I'm not shutting up about oil overconsumption
Edited on Tue Apr-05-05 05:27 PM by imenja
Even if people don't like it, and my threads get banished to the Meeting room. Consider this an official notice. I believe environmental conservation to be a central human rights and political issue, so I'm not shutting up.

1. Good
It IS a very large issue, especially in the land of Stuffmart and ubermarketing.

9. rather they don't think it's THEIR problem
or that they bear any responsibility for helping alleviate that in their daily lives.

I agree. I think environmental awareness and conservation are very important.

5. the outer rings of hell?
I thought the lounge was the last stop for unwanted threads. I didn't know there was yet another level of banishment. I posted a an inquiry in ATA.

6. Perhaps GD?
I do think this might be a bit to heavy for the lounge. I was surprised they moved it to the Meeting Room as well. I would have thought GD for a big forum, or Environment and Energy.

7. yeah, I think you're right about that
I'll post such threads elsewhere in the future. GD is a good place. The specialty forums get overlooked too easily. Except for religion and theology of course ..... duck for cover there.
