I went to the fridge, picked a beer.. then I threw it into the paper garbage can. I'll die because of this? Right? God will punish me... oh right, God does not exist. You'll flame me for this? Right? Right!

Taking baths doesn't really make you cleanliness. Though i suppose that's a french thing..
Anywho.
Anyone that thinks conserving electricity or anything like this at all will save the earth or even help a little, is wrong. It may prologue the earth's survival by a minute or two, maybe.. But the only REAL solution to saving the earth is to stop populating the earth. Right now we're increasingly populating the earth at a rate that's gonna be reeaaalllyyy regretful later on. If we stop now we might have a chance.
EDIT: Also, Dancing Lady, showers aren't a good way to conserve water whether it be hot or cold. I think the ratio is like 1 minute / 16 gallons. Though i could be wrong.

Humans are mating like rabbits. You cannot stop them. Maybe you can stop them by killing them all with nuclear warheads. I still think that in 2046, there won't be anymore place to live on Earth, the situation will become unstable, we will need a colony on Mars to send the third world, to please the needs of the rich people.

In the mid 2020's freshwater depletion will begin to be noticeable. In the mid 1230's Africa will experience complete water shortages. Then? Jeez, i don't even wana say. Heh.. 2046.. sure aubrey, sure.
That is, unless we stop over population and begin filtering salt water like mad.
No need to panic. Once we start running low on fresh-water, more and more money will be invested into purifying Salt Water. Though... I worry for less developed nations.
Have no fear, however, in those years, the generation that was raised on consumption, consumption, consumption will start entering retirement, and more "green" people will enter the workplace...

Yes, lets turn off a huge number of rather demanding electronic devices throughout the world.
Then utterly batter the electrical grid by switching them all on again at the same time!
Just think of all the lovely amount of time, money and waste produced by having to repair any surge damages and how much extra powerplants suddenly have to pump up. It has some proper effects.
