You don't have to be an environmentalist.

    I drive a fuel efficient car, take public transportation to and from work, run around turning off lights, recycle, try not to waste food, and never litter...but I don't consider myself an environmentalist. I don't know why, really. I guess in my head I see the image of an environmentalist as being someone much more dedicated to the cause than I, despite being rather dedicated myself.

    i could not give two shits what people think of me if i accept the label of being into the environment. i am a environmentalist as that is the title from a school of thought & way of life. i go beyond the norm to practice what i do. i pick up others' garbage at the park, woods, lakes or parking lots; cigarette butts piss me the fuck off.
    i recycle my neighbors' plastic bullshit. i could do better i can tell you that

    i honestly feel if you are against earth first you should be hung, drawn & quartered. if only i had some authority

    cigarette butt littering fuckers would be fined & if tossed down cigarette butts a 2nd time around, jailed & physically slapped around

    start researching the great pacific garbage patch if you want to puke, cry & throttle people. it will take a very long time for the oceans to clean themselves but it can happen, but it won't ever happen if people keep on keeping on with plastics & other bullshit materials. yes i know tsunamis sweep/suck out entire villages, houses & cars floating thousands of miles across the way

    deforestation drives me out of my mind. i feel most humans are carefree & do not give a fuck about this planet. a great number of these kinds of people run governments.

    I agree, I walk my dog every night and I live in the country. I carry a bag with me and pick up garbage all the time. There is also a park right by me and I walk my dog there too. It is full of trash, it pisses me off so bad. When I am with my husband walking, I get on my soapbox about it. He always tells me to calm down, but littering is just total laziness and uncalled for. I love nature, I have an extremely stressful job and when I get home, I immediately surround myself in nature, my own beautiful backyard, walking etc. It brings me such serenity, so when I see it polluted, I wig out!!! Also, I have those aluminum water bottles that I drink out of everyday and wash and reuse. All this plastic is destroying the oceans.
