Other - Environment

My family has a camp on a small lake. The water is spring feed and very clean. Growing up we never had any problems with leeches. For 26 years I had never even seen one while swimming. However within the last three years we have been finding them and a few family members have even got them on their bodies. If you have any fixes for the problem (that wouldn't hurt other wildlife in the lake) or any ideas why suddenly we are developing the problem I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

So, our place is cool but when that air conditioner comes on, it startles me, I jump, and wake up. Sooooooooooooooooo thankful for the cool air and am not complaining. Which bothers your sleep more and is there anything you do to solve the problem?

If we are taking so much out from our Earth what would really happen if one day it just topped producing it?

We have 6 llamas and some chickens in our backyard, and I recently heard that there is a mountain lion roaming around the area. I have to let the animals out in the day and put them back in at night, and I'm so scared that the mountain lion will attack. Also, we have pet cats and I'm afraid if I let them out, something will happen. So what do you think? And is there anything I should do to protect myself and my cats??

This action follows heavy lobbying by mine owners, property developers and mass agricultural groups like ADM. It also goes against a prior Supreme Court ruling.

Should these new rules regarding wetland protection be tossed out or eliminated? Are wetlands still vitally important?

I never see advertisments for motorbikes on television, and all I see is advertisments for cars. Motorbikes are more dangerous, but mainly because there are too many car drivers around that are ignorant of motorcylists. Why don't I see enough variety of sensible commuter bikes being advertised to the general public? All the hype is around little scooters, cruisers, and sportbikes. What about just general purpose motorcycles for everyday transport?

I'm traveling to Europe this summer with my husband, and I'm interested in offsetting the carbon footprint of our flight (not everybody on the plane, just us, I'm not Bill Gates....). How many trees should I plant to offset the trip, and where is a reliable website to do so?

For example, on a daily basis I see huge SUVs, huge trucks and what not, being driven by ONE person. Forget the fact the person usually can't drive or park the enormous vehicle, but they have no passengers in their gas guzzling car! I feel there should be a law or something that enforces either carpooling, or helps persuade people to buy more fuel efficient cars. I'm not saying those large vehicles shouldn't be bought period. I'm just saying that if someone has one for whatever reason, they at least use it for THAT reason and that reason only. Say, a large truck for a farm. Well, you don't need to drive that truck to get some McDonalds. Ok? A huge suburban. Ok mom, you don't have to drive that huge car to get your nails done. I get that some people can't afford more than one car, but if you can afford to pay the gas for one of those monsters, i think you could afford to pay for a small gas conserving car to use as your point A and B car. What do you guys think?

Due to our past habit of burying all our rubbish including electronic kit, there must be a lot of minerals/metals in landfill sites. Are the amounts worth mining? Do they compare with the tons of rock that needs shifting to get at gold or other precious metals. Would it be worth buying up old landfill sites for when the supply of gold or our metals run out?
