How to save the earth from people?  We will exhaust the supply of oil in the next millenium?

Good question. Nowadays people are becoming animals( bcoz of the work they do without knowing the consequences- as animals do).Look what our mother earth suffers today- pollution, dumping wastes, destruction of ozone layer,and a lot more. Work today for a greener tommorow. Thats all what I have to say. We should not wait for others to start. Stop thinking and act now, before it is too late. :(

I sincerely believe the Earth will take care of itself long after we are gone just like it did before we came along.\n\nHowever, if you want to help right now 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, then go to this site and click on the button to provide food for starving people. It's absolutely free.

I think we'll screw up the atmosphere, then choke to death.  1000 years later, the Earth will probably fix itself, sans us.

You need to create a sense of urgency.  Most people could care less about the future, so the slogan needs to hit home.  Lets see...\n\nWould you murder your children?  Grandchildren, Great grand children?  Didn't think so.  Save the earth today to live tomorrow.\n\n$3.00 a gallon for gas??!!.............\ntry\n$10.00 a gallon for clean water!!!\n$500 for a tank of air!!!\nThe future is upon us: clean up or pay up!\n\nEmissions test-$20\nRecycled paper-$3.00\nRechargeable batteries-$6.00\nThe hope for a better tomorrow- Priceless\n\nAll will be held accountable for their destruction.  Clean your act up!

These "plans" are so stupid.  If you really want to do something that reduces the price of gasoline... you have to signifantly decrease the demand for oil.  That means not driving your car... at all.  Don't buy plastics or Rubber products ever.  Not just a few thousand people... it has to be 100's of millions of people.... then maybe... but\n\nNot going to happen... so forget it.

Wonderful question really.  "When will the Earth's fossil fuels run out?"  I have heard different estimates including in a few a decades, to a century.  Doesn't really matter now though does it. JESUS will return someday soon.  That is in the Bible.  That message was warned us from JESUS HIMSELF. Yet, in the here and now, if one wants a stable society without pandering to terrorists, supplying them with the money to build the bombs they want to use to destroy us, we need to end our dependency on foreign oil.  The only solution then is alternative renewable energy.  Solar Power, Batteries, Hydrogen, Fuel Cell technology.  Solutions such as Ethanol and Fuel additives are partial solutions which require often flexible engines that can use such fuels.  And it requires that we get oil tycoons, who have a vested monetary interest in current oil reserves to invest in and promote these technologies with incentives and the promise of future profits on their investments.  Yet, repent and prepare for the return of JESUS CHRIST, because he may return any day now.  Even today, be ready, everyday for that eventuality.  \n\n-LOVE YOUR NIEGHBOR AS YOURSELF

Every person uses resources.  In the US we use more than anyone else per person.  Adding people to the planet adds stress on the resources of the planet. The number of people and how much each uses creates conflict because finally there are limited resources. \n\nCurrently energy seems to be the resource that is in most demand.  Since a lot of it comes from oil, we fight wars over oil.  It is not pretty.  China has a huge population and is now starting to increase its use of energy.  It is still way below what each of us in the US uses.  As they "need" more their population, which is more stable than ours will increase their demand for oil.\n\nPoliticians who encourage us to use less are ridiculed and treated as freaks.  Jerry Brown in California was called Govenor Moonbeam because he wanted each person to only use what was needed.

no such thing as endless oil.  Sooner or later will run out.

At some point (are we already there?) we will hit what is called peak oil, meaning we will pump more oil that year than was ever pumped or will ever be again.  Then, unfortunately, things will get scary as we are compteting with India and China for oil.  What happens if China makes a move on the oil fields in the middle east?  Are we going to go to war for it?  This doesn't have to come about if our government actually plans for this by funding research into alternative fuel sources.  We can't wait for government, though.  We can change the way we live - enough with the SUVs, turn your heat down, ride (God forbid, if you're an American!) your bike to the store, ect.  Small changes can actually add up if we all do it...or even if 10% of us do.  The key is starting now...not when its already a crisis.

Ten simple things you can do to help the "Earth": \n\n1) Recycle\n2) Purchase only "energy star" appliances\n3) shower outdoors with a solar-heated shower\n4) Use only recycled products\n5) Eat organic\n6) Be certain your insulation is properly installed\n7) Use public transportation\n8) Turn the water off when brushing your teeth\n9) Only wash full loads of dishes/laundry\n10) Air-dry your clothes rather than using a dryer

the industrialized world is going to continue to extract, refine, chop down, pave over, and pollute everything in sight, until most land, water, and species have been destroyed and mankind can no longer survive.\n\nonce people have died off and a few thousand years have gone by, nature will begin to heal from the destruction we have caused, and any species that have survived will be better off.

I hope that in 5 billion years. We have somewhat evolved beyond this planet. Besides we won't have enough land or fossil fuels to last the next five hundred. I can hardly imagine five billion years from now.

Of course, we're heading to the end of the world...in a few billion years, when the sun expands and consumes our planet along with the other inner planets. All life on this planet will be extinguished well before that happens. However, human beings may very well extinguish their civilization and themselves sometime in the next few centuries. The problem is not the science. Of course, many well-respected scientists have been speaking out on the problems humanity faces. While some, like James Lovelock, may think we have already passed the point of no return; other scientists argue that we are still within a narrow window of opportunity to halt and perhaps even reverse the destructive policies and technologies that are presently damaging the environment. \n\nThe real problem is humanity, its cultures, and its governments. Most people around the world still hold a world view based upon ideas that were held to be valid back in the Stone Age... many people even believe that some supernatural agency will rescue humanity and clean up the world as soon as things have gotten as bad as they can get. Meanwhile, most governments base their decisions upon corporate interests and upon national interests... thus more global problems and their solutions are pretty much ignored. Short-sightedness is the overwhelming curse of humanity and its institutions.\n\nLife will continue in one form or another on this planet, whether there are human beings there to observe said life or not.

Just pretend there's global warming and here's what you would do\nWe would start to look for alternative energy sources Clean burn fuels to replace fossil fuels \n1. There would be research and development that would create dozens of new business"s in this search. It could dwarf the technology boom of the 90's\n2. These business's would create or boost other business's to partner with, supply parts and services\n3. All these new business's could create thousands upon thousands of new jobs1,2 and 3 would all be good for the economy\n4. We could stop shoving money into the pockets of mega rich Arab Sheiks and oil companies and their CEO's. every time you pull up to the pump you know one of these SO B's gets a cut. It might even scare them into dropping the price of gas\n5. It would take the power outta the hands of rogue country's in the middle east and make them a non factor by making us energy independent\n6.And ............OH YEA we might clean up the environment so we don't leave our kids a filthy sewer of a planet!!!!\n\nSo what would be the drawback about doin this?

Everything in life has a limit. There's only so much petroleum in the world, as well as resources. If you don't save or recycle them, then your future relatives will have a rough time living. It's vital to save resources.

So far, there's not enough demand to warrent the extra cost of developing alternative energy sources.  In order to stop using oil (for power) we will need to find cheaper ways of getting alternative energy or become much more motivated to do so.

There will be other energies. Only way we will run out of them is if the powers that control them (Oil men in many countries) say to. "Fossil" fuels themselves may not even be quite what we think they are.
