ANd every day I walk past discarded cigarette buts, plastic bags and foam styrene. Walking past industrial areas I see Zink and heavy metal stained drains with white runoff, huge long streams of algae living off nutrient rich waters sucking oxygen and leaving poison in its place, trash, garbage, pieces of broken crates and plastic litter everywhere and people don't give a s**t, they walk past and ignore it! I see it and it makes me sick! It makes me angry and when people throw cigarette buts out thier car window I want to photograph it, send it to the EPA and bill them $2000 for the pleasure. If you want a future, then treat this planet with more care and respect you afford yourself and then you will have a future, if not you will die like a rat in poison cauldron of acid and grease. Plant natives in your garden, Stop waste and plastics by NOT USING IT! and use your cars only when you must!

Wait so your plan for how we should be more responsible is not to fix anything or change our ways, but to go ahead and **** everything up, but then have an escape plan, so we can do it all over again?That's like trying to help a junkie, and instead of giving real advice, telling him "Wow, you're being really irresponsible right now. You need to be off finding your next fix now, before it gets dark! Not just sitting around licking the residue off that plastic bag."

what makes me laugh, is considering your first paragraph and peoples statements that theres no WAY that humans could ever affect our environment. people dont even realize their impact.

You know, whenever I read something like this, I'm reminded that a scientist can be just as much of a doomsayer as someone who is religious.How many times, over the decades, have we heard that in XX years, for sure, there's going to be {really_bad_thing_X}? Someone up there brought up Soylent Green. We seriously thought, then, that that was basically the future of Earth. Didn't wind up happening. Hell, I recall when a 20-something I worked with said that "in 20 years, there won't be any fish left", then a 50-something coworker said "honey, they said that when I was your age too".Factor in that I can find very little about this guy, and it builds up into something that I just don't buy in to.

Honey bees, how they visit each one of the harvested fruit we eat. What if they just disappeared ? Would we here in the U.S. be able to find another pollinator ? Well, unless the mystery is solved soon, we may have to. <a class="user" href="http://www.quazen.com/Science/Agriculture/The-Honey-Bee-Mystery.22165">http://www.quazen.com/Science/Agriculture/The-Hone ...</a>The Honey Bee Mystery

How ridiculously important all of you people feel you are that you can control things like climate on this planet. Get over yourselves.
