I think it is humurous that we think that we are capable of destroying the earth. When God is ready the earth will be destroyed and until then no matter what we do it will remain. I am definately for recycling, but to think we can destroy what God has made is humanistic thinking.

I believe this... we are absolutely and totally incapable of destroying the earth.

But we are capable of making it increasingly unfriendly to us for our own purposes.

If global warming is true... no destruction of the earth... but destruction of much of our land. There is evidence that MUCH land closer to our coasts was once part of the oceans, gulfs etc so this is nothing new... and if the ice caps melted and flooded much of the US what would the earth care?

If we kill ourselves off then the earth will recover.

The earth has suffered many natural events and time always makes life out of what brought death.

We can't destroy the earth.... so true.

But we can poison our own environment.

People live in cities that have visible clouds of exhaust fumes over them...

Companies dump poisons in landfills not thinking that these things leach into our water supply.

People build big cities in the dessert thinking they can suck these vast amounts of water out of aquifers forever and create an oasis against nature.

The huge cities we have today are using more resources than one area can give.

We can't kill the earth.

But we can sure mess ourselves up.

In California truckers can't leave their trucks running.

If ou have to wait for someone in the winter or in the summer, is it such a sin to have the heat going and or, A/C?

Sorry, this is an extreme IMHO.

Ron, didn't mean to bite your head off, hormones gone wild, sorry ...

RonB, it takes more fuel to run a car for 1 min than to restart it. So we start driving in circles now?

In Vancouver, our local City Council voted a new by law which came into effect today.
The By law states that you can not "idle" your car for more than 3 minutes or you will get a $50 fine.

I asked a By law officer, :what about if someone waits in their car and needs heat in the winter, or A/C in the summer?"

He said, "don't care, it's the law."

In San Fran, and one other Canadian City they are outlawing plastic bags.

When are people going to stop worshipping the Earth and thinking that it is going to be around for another Billion years?

Thanks for allowing me to vent!

this is a society that saves the trees and kills children...what do you expect?
