Re: Al Gore wants you to help the environment

Is there any middle ground between totally irresponsible polluting, dumping and littering, and Al Gore hypocrisy/extremism?

We teach our children that they are to take care of the land God created. We don't allow them to kill animals, or harmless/helpful insects unnecessarily. We don't allow them to litter. We try to purchase produce locally to support local farmers. I don't mind the new trend of using tote bags for groceries instead of endless supplies of plastic bags. We try to use non-toxic cleaning supplies, as much as possible. Although bleach is still my friend in the laundry room...

Great video, though. Effectively illustrates a shameful sham.

My personal opinion is that during the AnteDeluvian Age mankind was vegetarian in regards to environmental textualization. That being said, I feel there is a significant difference between responsible conservation and the religious fanaticism and extreme hypocrisy promulgated by Gore and his ilk.

Good grief. I have had to use dictionary.com three times so far tonight.

Although "perspicacity" IS a very good word--one I have never heard or used before. I will now try to find a place to insert it into daily conversation and patiently explain the definition to my friends when met with blank stares. (For some reason this is an endless source of amusement for me. Is making me use the dictionary amusing you?)

In regards to your educational endevours, I am unqualified to comment; however, if you would so desire to stay on the topic of the thread I would be interested in your opinion(s)
