Should we be encouraging Eco-Tourism?

Do the benefits outweigh the costs to the environment?

An excellent example of my question is hairspray products. It was determined that aerosol cans were hurting the ozone layer and so they made plastic pump spray bottles...but yet they never stopped making the aerosol cans. Why? Something was deemed bad for the environment, an acceptable substitute was made to replace it, but instead of replacing it, we now have the either or option. In my opinion this is an extreme waste of our resources. Why have both when we only need one? I know personal preference plays a role here, but when our environment is at stake, I think personal preference should take the back burner. Instead of spending the money to manufacture 2 different bottles of the same product, one in an aerosol can and one in a plastic bottle, would it not be cheaper to put all resources into making ONE plastic bottle? Thus saving on time and labor and making the one product cheaper? This theory goes for all things, not just hair spray...hairspray is just an example...

The best way to prevent the problems of disposal of rubbish is not to create it in the first place.

If our children are to respect the environment, they must form a love of it and a connection to it.

How do we encourage this without them actually contributing to it's destruction?

Imagine the benefits to the environment if we reduced housing needs by three generational living. What are they?

Would the benefits be worth sharing your home with your Mother in Law?

Our vet has just killed our 4 sheep because 2 of them were tested for blue tongue and it was positive. Although the 2 with this infection were ill they were recovering and doing ok. Did he really need to murder the whole family. The parents had the vaccine for Blue tongue but the vet assumed that the strain the babies had was one with no vaccine. The vet also did not wait to see which strain of the virus our sheep had

Does this sound like another BS study to protect interest of big oil. The epa did the same thing with European "zero emmission" car saying they have to bad of polutions to be allowed in the US...even the electric ones.
The EPA seems to be a very corrupt organization.

They talk about cutting down emmissions, but even then the levels are so high that supposedly the ice caps are going to melt within the next hundred years. What then...is there going to be no cold anymore? No winters? Total heat and the world all dried up, most living organisms dying?

Or is this a cyclical thing, something that has happened before and we've survived through it? Would the greenhouse gases then be erased, like starting from scratch?

Do you think we may be able to find a solution that will remove some of the carbon/greenhouse gases from the air?

I am working on a project for my Project Lead The Way (PLTW ) class, which is a form of technology class where you can earn college credit.

For the project each student is required to pick a field of engineering they are interested in.
One of the required components is to ask an environmental engineer a series of questions about their career in this field of engineering.

If you are an environmental engineer interested in letting me ask you the questions please e-mail me at juan5225@yahoo.com

If you know someone who is an environmental engineer who would be willing to answer my questions I would be very grateful if you gave me their e-mail.

Thank You.
