I think mine are fair . .I recycle my aluminum. cans I try to conserve water. I currently dont have a vehicle so im not adding that pollution into the air. But I could do more by recycling paper and plastics.

I suppose it depends on if it's burrito night or not.

I do my ordinary garbage recycling but also do a lot of recycling of household items as I find they make great costume ideas. I have a car but use my bicycle as much as I can.

I could do more I conserve water and I don;t litter I also donate to my state's conservation fund on our income tax check off donation every year I support conservation groups and have been thinking about renewing my Audubon membership - I prolly need to "just do it" I have participated in species counts as a volunteer - a way that biologists track animal & plant populations ....and simply put use the info to suggest those which need protective measures....like for example the protections afforded wolves & eagles I will always support such efforts even at times when I cannot participate OK - I also avoid buying products with a lot of packing that is "extra" I reuse grocery sacks I take a shopping bag (cloth) to the mall as often as I can remember... I almost always refuse a bag w/ a purchase I do not purchase newspaper I recycle my printer ink cartridges and do not throw batteries in the trash I combine errands and drive a fuel efficient car I do not purchase exotic animal products

Hmmmm we dont have a lot of choice, Plastic bags have been banned from all our supermarkets and shops, you have to have your own. Or buy a cloth one when you are shopping. Most of Australia has seperate bins for your rubbish, green stuff and recyclable things, if you put things in the wrong bins you are fined.. We have water restrictions in a lot of places at various times, so you cannot water your lawns or gardens with a hose if it is dry.. Our children are educated in schools and a lot of the schools here recieve grants for recylcing. e have clean up Australia day where everyone gets out and picks up rubbish, most of the schools do this as well. There are heaps of other little things we do, so I dont think ours would be to bad, but it definately could be better.

I'm sorry but it apears that you may have a few tickets on yourself mate, not a good thing, We all have opinions and last time I looked we where free to give them, oh and I have 6 children all less of a waist of space then some people.. Hmmm and we fought against hitlers rule, but we do have pride in our country and fight to keep it clean.. and yes carbon tax is in but by golly gosh how many ridiculous government policies does your country have, does that make you an idiot.. no other things would point to that, Such a shame when a decent human being shows their true form.. Fair dinkum,

from your answers it seems you didnt watch it I just went to your link. I've seen this production before. I actually agree with a lot of it. I think you should know something though. The answer to this problem (the New World Order) is NOT Christian fundamentalism. Those who wish to control the masses and the money need to be stopped. It doesn't matter whether they use Environmentalism or Religion to do it. They both need to go.
