      It wasn't a great way to get ppl to support your cause at the same time it is a bunch of rocks, the earth is made of the same rock it's all roughly 4billion years old, you could go to a random field somewhere dig down a metre and find rocks that have been in that location for a similar length of time. It's not worth clutching pearls over. I can't see corn starch really doing much that decades of acid rain won't do. The stones have survived two world wars and the industrial revolution.

      You are ignorant if you believe that. If you want energy change then build nuclear reactors. It is the cleanest and best form of energy. If you dont want that you have to use natural gas. Renewables are not possible for the region and area you live in. We have to be practical and realistic. Also no one talks about petro products which require oil not just energy but plastics, electronics, and everything relies on it. Bio alternatives are not there yet, may take 100 years to reach same level.

      I'm gonna try keep a long story very short, my sister took over a truck company and managed to change it from the ground up. It already was a fairly successful business but she also managed to change the direction and focus on more sustainable alternatives. If she were out protesting she wouldn't have time to do those changes... and the previous boss probably wouldn't invest in more sustainable alternatives. I'm not saying protesting is moot or worthless, but these kind of groups are out protesting ordinary people who can do extremely minor impacts... wasting money, efforts, tax-revenue etc. which could be placed elsewhere. Politics is a business and they could probably get more done becoming proper lobbyists. Putting some money in the right pockets go a very long way these days.

    Both my late wife and I were born in the 1940s, and we agreed, without much discussion, that we did not want children. I can't speak for her, but I seem to lack the gene for parenthood. At my age the friends who gush over children are now mostly grandparents and great-grandparents, but it just seems odd to me on a personal level. Odd in a way that their having some sort of obscure hobby or activity doesn't result in my feeling otherness about it but this desire for progeny does. On the marriage issue, we were both incredible romantics about it. When I proposed after our being in a relationship for three years, two of which we were living together, her response was "why?" I replied that taxes would be less and I could put her on my work health insurance policy, something which is quite important in the U.S. On that basis she agreed it made sense.

    RE: how much impact does storing emails have on the environment? Sensible useful answer is a lot less than it was on paper forms of storage. It's one of the greatest successes of the digital world. Imagine finding a tree, cutting it down, turning it into paper etc.. I used to work for the government in a massive information retrieval centre in the 90s. staffed by hundreds of people with its own power systems to keep everyone warm and comfortable and to look after the quality of the paper humidity wise. Everybody's information that's now all held on a tiny hard drive that does nothing unless you access it. Almost Zero energy unless you access it. If you accessed a government file back then you have to pay someone to go into the information retrieval centre staffed by hundreds of people and they would physically go and look for it and pass it to somebody that'll get past to somebody else and so on until you could meet at some point in the High Street in a government office and talk about it. It's unbelievable how effective the digital world has been at reducing waste and wasted energy in this respect.. I don't know how you would even begin to measure it, but yes, it's clearly better. Think about it.. maybe you have to have worked in one of these places to realise. Just how ridiculous waste can be compared to the extraordinary technology we take for granted now.. Just imagine before the '90s if you wanted to learn something how you had to go to the library. How slow learning was back then. It's an exponential curve.

    On the Birth Rate we need to help young couples start families. People want more children but can't afford them.
    Helping this would actually alleviate some of the issues that people have with immigration.
    This means scrapping child benefit cap.

    Laws against vandalism, and defacing property should not be based on the material used to deface them. The act is the violation, not the substance used. The substance could be used in mitigation, so maybe instead of a jail term, sentence them to 100 hours community service at an oil refinery.

    I do you have regrets about being a parent but that's when I'm at my worst. My most down, my darkest moments , at my high points days I look back at with real pride in myself. Happy days full of extraordinary joy that I had never known before in my life.. I realise what would I have swapped it for? What amazing thing would I have swapped it for ? when you buy things and do things even World travel it can start to feel a bit empty at some point. I have had incredible experiences in my life before I had kids and it took me awhile to adjust to being limited in that respect for a while.. The deeper you get into it, the more incredible and wonderful it gets. Unlike searching out a bigger house or a new thing to buy or the next holiday even . and I have done that. To a level most people would never know. My only regret is how since I had my kids , weeks before brexit that people like farage are willing to throw them in the line of fire and for what ? that's my only downside to it. Thise dark minds on the edge of retirement, not looking forward anymore. Are they? They're looking backwards. They are more than happy to put these beautiful kids that I've spent all this time rearing in the line of fire for their sick ideology. They are the people that bring poison to this world and pain and fear, they thrive on it.

    Not appropriate to talk people around to having children.

    But many are making an economic decision. For those people, we can fix the systemic issues holding them back and you won't need to talk them around.
    Finally, you said 23 yr olds can't know for sure, but I'm going to call you out on that. There's a lot of misogyny wrapped up in this, especially as it intersects with health care.
