There is a fine line between telling the difference between actual scientific evidence and agenda being propagated by agenda-driven environmental scientists. The ability to see that line is directly proportional to the amount of education a person has on the subject. Personally, I believe the evidence is telling us the earth and climate are fine and thus I am doing anything in the name of the environmentalism/climate change/global warming.

Do I recycle? Not really. For me to do so would require me to sort through my garbage, separate it, and then drive it to a recycling center. It's more convenient to toss everything away. Besides, we're not going to overfill the landfills, raise the earth's temperature and melt the polar ice caps by not recycling.

Would I recycle if the refuse company provided us with recycling bins and pick-up? It depends. If people continue to claim to know what the "right thing" is and then chastise those who don't participate then the answer is no. If it costs me any more money than what I'm already paying the refuse company the answer is no.

And one more piece of advice. If you want to win people over to your side of the argument, a good start would be to drop the name-calling and labeling. You'll catch more bees with honey than you will with vinegar.
