When a wedding party isn't planning on opening the gifts while at the reception, many just put a bow on their gifts to show off what they gave. As to a bridal shower, I would imagine it is following the lines of "gift basket" displays. They generally have just a card and bow. Personally, my family tends not to wrap because it is a waste of money (which could be used to get a better gift) or we wrap with cloth like they did (and do) in Japan. Silk scarves travel back and forth along with the ribbons. Once worn out, they are discarded or sent to a resale shop. Starting this tradition is environmentally friendly so try it with your family!

Yes I have heard it before.. and I have a whole hillside that will be blanketed with White blossoms soon...\n\nWhen we were logging our acreage I said "take anything you want.. but do not damage the Dogwoods".. and now I have people who stop along the roadside and take pictures of it.. I really need to clear more trees from the 1/4 mile roadside of my property so everyone can enjoy them..

It is with great trepidation I discuss the creation of the new nation.  It's current recreation is fornication which has lead to drastic dehydration and procreation.  We need to find a location for the re-hydration station as it's current situation is in need of relocation.\n\nI've done the paragraph and I am filled with humiliation at the state of my exultation.

I think that's a great idea. I would have planted 8 this year. I signed a paper to have them harvest my organs (if any are still functional) & then give the rest to research. The body is only a shell after all. I think even the Christians would agree that it would be better to do some good with the body than to give it to the worms. Of course, that is another form of recycling.

Very noble thoughts but hypocritical! Who would leave his car at home and ride a bicycle to work? Would u? The world is too entangled in the interests of different groups to let go of the facilities it has even if those facilities pollute our air. Big business clearly doesn't bother--Has there been a decrease in number of cars manufactured in the world? OK they're more energy efficient, but that doesn't solve the problem--Energy efficiency doesn't change the gases released into the atmoephere. Until now we should have developed and started mass producing a car using some other source of energy.Generatios to come will look back and definitely blame us for our inability to react fast enough to a looming danger.

I'm also doing an environmental project (school). I found lots of interesting stuff by asking the people around here. Try that but don't say it's your homework or something.

You have a very good point and you dont have to be a tree hugger to appreciate it either.  Find others in your community that feel the way you do, get local government on your side, talk to state / federal government, talk to the media.  Let the builders know that there will be a backlash to unwise building.  Maybe they won't stop the building but perhaps they will be wiser about it, adding green space and being more careful of the enviroment.  It's all you can do, short of buying up the land yourself.

It's not the building of too many houses so much as the way people are treating the land  and each other - they do not show any consideration for nature and do not give back. If you cut down a diseased or damaged tree - plant a new healthy one! Help educate people to be fair and respectful of nature and humanity.

I'm glad that this issue has arosen again.  We had some many concerns back in the 80's and early 90's about the environment.  However, it seem that we got a little busy with our owe lives. But this movie really hit hard and I hope that alot of people really consider the issues.  And no, we should no wait for a government to do something about it.  We are bigger then the government and the government is to answer to our needs.  Just remember that we all can make a difference.

Ms. Lil -\n\nThe fact is that our society's need for and willingness to pay for, for example, lumber, has resulted in lumber companies planting and raising more trees than they cut-down.\n\nDon't believe this? Google the "acreage in timber development" and find out that there is more timberland in development now than ever in the history of the country!  Why? Because people who put their money in long-term timber development know that growing more than you consume assures the future.\n\nSimple - eh?\n\nHey - the free enterprise system works better than any ten government agencies!\n\nGood luck with your project - it's a winner!

I just think it's silly.  In my old city, we had a radical "save the seeds!" group.  I suppose it could be important and it won't hurt, but we're nowhere near a crisis and I doubt there would be much use for any seeds that would be saved.\n\nOh well.  At least it reminds me of Chrono Trigger.

Try looking up websites for enviromental groups.  They may have some good ideas for you.

Well the point of the GBM is to plant trees to conserve the enviroment and improve the quality of life of Africans. In her Nobel prize speech she talked about a stream that ran close to her house when she was a child and now that that stream is dried up and forces people to walk long distances to get water. I suppose her inspiration was to improve others quality of life.
