Quote: the G-man said: How much electricity do you waste typing mindless chit chat on a computer?
how many civil rights have you suppressed on your computer? computers don't use that much power, i save more on electricity by monitoring my light bulb usage than monitoring my computer usage.
Quote: How many NON-recycable, NONessential products do you buy?
as i said before, what i buy and throw out is not the issue really. because an average person (even 6billion) won't destroy the earth. companies that make the products knowing they're dangerous to nature and then dump their waste in nature are the problem.
Quote: How many of those products come from corporations?
again, that's not the real issue. that's like saying how i don't like bush so i shouldn't pay taxes. I have no choice.
Quote: You're part of the problem, not part of the solution.
could i be better? yes. but, again, do i pollute the air with driving? no. do i dump waste into our lakes and streams? no.
Quote: What happened to "think globally, act locally", Ray?
i think you're misplacing the quote. i didn't say that. i'm far from perfect. i do what i can but don't feel bad about not doing more because i'm not a political activist or a go getter politician/corporate guy. like i also said, i don't drive. i make the effort the walk and take my bike. an hour walk to work a day and then an hour walk home is a lot of effort to avoid pollution.
