How many worlds would you prefer.
(Can I have another one on the rocks)
Sorry, this is not about my stay in Rome, but about given you a bad conscience next time you leave the water running or take the car instead of walking. Because you are also part of the problem of the global warming. Everybody is discussing whether its good or bad that the USA hasn't ratified the Kyoto agreement, while we are not willing to save a little bit of energy or leave the car once a while. There are people which says that global warming is not caused by the immense amount of co2 but in fact caused by disturbance on the surface of sun (link). But not matter how it happened, it is a quite big reminder, that we cannot expect to continue to live the way we do, if also the poor people in African and so many other places are going to have our life standard. So please think about how much you pollute, and ruin everything for the next one.
Try thinking about this, right now it is getting illegal to smoke everywhere because of the well being of the fellow humans. But why is it the god given right to every rich fat guy (or girl (no reason to discriminate)) to drive around in a huge environmental disaster because he can afford it, who has allowed him to use my clean air to run that 5 liters monster. When the air gets unbreathable I will not care how much he payed for it, because we are all the ones paying for pollution.
But why stop there, remember next time you trow something in the drain that shouldn't go there, will have an influence on the fish which have to live in the water, when you say yes to all the "free" commercials coming in your door each week or when buying food packed in non recycle material. Every were they preach buy and throw out, buy and throw out.. but where does it all end, nobody wants a garbage dump in the backyard because it smells and pollutes. maybe we could buy a little bit less, and don't throw out so much. Please...
Anyway I am so often called "the activist", I once again try to tell my activist ideas. So to have some interactive fun in the end. Go to the following website to see how many worlds do we need if everybody lived they way you did?

Try looking at the small picture...
Ps. This post is an reaction of peters post, which can be seen here (link), I do not disagree completely with him, I just think there is a lot other things to put in the equation.
Happy polluting polluter

I think there is a complete lack of perspective in the hole environmental campaign.
