What bothers me is that we think we need a big scary impending feeling of doom hanging over us in order to be motivated enough to act responsibly. No, I don’t believe man has a significant impact on global climate cycles, but I do believe that we need to be good stewards of our environment.

So yes, buy organic, use green cleaning supplies, recycle, be conservative in your use of fuel, etc. But do it because you are a responsible human being, not because some politician is using scare tactics to get your vote.
