Johnson,

You mock Al Gore's attempt to educate Americans about the dangers we are facing in the future.

You should be ashamed.

50 years ago people known as kooky environmentalists were beating the drums trying to get people to understand conservation, recycling and the dangers of pollution.

50 years ago people were talking about fossil fuels and how they are limited in supply.

And it was people like you who mocked them.

50 years from now people will likely be having similar conversations about the morons who didn't take the warnings seriously and turned everything regardless how lame into something political. Forget Al Gore.

Don't you care about your children, or your children's children?

Obviously not.

Not in my back (and front) yard but that is cause I chose to do something tangible about it. Dug up ugly, unproductive, useless grass and built flower beds planted with things that critters like (butterfly weed, bronze fennel, canna, sunflowers etc., etc.) Stopped using any kind of cide (pesticide, herbicide etc I figure anything with "cide" in its title has no business in a place meant to encourage life). Garden totally organically, feed the birdies on a regular basis. Let tree seedlings grow where they plant themselves (for the most part). You only have to sit on my patio for a few minutes to see a whole variety of wildlife, from birds, to lizards, tree frogs, butterflies, dragonflies etc., etc. I can't change the world, but I can change my little acre of it, and I am determined that NOTHING will suffer under my hand while I am steward of this little acre.

If Americans (and many others in the world) ripped out their front and back lawns and actually planted something useful instead of the most needy, useless plant in the world (ie lawn grass) which requires cutting, watering, fertilizing, weeding etc., it would make a huge difference, not only in water supplies (I am so sick of seeing sprinklers watering driveways), but it would cut down the amount of washed away fertilizer and herbicides which end up in the ground water and which then kill critters in creeks and streams. You would be amazed by the diversity of life that lives in an organically maintained garden.
