As long as I have enough money and life left to enjoy TV, I intend to stay happy. I have a brother-in-law who stays irritated and upset about things like this. I let him do all the worrying for me.

Dern' tootin' it about money!
Even though this is the warmest decade in recent history, there is so much uncertainty as to why.
We are with you! As free-enterprise-loving, small-business-owning patriotic capitalists who have worked hard (and are still at it) for nearly half a century, we want to live well AND aren't about to sacrifice our hard- and smart-earned savings.
Now this doesn't mean we can't at least pat, if not hug, a tree along the way if it's not out of our way.
We've got a nice assortment of mature ones outside our doors up north and lakeside in TV. Like most of the nature around you, trees are a gift from nature. No need to scorn those tree lovers.
It's about money?
Yes, we love it - people notice our broad grins as we pedal our bikes to the banks. We even own a little stock in some of them. This gives meaning to 'laughing all the way to the bank'
Whether one is a Climate Change believer or skeptic matters little when it comes to being for conservation and against waste and pollution. Green means your surroundings - and there's little doubt that while the cosmos might not be affected, the earth beneath your feet sure knows who's been naughty or nice- and if any of the nasty might not be evident to you now, it might rear its head when the grandkids are your age.
We've been living the win-win and saving huge.
The electric meter runs in reverse, (like having SECO, PEPCO, BG&E, and Allegany Power pay US!!)the line-dried clothing is fresher,and a decade of having three family hybrids with 340,000 maintenance-free 50mpg miles - we're talking enough savings to pamper the most spoiled among us for life.
And how much more fun can you while staying fit than taking a bike ride through the beautiful Villages, being able to wave at your friends and neighbors, and making new ones?
See someone you want to talk to? Pull off the path, put down the foot.
Hungry? pedal right up to the door of your eatery.
Being a friend of your natural environment is here, now, and the rewards are aesthetic, healthy, and monetary - it's by no means a deprivation, even for all those that "wanna stay happy"
Because we've simplified and saved so much 'going eco' we've got some additional capacity to do volunteer work and help takle the worry away from others. So if the brother-in-law reaches capacity, we'll take some from him, too!
