Well, I've been starting to recycle ever since. Some easy tips for people to help (and guess what? It's barely even hard to do!):
Tip #1: Go recycle at school or start an election thing with bottles, cans, metal, and paper!Tip #2: Try taking a 1-5 minutes shower in cold water! You don't need hot water to wipe off the bacteria and stuff, all you need to do is scrub really good. Besides, the good part is it saves your water bill, saves water, and makes your hair softer!Tip #3: Ask your parents or guardians if you can change at least some of your lightbulbs to florescent. (ppssstt, if they say no, I'd usually write a persuasive essay haha!)Tip #4: Instead of riding with your mom or dad everyday to work or something, try riding the bus, walking, or carpooling. Or if a store is near you or the park, etc. you can take a nice jog or something.Tip #5: Don't use all lights at once! Try turning things off once in awhile, especially at day!Tip #6: If you want wind on a windy day, then just open all windows. If it doesn't help, then you can try turning on at least 1 fan.Tip #7: Plant, plant, plant those flowers or trees or anything!Hopefully, everyone does this and if you have any questions, go to my page and I'll try and answer them!

I haven't really done all these, but I'm putting it up because I saw it in magazines and everything. Alot of people have helped too! Like the people in TFK for example!
Here are some places to go to to find out more!

dA has gone to great lengths in their policy to distinguish between artistic nudes and pornography, and explain why one was allowed when the other wasn't. The hypocrisy of then lumping them together in one category of censorship is mind-boggling, especially in what one would consider to be an open-minded, expressive, and reasonable atmosphere.
I saw no problem with leaving the viewing of mature content as an option. If some poor 10-year-old's mouse somehow slips and clicks on "Allow Anyway," and they don't have the reflex to exit or stop the download, well, there ya go kid. Boobies. Can you sense that shattering demolition of innocence?
No, me neither.

I'm just wondering what happens when someone who's fifteen has a piece of art in THEIR gallery that has the mature filter on it. I assume they can't see their own art or have no option but to take it down?

Anyways, until they set up the different ratings and categories of the filter, I'm opposed to this ban too.

The mature content was ALWAYS going to be this way. $lolly and $realitysquared have posted journals about it to clarify what you don't already know.

There are rules for under age people for a reason. deviantART is no different.
At the age of fifteen you have experienced far worse language than that which you would find anywhere on deviantART.
Oh, really? Do your parents swear at you or something? If my 15 year old cousin swore around me, I'd slap her and inform her such words are innapropriate and do not "make her seem cool". It's calling proper parenting.
At the age of fifteen you are exposed to FAR more horrifying things.
I highly doubt that. Unless you yourself have, let's say, witnessed a car accident or murder, I fail to see what "horrifying" things you have seen.
There is nothing on this site that is unsuitable for a fifteen year old
The closeup shots of sex organs would be one. Hence why minors are not allowed to buy adult magazines. Such images are innapropriate for kids.

The FAQ is your friend, use it instead of wasting thread space in the forums.
And by exposed I didn't necessarily mean I have SEEN far more horrifying things - although I would consider some of the violence against friends of mine I've witnessed much worse than nudity.
I'm meaning things like rape, pedophilia and torture - isn't even knowing about this things is more horrible than knowing what a penis looks like?
And why are these images inappropriate for someone my age? In Britain, where I live, our movies are rated: U (universal), PG (Parental Guidance), 12A (12 and over, otherwise accompanied by an adult), 15 (15 and over) and 18 (18 and over). So in Britain it's legal for me to view content in movies rated 15 and there is nothing you would find in a movie rated 15 that you wouldn't find on dA. So in my country I am deemed mature enough to view this material so why is it so on dA?
Perhaps it should be taken into consideration that there are other people from other countries with different laws on deviantART because I don't exactly see why I should be stopped viewing images just because it's 'illegal' or whatever somewhere else.
