I’ve heard all aerosol cans are CFC free today, but can using regular cans, such as spray on deodorant still be bad for the environment?
Thanks.

Energy efficiency has never been more important. But does the average consumer know how to reduce his or her energy use and bring energy expenditures down? Johnson Controls, the global, multi-industrial leader in energy efficiency, took to the streets of Chicago recently to see how much people really knew about this important issue. The results are surprising. How do you think your city would compare? By reducing energy use in homes, cars and workplaces, we can save money as well as harmful carbon emissions. For more information on how to be more efficient right now, visit the Johnson Controls Efficiency Now Web site: www.johnsoncontrols.com/efficiencynow.

are we adding to our carbon footprint?

when we are driving for someone else? eg works vehicles not our own

I want to do like a ticking time bomb in the background to symbolise that it is just a matter of time before the world ends.
we have to have things that symbolise our "social and political message" and my message is that we cant keep taking advantage of the environment. also i was thinking of having one of those world beachballs and kicking it around and stuff. Any other ideas for symbolism or even anything to put in the drama?

Lester R. Brown speaking on Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization to the Chemical Society of Washington, DC on May 8, 2008.

The London Daily Mail featured a story about Toni Vernelli that aborted her pregnancy and had herself sterilized so that she and her husband could remain carbon neutral when they take long airplane trips.
That is a responsible position for a true dedicated environmentalist to take.
Sarah Irving and fiance Mark Hudson decided to have a vasecotmy to prevent the possibility of an inconvenient life interfering with their carbon perfect ones.
These people need world wide recognition for their stance for the earth.
I hope many others would will see the truth in this and do the same.
I myself not only had a vasectomy but I am designing a fart collector for my steers to wear so as not to pollute the atmosphers

Greenhouse gases (GHG) trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere and the major cause of global warming is the emission of green house gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide etc into the atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide is the most prominent Greenhouse gas in Earth’s atmosphere. We are all responsible for adding Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere, just by using energy for doing everyday things such as driving our cars, heating our homes, flying to a holiday destination, watching TV to reading with the lights on and beyond. However, energy supply is finite and we must reduce and replenish what we use if we expect to keep our planet healthy for centuries to come. That’s where carbon offsetting comes into play. Carbon offsets are becoming an increasingly popular way for individuals and businesses to participate in solutions to global warming.

What would happen humans didn’t do anything to help the environment? Write 50 words about what you think this planet would look like in 50 years if we completely stopped caring about the environment. Your words don’t have to be in complete sentences. This is just a BRAINSTORM.
