I read some articles about the environmental issues, but not one on this site.
I found an interesting posting that was written by a professor of Tokyo Univ.
In it he claimed that it was doubtful about the capability of the solar panels for carbon diet. It means that the energy that is made by the panels can’t compensate for the discharging of carbon dioxide by the companies that produce the panels.
This isn’t my idea, but will they attack me again?
If they are afraid of arguments, they shouldn’t post any articles.
I’d like them to show how much did the reduce carbon dioxide by their activities concretly.
I understand the young people like participation, and they eager to change the world.
They will be pleased if someone said they are efficient. they want respects and successes. It is good to enthuse the youth. However I’d like them to have tolerance and gentleness more than other things.
Can they work without any praises? Will helping the people provide only pleasures?
One writer remarked that I didn’t like the celebrities. I think they don’t them neither. They seem to want to win their success.
They aren’t similar to “The Knight Foundation”. “The Knight Rider” always helped the people secretly.
When they use the youth I’d like them to have responsibilities.
I am still suffering from what a man said. Also my family is.
If they have the right judgment, why did they want to destroy their opponents?

I waitad for his honest apology, but he just excused himself.
It didn’t disappointed me, but I expected it.
I know a lot of people like him.
I guess that he has an education but is too young to admit his mistake.
In his mind I am a nit-picker. Surely he wants to defeat me hastily.
May I think that he is unfair?
Whose success did he mention?
It is required by only the celebrities and the organizations.
The earth doesn’t need any victories of human being. we belong to our environment, but the nature doesn’t belong to us.
I think that anybody won’t an expert of the environment if they pay a lot of money.
I don’t like the way that someone entertains the people and let them focus on his idea. He also gives them a strong confedence that they persist without questions.
I wonder how many people will be inspired by such a celemony actually.
Kindly one of my friends reccomended me to read Rechal Carson’s writings if I was interested in the ecology.
Also I know what the Mayor of London introduced a new rule, and what The Governor of Tokyo has a plan for the environment.
We should learn from the various things and are enlighted by many theories.
Eventually this ceremony will take place.
I am disappoimted because my personal belief was that Edward Norton was more sensible and more humbler.

No. You see, I care about the environment too. I wont apologize for calling you a moron because a moron is “a person lacking in good judgement.” If you care about the environment, why are you attacking this success and triumph. You don’t like publicity and think all humans should be humble, fine, think that, that isn’t why I’m calling you a moron. I’m calling you a moron because you are slowing the movement you say you care about. A celebrity does a charitable thing, and then people see activists complaining about how they went about doing it, not seeing the greater good. That is poor judgement and ergo moronic.

Frankly I write, I suffer from calling “MORON”.
I want him to apologize me.
Why did he attack me, if I dislike his favorite
thing?
Is that just his idea? Or all of organization
don’t accept the opponent?
Are they waiting for my surrender about this
topic?
I showed this site to many friends and
acquaintqnces. Nobody agreeded with the
celebrities activities. I guarantee they aren’t
morons, and some of them are interested in the
environmental issues. It is an illusion that
all of people love the celebrities.
My suggestion is that poor people can’t
discharge carbon dioxide so much.
Actual problem was caused by the rich people
like Hollywood Stars.
I won’t support their self-congratulated and
self-indulgent events.
I think it is dangerous to persist one way.
If the organization considers something, I’d
like them to quit that way.
I don’t want my children to be educated by
the arrogant celebrities.

I think, Yoshiko, your being a moron. This actor, who is looked up to by millions, made a donation that millions will see and hear about. It will have the simple effect of throwing more support to the environmental cause. This is good. Do you not like actors? Do you think we should have TV programs constantly debating and educating the masses? That’s fine, many people want that. But, despite how grave a situation we both know this is and therefore know equally that quick and substantial change in needed, change is going to only happen in baby steps like this. Again, this is a good thing overall. Quit whining-

I am very surprised that someone replied me personally.
I don’t think anybody should refer to writers’ personarlity.
I don’t expect to know where Michael is coming from, but I guess who he or she is.
I felt she wanted to protect the organization, and she didn’t want me to write more. Do I have a right that I can leave my opinion on website freely?
I don’t think I am only person who dislikes the celebrities arrogance.
They spend a lot of money for their luxurios lifes. If they want to buy people’s respects to them, I won’t support.
The most important thing is that the most of celebrities are the amateurs about the environmental issues.
Even Edward Norton is one of them, though I know him very well, and he has huge knowledge of that issues.
I guess Micheal knows the details of the above ceremoniy. They have to accept the various opinions, if they are opposite to them.
Eventually Edward Norton causes my feeling.
I don’t hope that he and his colleagues want only the tributes.
