Please remember I am around 30 years young, opinionated, and constantly on painkillers

I love the enviroment! I love conservation! I love nature!

I am not gona unplug anything!!!
cuz in "my" opinion....it accomplishes nothing but make people falsely feel good about themselves and their undying(note sarcasam) efforts to save the planet.....
When the hour is up they will feel a false sense of accomplishment as they sit in front of their big screen tv,relaxing in their power massage chair,enjoying the good climate in their heated 4500sq/ft luxury home thats filled with the rape and pillage of our enviroment....

its hard to type this out without laughing......

Im buying another diesel truck(I actually need a truck)and will run it on bio-diesel, I use alot of LED lighting in my home, I purchase energy efficient products whenever I can, I dont litter, I recycle, I try to do what I can..........

I am watching a big screen tv as I type this out, I have a very loud power hungry stereo(the power is off currently), I dirtbike, ride supermoto, and drive race cars that inhale fossil fuels(Id use bio-fuel if I could).

I partake in a hobby and even involve myself in the industry end of things in something that without a doubt destroys the enviroment(yeah you do too!!!)I do so as enviromentally sustainable as possible, I even consider myself a leader in enviromentally sustainable methods in our hobby! But I am not naive, everytime I purchase a wildcaught species of marine life, and even captive raised to an extent, I understand I am making a negative impact on the enviroment.

I am not a tree hugger by any strecth of the immagination. But I do things I can, to try to make less of a negative impact, I hear about something new I can do, evaluate it, and try it if possible.

But again, I will not unplug anything for one hour as it will accomplish nothing but false security! I will try to do things that in the longrun will make less of an impact on the enviroment wherever I can.

I will recycle the pizza box that just came to my door, as well as the coke can when Im done drinking it, but not before I watch a DVD on my bigscreen tv with my 5.1 stereo cranked till the walls shake(I turn the power off when Im done)then Ill have a hot shower(I try to keep it quick and use enviromentally friendly products)(how friendly they are is up in the air???)then Ill go to sleep in my high effiency furnace heated home(it was more expensive, but worth it)

My point is, I try to keep things in perspective, and do what I can

this list of things, rants, could go on forever...........

that reminds me, I need to plug in my cell phone........
