7 Ways to Save the World

"What's an evetone?"

Sorry, I should have done what I do, usually: read my post, before I click on the "post quick reply".

I meant "EVERYONE".

Human beings have this interesting ability to overcome hardships, as long as they are not shackled by liberal/communist (pardon the redundancy) idealogy.

As long as the producers are allowed to produce, they will produce enough to support evetone, including the freeloaders.

You forgot to include conservative/fascist in your comment. Sorry about the redundancy.

I think we will have to agree to disagree on this topic. I refuse to concede that the world's current population is unsustainable. I maintain that as the world's population grows toward nine billion, not only will the Earth sustain this number but also that the overall living standard will actually increase - just as it has done for the last three decades. Time will tell which of us is correct. If you are right then humanity is going to experience a massive die-off; if I am right then nothing will happen other than a general and continual increase in the world's living standard.

If we continue to degrade the planet (kill off other species, pollute it, use up finite resources, etc.) quality of life will suffer and then life itself will suffer even more than it is now. You seem to be only concerned about human life. That's your prerogative, but humans are not the only species on the planet that matter.
Then there is info such as this:

BTW - I doubt very much that you are more concerned about the environment than I am. And please do not put words in my mouth. I did not at any time say that we should use up the Earth's resources and then move on. In fact I said quite the opposite. It seems to me you are interpreting my posts in a way favourable to your point of view rather than noting what I actually say.

I must apologize. I have mistaken you for another poster. Posters confuse each other occasionally. Sorry.

You are still putting words in my mouth, Anna. Nowhere in any of my posts did I say that I care only for human life.

Wrong. I said it seemed like that is all you are concerned about. I did not say you said that. Read it again.

Anyway, perhaps some people just don't seem to clue in to how intricate balances of life are and the depletion of one species can affect hundreds of others. I also think that there are some that just don't give a hoot.

But Anna, we were created in the image of god. We are special, don't you know. We are above all those lesser critters that we were given dominion over, so it is our duty to put them in their proper place - under our foot. We are so special that god is going to save our sorry asses when the world goes in the toilet because we have been so stupid.

Hello, I am a marketing management student and need a survey filled out by many people for my research class. It is on lighting solutions in Canada. It is 100% confidential and anonymous. Also it only takes about 5 minutes to complete and would be a great favour to helping me achieve a good mark.

The link is: Lighting Solutions Consumer Survey

I know this is a Canadian site, but in case, only Canadians please.
Have a great day and thank you in advance.
