The logging thing is only the tip of the iceberg, Ten. There's a lot worse stuff, too. Although logging the rainforest is pretty horrible. Although I know I can't say that without sounding like a hypocrite, because I know that I survive partially off of things from the rainforest. All my life I've hated being so helpless - so needing to be dependent on what other people do, yet knowing it's how I live. I want to be the one who decides how much energy I use and what I eat no matter if it's pricey (because it's organic/vegetarian). I hate that I can't control what benefits me by spoiling the environment.
Sorry about the mini-rant. >.>
On a side note, I hate gelatin, even before I learned it was made of hooves, which was back in seventh grade.
Money is part of the root of all evil. Greed is another part, but essentially it's just a component in the much larger part of human nature, which sucks to the ninth degree.
The other part is politicans who do extremely vile things and who spread evil lies. They're few, but I know they're out there. Why else do some people not care about polluting the environment?
As for the chickens, ;____________________________________________; I too try and make my mom buy free-range eggs when I go shopping with her.

My father and sister buy meat, they love it. Though my mom tries to buy meat from free-range chickens and "organic" meat, I still discourage them to do it at all.

Yay! *dances in the circle*
"Why else do some people not care about polluting the environment?" 1. They don't have children and think the world won't be screwed up until after they're dead 2. They're ignorant 3. They're buttholes

...those sound like real reason. I can think of two others: denial and lack of education.

Sometimes they don't have any other feasible economic options. Add that reason.
On a different note, we bought no cage brown eggs today. I don't know if/how that's different from free range, but it sounds better than nothing.
