In all honesty if I really thought that I had a chance at getting beachfront property (I live well over 100 miles from the Atlantic) simply by throwing my empty worn out cardboard boxes in the regular trash instead or the recycling bin ... I'd do it in a heartbeat, sell to the first decent bidder, and move like lightning to the highest mountains I can find cause we'd all be in serious trouble.
I've also heard that methane and other gasses cause tons of CO2 issues, and wondered if we could fix it by stopping with all of this vegetable eating, and just eat all of the animals that we can as fast as we can. While it may not be a good long-term solution, can you imagine how awesome it would be "saving the planet" by eating steak, with a side of chicken and bbq instead of veggies/beans, and whatnot cause "you care"
