one, would rather breath fresher air, drink cleaner water, and live in a cleaner world, overall. How many are ther out there like me? What do you have to say about this?
What will it take to convince them?
Thanks so much thesmartalex…I am glad there are more out there with this same question…I hope to see more positive answers like yours…Very well put! God bless. (star this question…please)
enoriverbend…I see where your coming from…That’s why recycling companies use “REDUCE, REUSE, then the word recycle….They, along with so many others, encourage you to reduce, reuse & then recycle…You are absolutely right, it does, in some cases, cost more to recycle. BUT the whole point in recycling is to cut down on landfill rubbish…Common sense if you ask me!

This is an excellently worded and intelligent question, one of the best i have come across so far on yahoo answers. I have asked questions similar to this very one in the past and i also am baffled as to why people are anti recycling, and dont want to follow the correct course of action regarding the environment and global warming. I do also agree that the signs are everywhere i dont need a scientist to tell me what i am already experiencing everyday. The extreme weather shifts and glacial ice melts are more than enough to make one into an environmentalist. I am trying to get the word out and ask all skeptics to go read more about global warming and go into things with an open mind. I find that many skeptics do not research the topic and believe global warming or climate change is only making temperatures warmer but it is also the extreme change in temperatures and weather, cold or warm. Great question but there are some things that can just not be answered. I definately support you and your ideas on the environment.
Helen asks…
Energy saving everyday?
How much would i save on my bills if i had my own home, and watched tv like 2 hours, 2- 3 times a week, then unplug it when i’m done using it, and not turn the water on while brushing my teeth, take only 8-10 minute showers, 3-4 times a week, not using my laptop as much then have to charge it after words, only use light when i really need to, you know things like that, every month?

Great attitude! To do this properly you need to work out what it has been costing you up to now, assuming you have your bills to hand from the last year or so you can do this. You can then set a monthly energy budget which if you do on a spreadsheet can calculate your savings. To help you change your habits invest in a Kill A Watt meter one that allows you to program in the cost of your electrical supply.
