It gave me a lot to think about in how I approach environmental issues with my freinds and family especially...as much as I'd like to shame them into action it's much easier to just give them a bit of education. And like Mike S. said above, I'm willing to bet he thinks before grabbing a bottle of water now. Robin MattHurst,

Matthew Nisbet’s article was really interesting. It gave me a lot to think about in how I approach environmental issues with my freinds and family especially…as much as I’d like to shame them into action it’s much easier to just give them a bit of education.

And like Mike S. said above, I’m willing to bet he thinks before grabbing a bottle of water now.

We saw each other throughout the summer but he moved back to London and we said goodbye.

It was a nice summer. He’s a good guy.

Now I get annoyed when I realize decisions are being made based on politics instead of science. It was weird the next time I saw him but we kept talking. Robin Bret,

I started paying better attention to the news reports after the exchange with him and there is definitely a religion to Climate Change. Now I get annoyed when I realize decisions are being made based on politics instead of science.

It was weird the next time I saw him but we kept talking.

I'm not disowning my dad. But I've found that when I became vegetarian and bought a Prius, my friends began ordering vegetarian pizzas to share and not be rude, and my step-mom later bought a Prius (not because of climate, but because she hates OPEC). So your actions can rub off, and your comment to Frenchie will make him think about bottled water. So, did you break up with him?

I have been green for years, but feel the GW facts are dubious. In fact, who cares if someone believes in Global Warming as long as they strive to be environmentally friendly. It's like saying someone can't be a good person without going to church. The goal should be to improve the world, not to force our beliefs on other people. I'm glad you didn't let this issue affect your relationship. It’s normal for some people to want to improve the environment without believing in Global Warming.
