Why do some people?(earth day)?

Question

why do SOME people need a speacial day just to do somthing about global warming & other environmental problems??

why wouldnt they think of doing good things for the earth on any other day?

Answer 1

I don't know. I kinda agree with you. People shouldn't need a special day to do something good for the earth. They should be doing it any day, and not just because the gov't set a day for it!

Answer 2

It is a special day for people to bring awarness to the people who don't do all they can and show them what they can do to make things better.  It doesn't mean that you should only do it for one day but if every year we get more and more to change their ways on that day and keep it going through their life time and pass it on to their children, we will slowly get a better planet.

Answer 3

i'm not rally sure i don't see why we have to have a day for it when we should be doing something everyday. i mean this world isn't gonna last as long as long as we think so there shouldn't be just one day to do something about global warming and everything when it should be an everyday thing.

Answer 4

our city had a big trade show at the local farmers market and it gave green entrepreneurs a chance to show there wares to the public and what devices are out there from wind to solar power,to high tec energy efficient windows,high tec composters for apts,and to products that are made from recycled everyday products,it was rather enlightening

Answer 5

They like to show their commitment by wearing t-shirts and recycling for just one day. The rest of the year, back to the same old habits.

Answer 6

How about we all just do it every day! Unfortunately that wont happen. It's the same with fathers, mothers day, christmas.

Why can't we all be nice and do something for our mother and father each day? And celebrate christ everyday?

Answer 7

Because your leader, Al Gore, is a hipocrit deushbag (sorry for the spelling) and so are most of the other  greenheads.

Answer 8

Because some people are cold hearted b******s.

No wait, that's mean.  I'm going to put the blame on laziness.  A lot of people are just too lazy.  They don't really care about the environment because they "have too much stuff" or "don't feel like it".  The purpose of Earth Day is for those lazy-heads to try to do something for the planet and then feel good about it, instead of doing things everyday.  It's just like the fact that some people use Father's Day as an excuse to talk to their estranged dad.

Answer 9

Hope,

Looks like you have you eyes open. Can’t say that about to many people in society today. Most of us walk around with blinders until a catastrophe hits, then we wake up pretty quick. Unfortunately we go blind again a few months later…

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live completely, 100% “off of the grid and are completely self sufficient”

The house is built utilizing natures natural elements, in the shape of an octagon with 8ft wide arch doors on every wall to catch every angle of wind (typical 4 sided homes have half the chance as one with 8 sides. A circle being the most efficient design). Woodburning stoves, solar chimney, solar AC, solar heating, solar water heating (pool and home), solar stove, solar power, wind power, hydrogen powered back up generator, hydrogen back up water heater, hydrogen stove, 2 hydrogen powered trucks, 1 EV (electric vehicle) and satellite internet.

We also built many green small cabins on the ranch that we offer to family, friends and our on-site off-grid workshop guests, including one straw bale, one papercrete, earth bag and adobe, one cob and cordwood, one underground and rammed earth, one log and post and beam and one rock. Each one actually started as a test for what the main house would be and were later finished and turned into guest cabins. I later wrote a guide on how to build with alternative materials using alternative methods for next to nothing.

We raise meat and milk goats, chickens for meat and eggs, ducks for meat and eggs, trap havilina (wild boar pig), rabbit, quail. brew our own beer from home grown products, preserve our fruits, vegetables, etc. smoke and jerky the meat, make our own soap, cheese.

There are no utility lines, no water lines, no roads, tv, cell service, etc. on our ranch. EVERYTHING needed is produced here. All electricity comes from 27 solar panels, 2 main wind gens and a back hydrogen generator if needed (typically we can last 9 days with all luxuries of sunless windless weather, hasn't happened yet). Water is caught and storaged from the rain. Hot water is made with solar batch water heaters with an on-demand hydrogen hot water heater as backup. solar chimney, solar AC, solar heating, solar water heating (pool and home), solar stove, solar power, wind power, hydrogen powered back up generator, hydrogen back up water heater, hydrogen stove, 2 hydrogen powered trucks, 1 EV (electric vehicle) and satellite internet. Even our vehicles use alternative energy (2 hydrogen trucks, 1 EV electric vehicle converted). Because of this we have no bills, no debt and no mortgage.

I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

my home has all the comforts listed above plus some. we live very comfortable without effecting the environment. just saying that tol et you know it's possible. you may not want to go as extreme as me and my family but anywhere in between is something.

Without getting to in depth here, Using alternative fuels in your vehicles and harnessing your own electricity from the sun, water, earth and wind are the 2 are key elements in making a green transition and erasing your carbon footprint.

here's a calculator to find out how much of a green impact your making (carbon footprint)

if you'd like to make your next step feel free to contact me personally at www agua-luna com

I've been installing home made Solar panels. Solar stoves, Solar batch and inline hot water heaters. Solar radiant heating. Solar home heating and AC, along with home made wind gens and other alternative energy items for the last 3 years.

You can even make the above projects on site with simple parts from the local hardware stores or auto stores or junk yards. For more info check out some guides I wrote / compiled on how to DIY www agua-luna com

Again these projects can be accomplished anywhere by anyone.

if you absolutely can't do anything in your home at least you can put alternative fuels in your car. most major automotive manufacturers (Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors, etc) recommend the use of bio fuels, and nearly every car manufacturer in the world approves ethanol blends in their warranty coverage.

In fact your probably even driving an ethanol car and didn't even know it.

The trick is finding fuel.

I've been producing biofuel for about 3 years now, it's not extremely difficult. Basically you need general household ingredients, a processor (or still for ethanol) and some used oil. Blend it, let separate, screen and use. I complied a guide a while back to help walk you threw the process step by step, just email me or check out..

as for recyling the best way i've found without taking money from your won pocket is to join a free freecycle group in your area or visit the habitat for humanity.

If you’d like help in making your self sufficient steps, feel free to contact me directly. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at www agua-luna com

on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others “help the environment”.

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

Stop Global Warming,

Answer 10

??? Why do some people need a special day to appreciate their mothers?

Every day should be Earth Day.

Answer 11

"Earth Day" was chosen by the greenies as a way to get everyone to celebrate the birthday of Vladimir Lenin.

Answer 12

It's just to bring social attention to it. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't think about it, but when there's a "special day" set aside, more people are effected by the effort and attention and perhaps it has helped make more people aware of the situation. Earth Day itself was probably started by just a group of hippies that were laughed at and now it gets worldwide attention.

Answer 13

Because its the special day that EVERYONE is supposed to contribute to helping the earth rathar than nooone p[aying attention. Plus, at schools since its a special day, THe teachers talk to tehir children about ti and thats hoe people actually find out about it.
