Are environmentalists ready to put their money on the line?

Question

Or is it ours they want to use !

Answer 1

One planet.  I'm willing to step up to do what needs to be done, yes.

This weekend a local open space preserve is celebrating 20 years since residents there voted to support open space preservation.  They did so knowing that there would be some expenses incurred in management, but they recognized the value of having open space, both for its intrinsic value and as a boost to property values.

I find it very economical to do what is necessary to correct problems on the only planet we have that supports us.  To do otherwise, I believe, is unwise, for current inhabitants and those of the future.

Answer 2

no, only the working people who must work and feed their families.  Most environmentalist have never had a real job, or they work for the gov. which is about the same thing.  Its easy to criticize when it cost you nothing to change.

Answer 3

Which environmentalists are you talking about? Surely anyone who cares about the environment is an environmentalist.

You say 'ours', who is this group of people you are speaking for?

Richard Branson (owner of the Virgin Group) is an environmentalist who uses his own money.

This is not two different groups of people, this is one group on the same planet. I am a geographer and I believe that if we don't change our ways soon we will have to work harder to maintain our current lifestyles in the future, than we would if we just altered our lifestyles now.

The evidence is there for all to see, if you refuse to believe it you are a fool. I studied all of these things for seven years, global warming, sea-levels rising, oil reserves. It is incontrevertible!
