Tons of proof? Where? Ohhh Al Gore said it so it must be true, gotcha.
Any ways kudos to those that live a greener life. As long as you think it makes a difference good for you.
And i will continue to flick cig butts all over the place 
Ok thanks Mom. What a pointless thread, just hype is all, good day ma'am

True that, i have no excuse.
You know what else is a huge Dilema? The build up of styrofoam! That stuff could be replaced with mushroom mycelium grown into blocks, cups, etc. instead of this chemical plastic like agent that stays around forever

You're arguing against a position that nobody has advocated here. IMO it makes no difference if climate change is influenced by what we do, all the fossil fuels are going to be burned regardless. I plant forests because I enjoy spending time in them.

this
im really good about not tossing my ciggs in 90% of situations, but my mom's car has no ashtray and i cant out ciggs in the car to put in a bag like i can outside
cigarette buts fuck up water systems big time, i dont remember 100% of what i read , but its something like it retards/kills some small bug(i forget the name) that is the bottom of the ladder in rivers/lakes ect, so it works its way up the food chain fucking up everything
for the longest time id, pick up at least 2 cigarette buts for every one i could remember tossing, i figures if everyone did that, itd clean up pretty fast, but i fell out of that habit
also i got a question, i have one of the most evasive annoying plants messing up the forest around here

buck thorn, the berries are laxitves, the birds eat them and poop them out everywhere, and the plants come up the next year if you chop them down, *and* they spread by runners
it crowds out all the native plants, and makes parts unpassible it grows so densely i dont know what i can do about it, seems impossible to stop

Generally I figure it's pretty pointless to try to stop invasive species by pulling them up etc. Sounds like that one is at least a food source for something.

Invasives are rough. No matter how hard you try, they'll come back if they are introduced and the environment is appropriate for growth.

I don't know if I fully buy into the idea that non-native invasives are something "bad" that should be remedied if possible. There have always been invasive species, and their descendants are the ones we now think of as being "native." If they can't hold their own against new competitors in the future, that's just how things go sometimes.

i agree and disagree, if its edible or medicinal, im all for it, but when the thing is a purgative and weeds out edibles and medicinal, i think its kinda gay
i know a purgative is technically medicinal, but meh

Consume less - less garbage , less environment destruction from overconsumption (eat less, buy less) Recycle batteries (save in a jar, then once in a while recycle them) Freeze Ryebread/toastbread , lasts 5 times longer easily, so no slices get thrown out Pick up large pieces of trash in nature i.e. or anything you see floating around Ask your friends to not throw their trash in nature when there is a garbage can 20ft from there (show them the miracles of nature by growing plants at home, so they get an appreciation of nature too) Don't drive a car unless you absolutely need one(I don't in the city, trains everywhere) Give old clothing to charity
many possibilities...
plant plants in your garden and house, they take your co2 and turn to o2
plant mushrooms everywhere outside where you walk :-D, they help the plants often by supplying nutrients, and the plants help them + they're pretty (most people will notice)
appreciate everything you have always, then you don't need as much work to live, don't live to work, then you just need to earn to live and be happy , and you probably don't consume as much appreciate nature :-) then you got everything you need always

Hybrids are arguably not that great for the environment anyway, sure they use less gas but you have a giant mass of batteries that must be disposed of later.

I agree that choosing not to have children is one of the most environmentally beneficial choices anyone can make. Every child you have increases your ecological footprint by 100%. I support and applaud everyone who chooses not to reproduce. Plus then you can adopt and take care of a child who needs love and support, thus doing something food for humanity and nature.
Thank you everyone for contributing your good ideas to this thread!
Consume less, reproduce less.
Educate yourself and then educate others.
Donate to a worthy cause. It feels good, its good karma, and it helps them do good work.
I donate to green peace, the world wildlife fund and the international fund for animal welfare.
I volunteer for the Canadian Parks and Wilderness society.
I have a vegetable garden. I don't own or operate a car. I wrote a book on the causes of and solutions to the global ecological crisis.
I also support and applaud people who choose not to eat meat. If you do it right it can have an environmental benefit. I currently eat meat but someday I will get my shit together and go vegetarian in a healthy, ecologically friendly way.
I called the prime minister of Canada and left him a message today (part of a greenpeace action). It was so easy. I am going to start doing it regularly about various environmental issues. It feels good, try it! Its easy.
Write to your representatives in government. And try and find a job where you do ecologically beneficial work.
Kudos to the poster who works for greenpeace!
I know I am not doing nearly enough, but I really am trying.
When I move to my new house in a few weeks I am going to get started on serious food gardening and water barrel saving. I have two huge apple trees in my back yard and along with the vegetable garden I hope to produce a larger portion of my own food.
Its fun and exciting. I am also going to do some cool upcycling projects, like I saw an awesome way to make a sweet herb garden out of old milk jugs. Stuff like that is awesome.
Keep it up everybody! Your rock!
And not believing in global warming has nothing to do with the fact that we do have an ecological crisis. Its not all about global warming at all.
We need to ban things like bottom trawling, toxic waste dumping, deforestation, etc. None of that has anything to do with global warming.

too late. worlds fucked.
(but obviously people should do what they can to lessen the impact to the Earth, but if you're seeking perfection Moonshoe, NEVER ever... EVER gonna happen.)
Ps: toxic waste dumping is already illegal. i agree with you on the fracking projects, those need to be put down.
