  1. If there was no global warming we will still be in the ice age. I wonder how the cave man got the earth warm enough so they could go to the beach on the weekends.

  2. It doesn’t

    It just makes the people who are living green feel good about themselves.

    The earth could care less.

  3. It depends on how you define living green. Energy conservation or clean energy can mean less pollution and eventually less coal and oil being extracted from the earth. Eating locally and organic can mean less pollution because of transportation effects, and fewer pesticides washed into our drinking water, not to mention less rain forests cut down to grow food. The list can go on. Ultimately we aren’t trying to save the earth, just our way of life. We have created a situation that is rendering the earth inhospitable to human life. If we all die off the earth will heal.

  6. XXXoooXXXoooXXXooo !

    believe that any time you are back in touch with the natural world, you are doing something very important for your mental health. I don’t believe that most people are really built for living in a world of concrete and steel; if we were, I doubt that so very many of would take so much trouble to get out of the cities on the weekends, and go to the lake, skiing, hiking, and so on. This certainly seems to be a need that many of us share, and if we do not work to preserve our own personal favorite patch of the natural world, it won’t be long before it doesn’t exist any longer. Conversely, I believe when we DO actively work to preserve that special spot, or someone ELSE’S special treasure, that we know somewhere inside that we have done something fundamentally RIGHT, and I believe it contributes to our self-worth and self-esteem.

  7. Because of the carbon foot print everyone has, when you live green and i live green, and then yours and mine live green it spider whebs out so that we as a society tread more lightly as we go. Pass it on please

  8. In most cases it doesn’t. The earth isn’t alive, and despite what we do to it, it’s going to keep circling the sun.

    Living Green is a way people live to make themselves feel better about the way they live. People feel that if they recycle, use special light bulbs, walk instead of drive, etc., that they’re helping sustain a planet that can hold life as we know it.

    Of course, what evloution teaches us is that as the planet changes, so will its inhabitants. That’s the law of nature and survival of the fittest. So, stopping the world from changing isn’t really helping "life" in general (considering the life of new species that won’t be able to survive because the planet is not changing to a world they can live in), it’s helping life that currently exists (people, dogs, cats, etc.)

    Living Green, despite what it was or was intended to be, is a marketing scheme more than less. It’s a way for light bulb manufacturers or car companies to continue marketing products that may be bad for the environment as "environmentally friendly alternatives."

  9. "living green" is an idea to consume less and be more efficient with the resources we use, we all need to consume and will affect the earth no mater how we live. Living green is about trying to have less of a permanent negative impact on the earth. ( its kind of like saving money just for emergencies , but in this case its saving natural resources because we don’t know whats going to happen in the future- well actually we do – were going to run out them quickly the way were living)

    to sum it up its trying to use less resources, in the hope of making them last longer, or ultimately never run out.
