The planet itself doesn't need saving, it's us. We're not ruining the planet, we are just making it impossible to live here.

Some scientists believe that global warming is a natural thing and that the weather will be colder again.

not enough of them to back up an argument. you're right that "the planet itself doesn't need saving", but does that mean that it's alright to destroy the ecosystem so completely as to make it uninhabitable for carbon lifeforms?

Let's just wait for the next ice age, then the world will be colder again!
I'm speaking positively here.

Archeologists have found a body in a lake in Denmark and he had some plants around his neck and those plants could only live in a warmer weather than the current weather in Denmark. So they have found out that the weather has been warmer before. Some people believe that global warming is natural and some don't, so I don't know what to believe. I do know that we will run out of oil, but they have already found a new way to drive cars. And when it comes to food, not all animals disappear. There's now 14.000 deers in Denmark but there was only 7200 in 1990.

i want to say tht i do but i often dont....i am trying to get better though.....

I recycle, I pick up trash outside when I see it, I turn off the lights when I leave the room, and I take short showers!

I am the exact opposite of you ohwillke :(

Im a Social

I have to fight against my hole class. They are some stupid idiots.

Sometimes I am tired or even lazy so then I dont recycle much

I actually do a lot of basic things to make sure I don't destroy the environment too much (I don't litter, don't smoke or use aerosols, I recycle, when I shop I don't ask for bags I don't need, I don't have the tap running while brushing my teeth, I turn off the TV when not in use, and don't turn on lights if I don't need them on) but to be honest I don't consider this "doing something to help the planet."

I merely consider it, "trying to avoid harming the planet". Those things are just my lifestyle, and I've been this way for as long as I can remember. It's not something I do; it's the things I don't do that I pride myself in.

However, I have in the past taken part in campaigns, presentations, projects, etc. as part of a group trying to spread environmental awareness and finding alternate "green" solutions to the problems we face. I even wrote a letter to the Prime Minister when I was 15, explaining some of the solutions the group of us had come up with.

So occasionally, I do actually fight for keeping the world green. But mostly, I just live my normal life and try to make sure I avoid destroying the planet as much as I can.

all da time

I do what I can under the circumstances. Unfortunately, until I obtain my dream job, which requires a degree and probably an M.D. as well, as an environmental scientist, where I may be able to start doing more. At this point in my life, I do the basic stuff, like recycling and going out of my way to not cause any destruction... I am a member of Greenpeace (even though they are actually not that great at what they do) and I have signed a lot of petitions that help in my country... Plus, I have done revegetative planting in conservation areas before, in order to help the area regrow. Despite all this, our country has an idiot as Prime Minister, who seems dedicated to destroying what environmentalists do in NZ, as well as care more about money than he does our environmental problems.
I'm also currently working on a thesis, which is actually my idea of a theory, based on environmentalism, ecology and the way that the two affect each other, as well as why they are important to humans. I'm also trying to come up with my other writing, which involves my idea of religion, as well as how it involves the natural world (as Gaia) and why science and religion could work together, if we really wished it to. Basically, I believe that Gaia created our world and allowed humans the intelligence to draw understanding from nature (Gaia), as well as the other organisms. I think She wanted us to understand how the world works and to find our own way to learn about it, hence how and why science was created, so we could initiate this process.

I think that it's more about the things that I don't do. Don't leave the water running, litter, cut trees down, etc. Wish I could do more though.
