Today is Earth Day (Tuesday, April 22)

Unlike some other people I don't believe that our planet needs to be saved. I'll leave that task to Al Gore.

I am just wondering how many of you on DP really, truly believe in the stuff like global warming and saving the earth.

How does anyone go about saving the earth?

PS And yes my wife and I do recycle empty cans and bottles, but it has nothing to do with saving the earth.

 

Shut down the Internet and save the world . Google page looks good.

 

What bothers me is this. Let's take Richard Branson, for instance. The guys is all for leaving less carbon footprint, he applauded Apple for taking a firm stand with its investors regarding some green initiatives, yet Mr. Branson wants to explore space with Virgin Galactic. One of those future flights will leave more carbon footprint than 10,000 cars combined. Why is the save the planet crowd silent on that? Is it because Mr. Branson super-rich and a likable guy? There's this huge hypocrisy going on around us with the whole save the earth thing, millions of dollars are being spent for nothing, yet most people are ok with that.
