Proactive ideas



[quote:da569bd3e7]Earth Share's member groups represent the most respected and responsible environmental and conservation organizations in the country. Our groups work locally, nationally and internationally to protect and preserve human health and all aspects of our environment.
Did You Know?
Americans increasingly are concerned about the environment, and an overwhelming majority believe companies bear part of the responsibility for conservation.

In a spring 2007 survey*, more than nine in ten respondents said they believe companies have a responsibility to help preserve the environment. Almost all those polled say a company's conservation practices affect their image, with more than nine in 10 reporting they have a more favorable image of a company that exercises environmental responsibility.

IMHO this is an important site, as 'companies' would take into consideration the farming community too.

Do you actually believe that ALGORE subscribes to this at a personal level? Last I heard he lived in a house with 24 chimneys. I am a friend of the environment. Anyone visiting my farm will notice that right off. However, I CANNOT STAND "ENVIRONMENTALISTS"!. Little self appointed do-goodies who have nothing better to do than carp about "man made global warming". Listen fella, Mount Pinatubo put more caustic, acrid, and just plain nasty stuff into the atmosphere, and I'm talking WAY UP THERE, in one big bang than all of the pollutants man has generated since man appeared on this earth. And do you know what? We had nice, pretty sunsets for about two years. That's what. And now hardly anyone even talks about it. You sir, are the problem, and have nothing whatsoever to do with any solutions to anything.

I think if you word a survey 'just right', nine in ten respondents would say they think the moon is made of green cheese.

Sad to say the country seems to be mostly all talk and little if any action..

The surge by the auto industry to build more fuel efficent cars is market driven, not conscience driven, by any means.

Wouldn't you know it, finally high grain prices only to be offset by the high fuel prices.

It will take legislation to force the world into a mode of conservation, something that should have happened years ago and probably will be too late...IMHO we may well be in a natural cycle of heating, with the greenhouse affect compounding the situation.

As mentioned, it is all about image, not real things. Even with the government - we will get a zillion new laws forcing us to do things because someone thinks they are 'green' - only to make life - and pollution - actually worse.

Sad.

I'll ask Al Gore as soon as he gets back from eating lunch in Paris on his private jet that burns a jillion gals of fuel an hour

"with more than nine in 10 reporting they have a more favorable image of a company that exercises environmental responsibility." And as a result you have companies jumping on the band wagon, becoming followers,instead of coming up with real solutions to real problems.

It is all about image, not reality with the corporate green bandwagon.

Now if the people actually start living greener it will be a different matter.
