then why keep posting there is no point in you posting.
if you continue to post i will consider you trying to bait me into doing something that i should other wise do..
Im not baiting you, im not even talking to you, the only reason i replied to your post is because you keep replying to my posts with stuff that makes no sense, and originally I was trying to point out where you were going wrong and pointing you in the right direction.
You responded aggressively and constantly pick at my posts in some lame attempt to prove me wrong.
In fact because your posts make no sense and because you repeat the same old stuff over and over despite me asking questions and countering your arguments, you are baiting me proved by the fact I made a small flame post above, you baited me into it and you got what you wanted.
To be honest I should have just ignored your posts and just been adult about it and im sorry I flamed. |  | |

Join Date: Mar 2008 | I was in Marks and Spencer the other day (high brow) and they were doing a "bag for life" campaign where you get a plastic bag for free and you use it every time you come to M&S.. trying to score brownie points with the enviroment, then a very worrying paradoxial moment occurred when I walked past a worker who was shoving a load of food in this bag, so I asked what they were she said they are goin in the bin, and there was a binbag full of food (not off) they were throwing away..
I thought to myself that the way humanity thinks is so skewed..
they could have easily put this food out in front of the shop and passers by (homeless, the less fortunate) could just take then, but they dont (i'm not having a go at M&S, its the logic the big companies use)..
they are only doin the bag for life campaign to make themselves look good, they dont care about the environment, and they wouldnt put food for people to come get, cos if they had tramps outside their store it would look bad. What a world ay!!! "Save the planet" ?? the planet will be here millions of years after us, "save the people" I say!
nice to rant!

Well like I said, companys are doing something, even if they do use it as a way to get customers. | | | |

What about all the food they are wasting, thats gotta go somewhere, wouldnt it be even better for the environment if the food went into a homeless persons stomach rather than a landfill somwehere!!
Food is biodegradable, meaning it will decompose into the ground. But yeah, there is perfectly good food that is wasted in this world that can go to starving people. | | | |

You see, when you dunp stuff in the ocean, it doesn't stay there, the ocean currents pull it along to places such as Midway, the home of around 2 million Laysan albatorsses, an endangered species whom plastic waste is now poisoning and choking to death.
It's not just albatrosses who are affected, every marine creature is affected by this and many bird species too, such as the seagull, but I feel I owe the albatrosses something for giving me such a cute nickname. (To Delta62 I am "little Albatross".) So I've decided to make some noise and I need to figure out how. So I'm asking you guys to help me in this because they really do need our help.
It can start really simply as well. Most super-markets sell "bags-for-life" and I know that Claire's Accessories sell re-usable shopping bags which come in pouches and this is a good start. We have to wean ourselves off plastic to save them. We also have to spread the word. So, any ideas?

Just a thought have you considered starting a myspace profile? many people have with your concerns and they seem to get a lot of people supporting them! i personally use re-usable bags and all e-cover products and buy organic food etc. yet the truth is that's through personal choice and many people out there just don't give a s**t about the environment  and you'll never get them to change because they're happy living their lives the way that they do.
I only chose a greener lifestyle because i became a member of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society Direct Action Crew, i love the ocean it's where i spend a lot of my time, so i wanted to do something positive to try and protect it and all the living things that depend on it.
If you're passionate about this there are ways you can help and do something positive, but i'd definately reccommend myspace because like minded people will find you. If you do decide to take that route PM me your link and i'll send you a friends request  goodluck with your campaign  | | | |
