California has considered paying residents to cut their energy use.

i feel when people her free money they think i would do anything the world to get it

People do anything for money. I think that money has turned people greedy. Man kind created the word "economy". Look where we are today. A bad, weak economy. We are losing our own game. People on earth don't realize that money is just paper that we gave a value. We've turned this Earth on it's self. We say we are doing something to help and sometimes we just don't. Parents say "No, you don't need to stat a club." Well the Earth needs our help. Money wouldn't do anything for me. I just want to help the Earth. In the end, we are all poor and gone. What good does money do for you in the end of our lives? It was all for nothing is what.

i wouldnt say this is the best way to get ppl to use less energy , but i MIGHT if it meant free money :)
instead of giving away free money , why not use it to spread awareness about the cause , and encourage ppl to use less energy? huh.

I think it is sad that the only way to motivate some people to save out planet is by giving them a hand-out, but then again, this is what America has s=come to isn't it? I think paying people is a good idea, but only because it would at least help save out planet a little.

We're in a recession, so for some of us money is hard to come by. If everybody acted together and tried to make a change, the world would be a better place. Its start here!!
