Ways to save the world

Ways to save the world

In regards to the balance of nature topic thought I give it a spin-off topic about ways to save the world.

So anyway what sorts of things u could do or already do to reduce your carbon footprint (greenhouse gasses) in your own home or out and about. Like for example:

For home: 1. Keeping your air-con at 26 degrees {instead having at full bull in summer, reduces your power bill thus reducing greenhouse gasses in your own home and at the power station in generating the actual power)
2. Having a compost bin in the garden (good for the environment)
3. And variety of other things there.

For out and about: 1. Catching public transport instead using your car
2. Even better ride your bike as its good exercise and not doing anything wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway there are heaps of things u can do to help out, but now the government what they can do to help out. So ask yourself what can u do or what the governments can do to make this world a healthier and better place for everyone?

recycle lots, recycle everything, recycle your granny!

i swear i made a longish post somewhere about this.

meh, over 8000 posts, its surprising what i can remember.



oh, and the best way to save the world: kill all humans.

I agree that we should try and make a smaller footprint on the earth, but the idea of a balance of nature is a fallacy. I'm a wildlife biology student, and all I've learned since getting in the field is that there is always someone on top, and nature doesn't balance itself. nature is fluid and constantly changing.

Eat Less Meat!

Now, I'm not one of those people who want to make you stop eating meat, (by all means, eat what you want) but the truth is that factory farms raising animals only to slaughter them for food has gotten so out of hand that it's become very harmful to the environment.

On Peta2's website it states that "According to the United Nations, raising animals for food generates more greenhouse-gas emissions than all the cars, planes, ships, trucks, and trains in the world combined"

So eating less meat would help fight global warming.

It seemes very narcissistic to think that humans has such a huge impact on the world, that we are capable of "destroying" or "saving" it.

26 degree air conditioning???????

Is that Farenheit or Celcius?

I don't want to be an ice cube just to save the planet, thank you.

if we erased what humans have done to the world, it would be a different place.

I think that humans can exist with Nature, they just need a major reformation.

Get back to basics? yea, it could be done, but so few would want to.

believe that if you want.

I believe in eating a balanced diet.
Humans are omnivores. we're meant to eat meat.

That would be one way.
Though I think there are ways that human beings could be technologically advanced while still preserving the natural environment.

Well, I don't believe in global warming but the way that farm animals are so highly concentrated in some areas is really not good for the environment sometimes. Run off from the farms with animal waste can get into the water supply and cause illness. Animals were probably never meant to be farmed like that. Humans in the past hunted free range game.

I absolutely agree with that. Animals should not be kept in the conditions they are in at a KFC farm. And the idea of free range is a farce. Putting a free range label on food is not controlled, so most of the time the animals are kept the same way not free range.

Same could be said for a lot of things. If you erased trees and plants from the world, for example, it would be completely different. But you don't often hear people requesting that trees do more for the planet.

I'd personally wipe out all of the trees: what use do they have, really?

don't trees help with the air pollution problem or something?
i thought i heard that somewhere before

true that. all that animal waste as to go somewhere.

monicaxmonsturr wrote: all that animal waste as to go somewhere.

it does. its fertilizer for crops.
the crops are then eaten by humans or the animals that fertilized it.
its called recycling.
If we didn't have animals to produce fertilizer, what would be used on crops?
