Re: DN watches Al Gore\'s movie and makes major life changes....
[ QUOTE ]
The first thing I'm going to get rid of my cars, both the Toyota Tundra that I won at the WSOP in 2005, and the Lexus SC 430 that I've had for a while. Instead, I'm going to look into purchasing a hybrid car for me and my wife. [/ QUOTE ] That would suck if the people who buy his Lexus and Toyota stop driving the Hybrids of their own. Plus, kudos for him throwing "that I won at the WSOP in 2005" in there. I forgot about that; and how good of a poker player DN was. |

Re: DN watches Al Gore\'s movie and makes major life changes....
I love all the people who combat global warming warnings with "well uhhh science has been wrong before" and "why doesn't the rest of the world help out"
to which i say -it doesn't matter what has happened in science before, just the issue at hand & -the rest of the world is helping, but the US didn't sign on to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 even though we emit OVER 50% of the world's greenhouse gases |

I find it amazing that the US Govt has managed to cast so much doubt over the impact we're having on the environment. I have the impression (possibly wrongly) that the majority of Americans believe there just isn't a problem. [/ QUOTE ] You would probably be correct...and I as an American just don't get it. Back when I was a kid, my dad was a pretty hardcore republican / religious fundamentalist...now this was over 20 years ago...I'm 40 now. Anyway, this was during the height of the "save the whales" bumper sticker proliferation...and my dad says.."what's so important about saving some [censored] whales?" I looked at him and asked..."why is it so bad to save some whales?" I just don't get this line of reasoning...let's say science is wrong, let's say the theory of global climate change is the biggest joke ever played on mankind...what is so wrong with just being careful just in case? |

Re: DN watches Al Gore\'s movie and makes major life changes....
even our "Canadian republicans" conseratives have grown up recyling and it is a part of day to day life. This isn't such an issue in Canada, doing something that is less harmful to the earth is a conscienceness. What is so freaky about that?
You take beer bottles back to the beer store, they use the glass again You refill your coffee with a travel mug, no yucky throw away cup. Makes sense to me. Ever wonder why Americans say Toronto is so clean....?????? |
