Don't Buy The Bull. Get The Facts.
The average American consumes the resource equivalent of 9 earths. If you jerk your head out of where it's parked, you'll notice that we still only have one planet.
Our Yankee heads are so far up our asses we think it's sunshine and roses and there's always going to be a chicken in every pot. And that planting trees will save the day in a spectacular Hail Mary. Not.
This environmental stuff is not a laughing matter or a topic to be mocked. Or ignored, lurkers. Every form of refuge has its price.
One person causes about 10 tons of carbon dioxide to be emitted a year. One tree removes about 1 ton of CO2 per year. Planting 30 trees per person will offset each person's carbon debt for the year.

The average American consumes 46,414 pounds of materials a year. This includes coal (7,400 lbs), oil (6,420 lbs – the weight of 1,069 gallons of gasoline), natural gas (3,240 lbs – the weight of 72,000 cu. ft.), cement (902 lbs), iron ore (440 lbs), and clays (290 lbs). This is about 7 times the weight of the food eaten (2200 lbs).

The American Revolution is still happening in spite of all that. We are still changing, still learning. If some of us were not constantly tearing away at what others of us think we know, we would all still think the earth flat.

Taking potshots, 98.18.47.217?
I have a skin like a rhino. Like I said, your shit is weak.
And you should know I drive a car all of two or three times a year. So, it's pretty dumb to claim I have my head up my ass about it.
I don't hide behind anonymous comments either.
What about you, Georgia wisecracker? When are you going to talk about the issues I raise instead of making it personal?
That's what's wrong with America, right there. You'd rather make fun of the problem.
