It’s clear that CO2 is causing global warming. The question is whether that warming is harmful and if our human kind can get through such warming. Perhaps warming is good. We don’t know.
I do it not because I fervently believe in the science. I do it because it doesn’t cost me a whole lot; and, yes, because it makes me feel good.
I’m not a software developer but, true, I’m a compulsive organizer and I want my house to always be spic-and-span clean. I have a dog and I bathe him twice a week and I change his bedding every day.
I think that if we can avoid building a new power plant, landfill, refinery or gas station thanks to conservation, then we’re all the better off. If anything, we have a more beautiful environment to enjoy. What’s the harm in putting a little bit of effort into it?
Maybe I’m judgmental, but when I go to someone’s house that’s messy, I think to myself “if only they’d clean up after themselves.” Pollution is like clutter/trash. We need to pick it up after we’re done with it.
