Which do you think would be the best solution to our environmental problems?

Do you think it truly is better for everyone to do small things such as recycling, driving less and walking more, turning off water and electricity when not in use, etc. or for a few people to totally change their lives in an effort to protect the environment?|||It's better to have more people do little things than a few do a lot of things. The impact is greater and the overall morale on the issue is healthier.


You can go to greater support if you already havea a large percent of the population doing little things, and it's more likely to get less expensive to those little things, which further encourages.


A few people doing a lot does not encourage others and it flames bitterness between the doers and the do nothings.|||Everybody doing a few small things impacts the world greatly. It impacts others also, and makes them want to make a change. Its a domino effect. But a few people making a huge effort can be counteracted easily. We all have to pitch in and do what we can do to save the future.|||yes we must save green belt everywhere. We must plant green trees and try to protect existing ones. We must use renewable sources of energy and try to create more.|||we have to protect the environment to protct ourselves.just a little effort by eveyone can also help us to a greater extent.|||I started burning corn to heat my house two years ago.


Burning corn gives off no greenhouse gasses and saves me about $100 a month in heating bills. It also keeps my money in the local economy instead of sending it to Arab nations or South America.|||yes I do. I feel that it is the little things such as recycling and going to work on a bicycle and turning off water because it is important for the environment not to be suffering more than it already is. What you could do is join/enrol in a social network associating with this matter and you'll see how much your perspective on this engages you more.|||BOTH:





The reason is that for example in the EU ( I do not have the figures for North America), close to 50% of the large emittors of CO2 are for example large installations (around 5000 of them)





The rest is made of small emittors, mostly private people.





This is I believe a good picture of how the environmental problems can only be solved by the industry, private people, the government and NGO麓s all together.|||Either one will have a negligible effect on the environment.|||I think, in the end, it will take a few people in high, influential positions to protect the environment. Laws are probably the only way to stop the destruction of our earth, because there are too many greedy companies who are doing/have done massive damage in polluting our water and of our air. And as long as the almighty dollar, Euro, yuan, yen...can be earned by these people... without laws, they will not stop destroying the environment on a large scale.|||Hello. I think if more people put in well we would be better of. I think the best way to help the environment is to educate people more. I never knew anything but now i am learning and i have changed all my lighting in my house and also changed to gas as well. There is alot of things that i have changed only because i got told how to do things right. I think it comes down to learning. That is what i feel. Hope that helps. Take care.|||Yes I do, IF everyone did this we may all live a little longer. But there are so many idiots out there that don't think we are in any danger and that it is just a hoax. Those are the people that are dangerous to our world.





All you need to do is watch the Science Channel, Natural Geographic and a few others out there to see the danger this planet is in. I will never see it but my grandchildren will and their children. Really hope that they will survive the disaster that are forth coming....|||The first thing we need is a new Tax !!!!





Stay with me here.





We tax gasoline for roads. Cigarettes for new sports play houses, oops, I mean stadiums.





Lets put a, say, 50 cents tax on every bottle of water sold. The amazing amount of money that could be collected would be unreal!


If you can afford to pay outrageous prices for bottled water that's almost free from your tap, then 50 cents should not hurt you.


Besides, this would be a tax that doesn't hurt the poorer part of society. We can't afford bottled water now.|||Birth control.|||SAVE OUR EARTHQUAKE/TSUNAMI FREE
