Yes, I think the environment needs to be cleaned up. Might I add that my state is doing alot of things strangely similar to what Ruth's state is doing. Funny how that works ; )

I cannot figure out why people believe that we are not cleaning up our environment to give you people an illustration, I live in NYC in the 60's when they had pollution day alert warning most of the elderly not to go out that day, the Hudson river was a cesspool.
I went back to visit in 2004 the view from the top of the Empire State building was crystal clear in the 60's you could not even see the street below, people are fishing in the Hudson river. For all you alarmist the constant cry about not cleaning up our environment is patently false, if you want to say "not enough" that is what needs to be debated.

I can remember when roadside dumping was as common as roadside convenience stores. When the county dumps got full of waste that at that time wasn't managed by bulldozing or anything it simply got moved to another location. People that didn't want to drive all the way to the county dump just dumped their trash beside the road in a ditch and more people just followed along. They even dumped old cars at these sites so we have come a long way but we still have more to go. Our biggest problem now is toxic waste.

We should all be environmentally conscious. Personally I try to do my part. I do not litter. I recycle. I don't drive when I can walk and my wife and I carpool to work. I turn off lights and appliances when I am not using them and engage in various other environmentally friendly efforts. If everyone does even a little the effects can be dramatic. However, I am sick of being painted as environmentally evil by many just because I do not choose to believe an as yet unproved theory.

"...and the student declaring that regardless if GW is real we would want to continuously act on it" So this newborn advocates doing something with none idea no matter if is the right concern to do or if that is going to do damage. I foresee a destiny interest with a paper hat and a recognition tag, that or college on the community community college poly-sci branch. The earth is going by ability of cycles of warm temperature and cool. over the in basic terms right few million years chilly has been the dominant topic. The earth has lengthy gone by ability of various ice a lengthy time period each lasting about one hundred,000 years, interrupted by technique of warm temperature sessions each about 10,000 years or so in length. The very last warming began about 12,000 years in the past. If there is something to concern that is that summer season is coming to an end. shall we close down our industries, construct huge dikes round our cities, retreat inland and north, in common words to ought to restart those industries, dig canals to a receding ocean, and flee advancing ice sheets. the international warministas declare to have some magic by technique of which they could divine the elements a century out, a feat the nationwide climate provider can't even do a month out. tell them to positioned their funds the position there mouth is. %. out 20 cities international and function them grant you with low, intense, and universal iciness and summer season predictions for the subsequent two decades. they could't do it.

Absolutely. I cannot understand why that would not be part of everyone's commitment for the privilege of enjoying life on Earth; sort of like wiping yourself after using the bathroom. Second nature.
People who are seriously into outdoor recreation (hey, all you sportsmen out there!!) like myself (canoeist) understand intimately the idea of leaving no tracks; of cleaning up behind yourself. Whenever we're on a journey, we always manage to fill up the extra garbage bag with refuse left behind by people with no conscience.
Start with little things if you have to, like riding a bike for that loaf of bread or errand instead of driving the car.

Sure. I have always said we need to clean the environment, even though I think it will do nothing to stop global warming.
The problem is, the guys like Al Gore put cleaning the environment in the same category as global warming. After this, the people who don't agree with the global warming theory feel they have to go out of their way to further destroy the environment, as sort of a protest.
The media should say what YOU just said, instead of preaching about global warming all day.

I agree and our environmental policies shouldn't be political fodder..and political favor.....There are so many beautiful things that are being lost...But I do remember as a child all the streams had soap bubbles...and tires...some things are better but there is so much more industry now.

I don't know what's going on in your neck of the woods, but that's been going on for at least 10 years, around here.
Super-site cleanup is a major priority in the town in which I live. Oh, and I live in a "red-state."
I'll add this: Our former mayor, who master-minded our cleanup was just sent to Congress (Bob Corker), in case anyone cares.
