This weekend's New York Times Magazine is coined "The Green Issue," and is filled with excellent articles about how to reduce your carbon footprint. One great article, "Why Bother?" does an excellent job explaining why we should bother with making changes to our lifestyles to do something about climate change. "One person can't make a difference, right?" "There will always be someone else undoing the good you try to do, won't there?" "And won't it require big laws, not individual action?" I strongly encourage everyone to read this article, especially if you've faced any of these questions. The whole "Green Issue" is excellent and can teach you how to live more sustainably!
(We also link to other noteworthy articles in the "Neat Articles" section of the right sidbar. Take a look, and stay informed on issues around the world.)

Well I read the article. I'm always on the fence line with decisions and opinions, because I can view and see on both sides of these arguments. It does make a difference if you do little stuff to help our environment. Just because only a few people do it and the rest trash it, others begin to realize that global warming is happening; and the littlest things you do can help make a difference. By advertizing/teaching and letting people know and understand, they will help the place they live in.
I think that every little thing that is done helps. And even though there are those "evil twins" out there, those few people can still make a difference because they aren't adding to the problem.
It's kinda like a huge puzzle, at first it seems like you can just leave out a few pieces and it won't make any difference. But every piece, no matter the size, needs to be there to complete the puzzle. There will always be those who want to tear out pieces of that puzzle, yet it can only be finished if people continue to work at it, even if each person can only put in one piece.
doing the little things in life is what makes the big difference. like when mr. Keller saves his money instead of going to starbucks, it may only seem like a very little amount of money now. but in the end it all adds up. so if the people in this world helped with all the little things, then it might make our world a better place. casey peterson
It's just like saving heartbeats for your life. When you have a healthy heart and you save your heartbeats, you get to live longer right? Well, same thing. If we save our plastic, paper, aluminum, and other man made products, we will save a planet. Then, our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc..., our generations will live longer. There will be an earth for them to live on.
i have no read articals but i bet its good like Mr.Keller says. Its ushaly true that we can actually save the invorement around us.
