What people are treating the earth how?  The earth doesn't need anything done about it.

That depends a lot on what you mean by saving the world.  If you mean stopping pollution and such, you could join an environmental agency, or start recycling programs.  If you mean ending hunger, you could join a group like World Vision.  If you mean all of these things, well, good luck.

Just tell them they have to think about other people once in a while. They might get defensive at first, but they'll think about it and come around.

Drive less (or stop alltogether) and lobby your politicians for renewable energy reform.  Also, turn the lights out, keep your lint filter clean, skip a shower, turn computer and monitor off when not in use, eat organic, use natural cleaning supplies, put furnace on a timer, turn water off while soaping up in shower, reuse everything, read Walden by Henry David Thereau, etc.

That is an awesome idea...if people would just stop talking and maybe try to listen they might see that the solution to this problem is easy.

Yes, every problem could be solved through hard work and/or blunt honesty.  Unfortunately, too few people are willing to work at it.  It is a shame--"we've borrowed this earth from our grandchildren"

I agree!!! And then everyone wants to know how the world became so messed up! Everyone is out for only themselves and what they want right at the moment instead of thinking what their actions cause in the environment around them.They don't think of the people they are hurting.Very selfish I think!!

"Everyone wants to save the planet. No one helps mom with the dishes" - P.J. O'Rourke.  Fix the problems at hand and work your way up. Seldom if ever will folks not in the top power positions get to make the difference you seem to want to attempt. Try doing something smaller first. Simple acts of human kindness count, too!

have them imagine that they need help/assistance and what having other help them feels like.  Then have them imagine the same scenario w/o anyone to help them.  Then tell them that they can fill those voids and be that person that's there to help.  Tell them that there are tons of different ways they can help.  They can be on the front line or behind the scenes. They can help out animals or humans.

You could start one!\nI think many of us have a problem!

By all means you should report them!  I mean why should we tolerate people from another planet on our Earth!  Using up our brains & probing us in unmentionable places.  The nerve! If we went gallavanting off to Mars or something don't you think they would report us?

Robespierre has a point in that it's the countries that contribute in a big way to climate problems that should be doing much more to act, but I applaud your efforts, and, as with many things (eg. hunting) we need to make sure our own house is in order, and that we all making an effort, before we can start lecturing others on how to behave. (Even if our efforts aren't perfect, we can encourage the other countries to join us in moving towards the goals.)\n\nWith your protest, I think the people most interested in supporting it are the people who already go round turning off lights etc., and so it may not be terribly successful. But it may make the others think twice; I hope so. We have to keep plugging away to raise consciousness. \n\nHowever, in this country, I would like to see Councils and the Government take steps to reduce light pollution - too many floodlights and street lights pointing up into space. Office workers can get into the habit of turning off lights and computers at night. We can all stop leaving things on standby. \n\nWell done for your effort; keep it up. This weekend thing needed more publicity, though, I think.

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

Send them for professional help, buy them a good book.  Don't get too involved with them until they get their head straight.

It's a bit much...\n\nBut, they are what we're here for.....\n\nShort time!  Work to be done!  We try to educate them even when it hurts......\n\nWe are the "salt" of the earth.... If we were to be the "sugar" of the earth... the world would rot its teeth!!!!\n\nSometimes, we just got to rub them the wrong way, back!!!\n\n\nyour sister,\nGinger,\ngmcfayden@yahoo.com

You have an interesting point. People keep procreating anyway,\nwhy not keep yourself on planet Earth indefinitely? \nIt might be a good idea to have a video diary of things that went\nwrong, so when your teenager gets rebellious, just show the \nvideo & say "if you want to do that, check out the consequences!"\n\nIt will be like watching the future of one's self & may solve the\nneed for disipline.
