Of course... I drive a car, take dumps, and produce trash which needs to be disposed of weekly.

I can't see how anyone could truly say they absolutely 100%do not pollute, at least indirectly. At the very least, producing the electricity that powers our computers is generating a good-sized chunk of funky-smelling gas. I'd guess that building the majority of our basses involved some sort of ozone layer abuse. Do you drive to your gig/practice/GC in anything other than a bicycle or the Flintstonemobile?

Edit: Of course, I voted yes, Not proudly, but honestly. To the two(so far)that voted no, I don't believe you.

Of course, just living causes pollution.

It's the only way to live. Not saying we can all go willy-nilly poluting, but most neccessities cause polution.

I polute when it's unavoidable, but when it's in my control I tend not too, unless I've got a good fart to share.

FYI, everytime you fart, you release green house gases. So if you wanna go green, put a cork in it.

Of course, but it's really just perspective.

The first, and probably worst case of dumping toxic chemicals into the atmosphere happened 2.2 billion years ago when the very first micro-plants started photo-synthesising. They dumped tons of Oxygen into the atmostphere, reducing the proportion of green house gasses, and wiping out millions of species who couldn't survive in an oxygen rich atmosphere.

Of course NOW reducing CO2 is seen as a GOOD thing because we happen to LIKE oxygen.

Mexican food is the number one contributor of green house gas emissions.

Anyone who says no is lying.

Even farting is pollution and we all do that.

Even hot chicks.


So there.

i try to as much as i can, just to piss off the envirofreaks... sorry, but the now re-named "climate change" is just a natural cycle!

which is why my daily driver is a 66 ford pickup... no cat converters, almost straight through exhaust, and running quite rich!

There could be a sequel to the popular childrens book ' Everyone Poops ' titled
' Everyone Pollutes ', and it would be quite instructive and truthful.

yeah i do. everyone does
right now am playing bass through an amp which runs on electricity. over here i think this electricity is comming from a nuclear power plant which causes nuclear wastes, or a coal power plant which again pollutes or a hydroelectricity system like a dam which again causes damage to the ecological systems blah there is no way out of it. but
yeah if you drive hummer around in your city then its a different scenario
