I always feel that it is more productive to lead people through clear and easy solution with a carrot then my the common environmentla trend of trying to scare people itno action. M ost peopel just shut down and ignore when something threatens their personal safety/sanity especially when it is out of their control.

Yes it is interesting, and I believe I do my bit most of the time, occassionally my wife will remind me, about the recycling, we have bags at home for all different items, newspapers, plastics, are all sorted, however there is no specific collection points.
The changing environment is quite simple to understand, but we live in a capitalistic world, with growing populations and longer life spans. I believe in euthanasia and the right to have my own say in what happens.
This is not financially exceptable to the health producing capitalistic Countries, who get rich off other peoples suffering!
To keep this brief, I will say the world can look after itself, humans will suffer the backlash of natures way of self preservation , millions will die, in its rage, to balance itself, although I will continue my duty of what i think is right!
We have little influence over government officials, that don't want to listen! Industry is the biggest cause of destruction of the environment and capitalists don't give a damn, they have one track minds! That is longer life, more suffering and more profits!
