    The whole problem is us humans aren't very environmentally friendly. We never have been it's just now there are so many of us. The world is full. We need a damn good plague to sort us out (or check out the link below)

    Your two choices are to either follow Ernknot and eat drink and be merry. Or go bush and become a mung bean. I'm leaning towards the mung bean but I'm pretty sure it's not going to make any difference.

    I can teach you a thing or two about guilt believe you me
    Me too. Remember, you weren't only guilty if you did anything, you were guilty if you thought about doing anything! Or if you thought about thinking about it.

    So what is wrong with it? We are at the stage that we need to be told.

    If we all do our bit then we shouldn’t be feeling guilty. Do you feel guilty? If so why?

    Wongo, the problem is doing our bit really isn't enough. Even if you are frugal, turn you lights out, drive less and don't shower we still will be unsustainable. The problem is not what we do but the number of us doing it.

    I do agree that guilt won't get us anywhere. Either make a fundamental change to your life if that makes you feel better or sit back back and enjoy. Either way you get to watch the horror show as it unfolds.

    Grunt, I fully understand.

    Heard a guy on the radio tonight. He questioned why we had to sacrifice so much to save the environment when we have only 1.5% of carbon emission. We should work together and it should start from the rich nations.

    Do I feel guilty? Yes and I am doing something about it.

    Can we really save the planet? Probably not.
    Can we buy more time? Maybe.
