If it’s proven beyond a reasonable doubt, that the Bush administration is based on lies, what can be done?

What if the “TRUTH” your government presents you is a lie.
That “GLOBAL WARMING” is not true.
That the “WAR” was justified and over.
That political “LEADERS” are saint like, free of all evil.
That “ENERGY” needs can only be solved by drilling for more oil.
Or that “SOLAR” energy and “RECYCLING” of all product is just too costly or a waste of time.
Do “YOU” really believe what your leaders are telling you, or do you believe that a conspiracy is happening to hide the truth about the distruction of the planet just for “ECONOMIC” reasons.
“MONEY” doesn’t make the world go round, it was allready spinng.
With “LIFE”.
Not a spinning “DEAD” planet.

can u please help me make one title please???????????

my essay is about Pollution in California…
i thought one title (tell me if its good please)
—Title—–>>>-Pollution – The Worst Killer of the Human Race
—>or should i say serial killer
i dont know please help me
thank you in advance
—incase u wanna see my essay here it is

In recent years, pollution in California has increased due to the lack of environmental awareness as well as the lack of citizens commitment to protect our natural resources. There are many reasons that people create pollution. Also, it is easy to see that pollution is increasing day by day and not many people is doing anything about it. Moreover, Only humans can try to lower down the pollution, however most of them are not willing to do anything about it.
The citizen’s of California generally aren’t aware that they are creating soil pollution by dumping their waste where they are not supposed to. Soil pollution usually results from different human activities, such as waste dumping, use of agrochemicals, mining operations and urbanization. Californians waste more stuff than they actually use, as a result, people create soil pollution. For examples, people use a lot of pest-killing chemicals, like fumigants, but they do not know that too much of these chemicals can make their land polluted. Additionally, soil pollution can cause some very serious problems. People often developed coughing, wheezing, muscle aches, and headaches because of the chemicals they are using. Also, respiratory and other health problems, such as asthma and disruption of menstrual cycles are the most dangerous disease that people can have from soil pollution. As a result, by putting limits on chemicals, lands can be secure, and numbers of people getting sick and even dying can be lessened.
Ocean pollution is a major problem that is affecting the ocean and California, too. Nowadays, people dump much of their waste into the water. Oil spills, toxic wastes, and dumping of other harmful materials are all major sources of pollution in the ocean. Sewage as well as domestic and farm wastes often to pollute rivers and dams. Moreover, ocean pollution causes a great deal of health problems. Pollution in the ocean directly affects ocean organisms and indirectly affects human health and resources. Some of the leaked gases, for example leaked Nerve gas in the ocean, are the most dangerous because it kills everyone that comes in contact with it. Consequently, people should learn more about the ocean pollution because if they are more informed about the pollution in the ocean, then they will more know how to stop the pollution
In a California that is becoming increasingly industrialized, and also where more people can afford to drive cars, air pollution is becoming a larger problem. Air pollution is the major concern that people need to be aware of. Vehicles are the main sources for polluting the environment. The older cars get, the more pollution they create than the new ones. Other man-made source that creates pollution are industries. Furthermore, diseases are also transmitted through the air in pollution. Respiratory problems, cancer, heart problems, asthma symptoms, and allergy symptoms are very usual and scientifically established result of air pollution. Children and elderly people catch those diseases very quickly. This can be very annoying and dangerous to some people. Therefore, California needs to enforce stricter regulation, otherwise air pollution will become an uncontrollable problem followed by many risks that could potentially threaten humans.
In conclusion, Pollutions can lead all the living species to very hazardous situation. People should recycle all the stuff that is not needed. Also, reusing and reducing can be very helpful. Finally, pollution is unstoppable and unpreventable, but at least people can do is lessen its affects by knowing more about the pollution. People should ask themselves that what consequences they have to live with in the future if the pollution get out of their hands.

Poll: which of the following would you be willing to do to prevent GLOBAL WARMING?

Energy is produced to generate electricity and to keep us warm. Most energy is produced by the burning of fossil fuels, like coal, oil and gas, which release carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Fuel burnt in our cars also releases carbon dioxide.

As an individual, you have little control on how your energy is produced. However, you can control the way in which you use that energy. Using less energy means less needs to be produced. Hence less carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

There are a number of ways that you can help to save energy in your home:

Say no to plastic bottles, etc… as much as possible.
Air dry your clothes. I live in Mexico sometimes, and yes it does not hurt to do this!
Turn off lights and appliances when they are not needed;
Re-insulate your walls and lofts, or eventually pay someone to do this.
Have a shower instead of a bath;
Fit double glazing;
Turn your heating down. (Turning it down by 1°C saves 10% on energy bills.)
Are you willing to advertize or find at least 2 other people to carpool with for the next 5 to 10 years? Yea or ne?
Eventually….. I know this is hard but eventually Buy a Hybrid Car
The average driver could save 16,000 lbs. of CO2 and $3,750 per year driving a hybrid
At present in the UK we produce 16 million tonnes of household rubbish a year. 90% of this waste is dumped into landfill sites. Landfill waste produces the second most important greenhouse gas, which is methane. If we can recycle more of this waste, the need to mine raw materials will decrease and less waste will need to be buried as landfill.

Road transport is the fastest growing sector in the UK. A quarter of carbon dioxide emissions comes from road transport. By using public transport, and by cycling and walking more, we can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released by our cars.

for “treehuggers”…?

you wanna help the enviroment
i do as much as you can
save electricity
conserving oil and water
and all of that

so i’m trying to get kids in my skool to save
paper
if you think about it pplz in skool use probly
hundreds of paper in a just a matter of days
imagine how much in a month!
now im recycling every old piece of info
but others are throwing it away.
i tell them to recycle.
so they do
for about two seconds.
they dont take me seriously and
dont know what impact not recycling—
or other things too like water, grass, trees, and trying to stay out of global warming.
it’s just that
im one person.
my friends think im crazy if i ask them
our skool set up a watter bottle recycling bin
but no one recycles!
no one does anything
heres my question:
how can i spread word?
show kids impact if they laze off and dont
protect the world for a better tommarow?
i dont want to hand out fliers because it waste papers.
and i dont have any email adresses. HELP!

for 10 points could you please reword this?

When you recycle you are breaking down the materials of a used product and using those materials to make something new. Recycling is important because it:
Conservation of non-renewable fossil fuels – Plastic production uses 8% of the world’s oil production, 4% as feedstock and 4% during manufacture.
Reduced consumption of energy.
Reduced amounts of solid waste going to landfill.
Reduced emissions of carbon-dioxide (CO2), nitrogen-oxide (NO) and sulphur-dioxide (SO2).
Saves energy.
Conserves natural resources.
Prolongs the life of resources made from the first product.
Reduces the amount of waste being sent to landfill.
