    Never quite understood the idea of "Save the Planet"...
    Yep this might surprise you but I once had a Geology teacher that said the same thing...it surprised me I assumed she be all pro environment and trying to save the planet. She said doing things is a good idea, but us as humans will never HURT the planet....the planet does not need SAVED. One of the better classes I took.

    I'm all for "Save the Humans" and not wasting resources where they can be conserved, but the whole scare tactic of "Save the Planet" is a little BS to me. If you want support for your cause, then accurately describe your cause.

    Similarly I have zero buy in for "Climate Change" since a) it's a cyclical thing that's been happening long before humans came into the picture, and b) it started out as "global warming" until people realized it was getting colder some years and they had to change the name.

    The wackos just need to tell it like it is:
    Use all the oil and we can't drive anymore
    Use all the coal and our houses will be cold in the winter and hot in the summer, it'll also be dark at night.
    Use all the trees and we won't have any more shade, houses will be made out of concrete (which will be tough to mix without any oil powering the mixers, and fireplaces won't smell as good.
    Use all the natural gas and fireplaces won't work at all (after the trees go away) and it'll get cold in the winter.
    All of this amounts to save the people, or at least save their creature comforts. Not a single thing in that list is going to make the planet explode and cease to exist.

    I figured out I could save about $20/mo by putting my big ass computer to sleep 23 out of 24 hours of the day. But I did it for my Xcel bill, not for the planet.
