Reply #20: If we can do it without hurting our planet

and ensure that future generations will have a planet that is liveable, strides like solar and wind are good and necessary. However, at this point, we still don't have that on a massive enough scale, so those who continue to emit GHGs with conventional means at the same rate who think they are absolved by sending in a check are really imo still contributing to the problem. But I agree, people on the whole will never fully adapt their lifestyles to conditions because their perceived comfort level is more important. And that is partly because of the propaganda put out that their comfort would actually be compromised by becoming more morally responsible, which is actually false. That's why we need alternate energies that the poor can afford and have access to as well, since many of us don't have the luxury of mailing a check for 100,000 to an organization to plant trees everytime we get on a plane or drive our cars.
