  I think each one of us can be resposible for change in our own personal realities that will add up. Last year, the US alone used enough plastic water bottles to circle the Earth 190 times. I personally buy biodegradable, reusable bottles made from sugar cane and recycle wherever possible. If each one of us did that, I bet we'd reduce this number by three quarters. I agree that we need alternative ways to fuel our lives, but maybe more so, we need alternative ways of life that need less fuel. If we only used what we truely needed, and no more, how much less waste would we have and less demand for oil for petroleum based plastics, furniture, tires, rubbers, etc. If we all hold space and manifest an honorable existance on this planet, things could change.

    This is a very good thing from you to do Danica, but sadly not all people in the world have the option
    to buy bottles made from sugar cane, and they just use the same ol plastic bottle...
    By saying IF we only use what we need... im afraid wont change the situation, bcoz ppl
    from what i've seen till now they never use only the necessary, bcoz of course thats the way they
    are brought up...like spoiled kids... Proper Education is necessary for this...
    My point is that by "patching" the holes in a sinking boat, wont get us far...
    And ppl need to realize that...
    We need to build a new boat, and to build it from a material that wont let holes made to it...
    Just like water....you can't make a hole in water..

      Thank you V4VP! What you say makes a lot of sense. I tried to capture that sentiment when I said "I agree that we need alternative ways to fuel our lives, but maybe more so, we need alternative ways of life that need less fuel." Education is so important, I agree completely. Maybe we need to go back to a simpler time in order to go forward. We've lost the connection and honor of Mother Gaia. People say money is the root of all evil, and more and more I think I agree. I think much of the Earth's disregard is from a strive for money and more money because most think money will bring happiness.

  vagelis yes it already said in the bible that this was going to be done, sometimes it is the necessary of 2 evils helps create excactly what we want to create what we want for life now and into the future, i mean how much more are we are to lay back and expect to think the governments are going to responsond to a detrimental spill such as this environmental disaster. we must regardless how much our lives are worth, how much do we care beyond a shadow of a doubt are we worth to lay down our or your ego's for the price of livelihoods? i mean really,,,Your lives.! would you risk your own or watch others do it for you....or Seriously,,,,what do you think and or want from this......Your lives are worth in the name of God, something, however what do you want to represent to the world......I reckon your voice more so than your lives........Otherwise, who would listen......Truly.....who really would want to,,,,you must decide, if others follows then these are the ones who are meant o have the calling to unite under the one umbrella to be able to.

  Assuming responsibility is the KEY to change... you can post all day long but what you DO,it is WHAT YOU DO, that makes the difference, and if you choose to DO things with group energy... that is more powerful... SO here is the question to this retoric posts... HOW can We make a difference ?

    There are many ecological organizations right now on earth, and they have been here for quite some time now..
    but i havent seen till now any serious results regarding environmental betterment...in fact what i see from year to year, is that things go worse all the time as far as pollution, and forest destruction on this Earth...
    despite that most of the ppl care about the environment, i dont see change for the better...
    why is this happening???.... can we ask ourselves this simple question???

We have a place for those of kind heart and responsible attitude...
