Sorry, I got 2 min. into it and didn't have time to finish it. I bookmarked it tho... I promise I will watch it and come back

luvmykids replied: I didn't watch the video but I did read the "Interesting Facts"...there were some good ideas.

mommy~to~a~bunch replied:
Not to mention very depressing facts. You can only do so much as one person, the rest of the population needs to help out too, but it's sad to say that most don't care.

PrairieMom replied:
I have been getting a lot of "what about China?'" comments lately, when someone notices me making an effort to be greener.
you know, you can only be responsible for your individual actions, you have no control over what someone is doing in china. but, if I make a difference, and you make a difference already that makes 2 of us making a difference ya know?

mommy~to~a~bunch replied:
Yep ! Hopefully more people will realize that the rate we consume resources now can't last forever without dire consequences to our children, grandchildren & great-grandchildren, and so on. We only have 1 Earth, and we need to take care of Her.

PrairieMom replied: I finally watched it.
So scary. And, since I am completely fear motivated, totally motivating.
I seriously don't know what else I can do to be more green tho.

mommy~to~a~bunch replied:
I know, it's scary and depressing, but if you want to help, it takes work. I try to turn those bad feelings into action, by trying to do even more. The main point from the movie is just to BUY LESS STUFF. I am determined to try & make what we need, or find some other alternative that doesn't require going shopping all the time.
