How Green are You? Participate in our Climate Change poll
With the Kyoto Protocol expiring soon in 2012, delegations from 192 countries are now gathering in Copenhagen. The aim of this summit is to create a new treaty that could more effectively curb the greenhouse gas emissions to slow down man-made climate change, which, as evidence has shown, has caused more droughts, more flooding, rising sea levels and more extreme weather incidents.
Though reducing the green house gas emissions is the key to mitigating global warming, it is by no means the only action to take to save the Earth. Many things still need to be done – for example, recycling. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the world population is expected to smash through the 9 billion barrier by 2050. Contrary to the population expansion, there are only limited amounts of natural resources. That means, if human beings do not start saving and recycling, the future generations will have less available resources to use and consequently a complete depletion of resources could become a reality.
As citizens of planet Earth, environmental awareness is our responsibility and our common objective for the future.
What has your company done to go green? You can either speak for your own businesses or for the companies you work at. Cast your vote and spread the environmental-friendly seed!
I believe there is too much greed in this world for people to change much. We need more people taking a stand, because there is so much we can do.
We design obsolence into our products so we can sell more products. that works if we have infinite resources but until we get the technology to transport the people of this world to a new world we need to start design products that last longer.
My website http://www.an-alternative-lifestyle.com will give you some insight in what we can do.
Here is my abridged list: earth-sheltered homes to lower energy useage, hydroponics to conserve our soil, alternative medicine and prevention to lower the cost of health care, plasma converters to get rid of waste but still recyle paper, solar and wind power, make hydrogen using renewable energy, and use geothermal it is free.
Hmmm, can’t change what doesn’t exist. Global warming is nothing more than people like Al Gore making billions on the backs of working people as well as politicians to gain more control and power. Reports are showing that we may be facing a mini-ice age.
As more and more REAL information comes out (not just liberals unable to control their emotions and need for control) we see experts coming out with information like this – http://www.climatechangefraud.com/behind-the-science/6098-antarctica-and-the-myth-of-deadly-rising-seas
How about we focus our attention on solving problems that are real and that we can solve. I think this phrase sums it up – “There is nothing more frightening than ignorance in action.—Goethe”
