the problem as Americans, and not humans is that we are crisis oriented. That means as a country we dont fix things until they HAVE to be fixed. We could learn alot about greener living by just observing what others are doing. China for instance is a huge player, they are doing alot in green research.

Being "green" doesnt mean you have to drive a hybrid, or have solar panels on your house. Doing little things like using low energy light bulbs is a huge step. Composting your biodegradable trash, like leftover food, leaves and grass clippings. There is a new show on Discovery called Green, the new red white and blue. It showed if 1 in 3 Americans composted some of their trash it would reduced solid wasted management by almost 18 percent, thats calculates to almost 4 billion a year in fuel consumption alone from utility companies.

Changing our fuel consumption is not as hard as people think. everything impacts global warming, and i agree that the earth will adpate and stabilize as we go. That doesnt mean that we cant change the way we treat the earth.
