[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3665771, member: 35036"] What bothers me is that they have these kids speaking out. Yeah, they inherit the future and we gotta look out for them, but I listened to what a few of them have to say, and they have zero touch with reality. I truly do not understand what the motive is behind it. It seems the consensus is that we should just flip a switch, run electric everything off of unicorn farts and sunshine, and not use any petroleum or products involved with or created by petroleum. It doesn’t work like that. We can’t just not cut down any more trees ever. It isnt even good forestry/conservation practices. I think that all these fools up top (whether they deserve to be there or they’re 15 year old kids placed as figureheads) would be blown away to see what good we could do if we upped our diesel usage vs gasoline, increased our acceptance of nuclear power, and funded our wildlife/land conservation programs as well as changing our recycling/waste disposal policies. When I was in Germany everyone had 4-5 am trash cans. Only one of those was actually trash. An extra 5 minutes of your week was dedicated to ensuring you put the right trash in the right can. So much was recycled and disposed of properly. I’ve sat down with landfill managers here in Oklahoma and the plan is to fill up the land, and in 50 years or more it might decompose. But no plans after that. It’s just a trash heap, regardless. That’s pretty wreckless in my opinion, considering that for a few extra bucks from each of us and a few minutes invested we could avoid all that. Sadly, it doesn’t fit in with our society, regardless of what side of the political fence you’re on. Those four things would make a bigger change than any electric car/alternative energy/wishing upon a star BS that everyone is pushing right now. [/QUOTE]
