"HOGWASH and Poppycock."
I get very upset with people who say this or something to this effect. How can they be so blind. Look around us, open your eyes, it is there. From the North pole to the South pole and all places in between.
I don't worry how it will affect me as I am over 60 and will be long gone by the time things get really harsh. I do worry about my grandchildren and their children.
I try to do my part though, every day, and will continue to be as green as I can possibly be.
Hugs

Posted Jun 28th, 2008 at 12:08PM I totally agree. If we all just do something small each day, we can make a difference. Personally, I find it aggravating that solar panels are so expensive to install. It seems stupid to me that in a place like southern California developers aren't required to use them. The sun's energy is FREE!!! Why not harness it in places where it is abundant?!!! I'd put them on my roof in a second if they weren't so darned expensive!!!! | |
Posted Jun 28th, 2008 at 5:09PM AMEN, but have you ever noticed, anything that is good for us or the planet is always more expensive? And I have a question, how does a hybrid car save anything? It takes oil to make gasoline and electricity so I fail to see where we are going to be saving anything. | |
Posted Sep 1st, 2008 at 4:46PM Bonnie, hybrid cars burn less gas for the distance. Not a huge change but at least a step in the right direction. There's a car coming out that runs on pure electric for the first 40 miles, which would mean most people dont burn a drop of gas. The oil the electic company burns is far less then that of your car. From what I've heard global warming is natural (it seems the sun is actually getting hotter) but either way you look at it, places like LA being full of smog is probably a bad thing. so Im all for green stuff anyways. Celery, do your homework, you can almost get the damn things installed for free. The fed will pay part, your state may pay part and the rest you can probably get a grant for. Google kicks ***, go do some searching and let us know when those babies are installed. | |
Posted Sep 1st, 2008 at 5:35PM Unfortunately most power is coming from burning coal.. Clean coal, you say? Bahahah.. so that'll have to change sooner than later, but it's a separate issue from car pollution. I don't know a lot about hybrids and how they work, but the electrical systems in cars are powered by the engine generating electricity from burning gasoline. I'm not sure, but do hybrids store excess electricity and use it to run the engine? I should do more reading on 'em.. All I know is that my grandma bought one, and she spent only $100 on gas on a 1600km road trip. That's insane! | |
