How do you make your footprint lighter?

And besides, the way it is now, we are dependent on a set of finicky countries who don't even like us.

I don't know about the weather stations, but I believe we're using satellites to confirm our data, I'll check it out
 
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/globalwarming.html
"The National Climatic Data Center contains the instrumental and paleoclimatic records that can precisely define the nature of climatic fluctuations at time scales of a century and longer. Among the diverse kinds of data platforms whose data contribute to NCDC's resources are: Ships, buoys, weather stations, weather balloons, satellites, radar and many climate proxy records such as tree rings and ice cores. The National Oceanographic Data Center contains the subsurface ocean data which reveal the ways that heat is distributed and redistributed over the planet."

So...even if many weather stations are out of wack, things are confirmed by satellite and many other ways.

Plus, it's not only the US that does this
 
well if we can find ways to make changes with only 1 time costs that will reduce energy costs.. that wont screw up our economy.. and chances are other countries might convert along with us if it works out and is better for the environment and will be cheaper in the longrun. obv it sounds simpler than it is, but..
we just need to think hard about it for a while, come up with different plans, try out different things on a small scale until we find changes that we can make that will work well and be beneficial to the earth and to the economy.
the energy saving stuff is good for our wallets too, dont forget that.
 
like i said before though, with minimal-no ripple effects. the ethanol bio-fuel stuff just.. failed lol. i wish i had a FAIL picture right now.
im sure there are ways.
 
I don't litter.


The rest is all bunk.
 
What I do or don't do doesn't have much if any impact, its the manufacturing corporations who are polluting everything.

Nonetheless, I try to do my part in helping nature along in my small plot of land in suburbia by providing birdfeeders and water year around, having a part of my backyard go unmowed and growing wildflowers for butterflies and bees, planting only things that can take the hot, dry and humid tennessee summers without watering, I use a rainbarrel, I have a corner of the yard for table scraps and tree branches. I have a 3x3 raised bed garden where I use the "French Intensive Method" of gardening. Next year I'll add another. I teach my kids the value of a catapillar, and that not all bees are "out to get you", how everything is connected in our world.
 
we all have an impact..we are part of the ecosystem.

minimal impacts multipled several million times = larger impact.

all in all tho..I stand by our existance on earth is but a blip of time.

Click to expand...

The manufacturing corporations wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the demand of what they produce. So we can't blame them for meeting a demand. We need to change our demand of products. We erroneously label items as "Must Have" when it really isn't needed to survive comfortably.
 
so we should boycot big polluting factory products utill they change their production ways? if you are i like that idea.

SchizotypalVamp, sorry i start rambling after a while...
