Two facts for you: 1) The earth has been cooling and winters have been colder for the last few years, and 2) Green icons such as Al Gore and Richard Branson exempt themselves from the onerous regulations they want you to live by. Gore left the lights on all night during "earth hour" last week and flies around the world in a private jet preaching this nonsense, offsetting his "sin" buy buying "carbon credits" from his own company. Branson owns two private islands in the Carribean and a fleet of carbon belching airliners. What hypocrisy!
Please, go fly your jet, enjoy life, and stop worrying about this BS.
When did I ever mention Al Gore or Richard Branson? What hysteria? All I asked is whether or not your airlines recycle. Why do so many people take offense to this question and attack me cause I must be some crazy leftist brainwashed poor soul. So I think its a good idea to re-use the natural resources we take from the earth, why does this have to come with an agenda? Can't I just choose to be a better patron of our environment without having someone like you tell me about my "agenda".
So how would you have me use my mind otherwise? Should I go out and try to figure out how I can make as much money as possible, no matter how much harm it does to anyone and everyone around me? If I am wasting my mind by thinking about my own effect on our environment what would you think would be a valuble use of brainpower? Since when has being a considerate human, thinking about people other than himself a waste. You ought to save up all that hate you have for something more important to the world, like hating the corporations that pay thier workers $1.40 a day to make your Nikes and sell them to you for $90. Think about that a minute before you start hating the way I have wasted my mind.
