Re: Is this the most terrifying video you'll ever see?

Here's my recommendation.


If you're going to post from here on out, please put a preface in front of each post containing:


- What sort of vehicle you drive

- If you regularly purchase carbon offsets for that vehicle from companies like terrapass.

- If you propel yourself to work everyday or use public transport

- If you live off the grid, have catch/greywater systems, solar panels or other alternative energies, are kicking back into the grid, or have any of the other notable systems at play in the way you're living your life

- If you've actually created or engineered machines, systems, etc that are part of the overmentioned solution

- Any other notable "I am acting on what I am preaching" items


Now, if you *are* in fact working towards your own solutions, but really feel the need to keep at the argument click here. After watching this, smile a bit more as you post up on these issues. Then - suggest solution sets. Don't point fingers, don't say it's his or her fault, don't bring in theories that are so massively general that all it does is raise the pickets on both sides. Post up solution sets, creative ideas on what folks can do in their own home or community, and then maybe something will catch on with another person. And lo and behold.... you've actually taken strides forward instead of mulling about on the guy or gal you disagree with... who happens to be living exactly the same way you probably are!


:rolleyes:


That's my take for this evening at least. I'd love for folks to share ideas on affordable things I could be doing. Most of my solutions involve building a new house and what I can do there... which is still a million in cash flows off unfortunately. That and I live in a very very snowy community, so the only solution I have on the massive vehicle I own is to purchase carbon offsets. I don't know enough about alternative energy sources for my existing home, and would love to hear what folks have to share. If you're entirely opinion... I ain' got time for you bub.


Act in your own home first!
