Things to do to save the planet?

Does it frighten you that total strangers can find ways to get along?

Or is it that most of them think of you as a childish troll?

Andy,

I believe you and I have discussed this some years back. I don't really care what other people THINK, I would think you would have caught on to that fact.

As for being a troll any one who posts and reposts could be considered a troll. I never say anything to intentionally hurt anyone. I give as good as I get, people like to stick together in their little cliques, I go my own way.

Many of you and you are not alone take the Forums far to seriously. I use to myself at one time but got over myself. Suggest some of you try doing the same and have some fun with them as Russ intended!!!

OH, Happy New Year Andy good health to you in 2019!!!

Ride a bike more. I mean one you pedal, not an e-bike.

Rather use an e-bike than your car (I ride still the non e-bike to work each day)

Walk to the shops and use the car less.
Compost the rabbit bedding and poop.
Dilute the bleach and washing up liquid.

Pass more taxes.

Taxation is the only power to combat climate change.

Oddly enough, taxation solves all the rest of our problems as well.

It may already be too late for our Planet, with a little luck I will not be around to see it!!!

tangentboy here,

all due respect ms drewnogal,
the planet does not need, nor desire, our empathy...
it is humankind,
the very same humans who wring their collective hands at the awful awful things that humans do,
who are in peril...
there is a saying, prolly as old as humans,
do not crap where you eat...

lol
whether the planet is flat or spherical,
we've ALL ...[text shortened]... the only thing that will "save the planet" is when all humans are a footnote in the history books...

I agree, the planet would be better off without us.
I wonder if the Orangutangs will develop to take on the role of writing the history books, that’s if we haven’t wiped them out first?

Kinda a planet of the apes thing?

Produce less offspring

No need to worry on that score, we’ve already messed that up ourselves:

Problems with sperm, including a low sperm count and problems with sperm quality, are quite common. They're a factor in around one in three couples who are struggling to get pregnant.

Yes.
This is the number 1 thing that we can do/could have done.
The most polluting thing any of us do is reproduce.

Just the two, I don't feel too bad.

A friend of mine has just a single child and a big factor for
him in not having more was to be environmentally friendly.

Here in the UK we are being told that we are not breeding enough, that there wont be enough younger people to care for our ageing population and that Brexit will reduce the birthrate even more.

We’ll need a Brexit Baby Boom!

You will not have to be concerned about that, man keeps going in the direction we are heading and none of us will be around anyways as we will destroy ourselves.

If predictability were taxable, you'd be dead broke.
