Ever hear of the EPA Act? Do you know how many billions of dollars are spent every year in the USA alone to comply with the laws from the EPA?
If that is not taking the correct measures, I do not know what you want. If you want zero discharge, then I suggest that you reconsider how you are living your life.
Do you have a cell phone? it pollutes
Do you eat food? The process of raising food, bringing it to market, cooking and eating yields pollution.
Do you poop on the toilet? Have you considered what happens to your poop? It goes to a sewer treatment plant where (gasp) pollution occurs.
The government is doing plenty. You should research your questions a bit better before swalling the gullible lies of the environmental wackos.
Or, you should dig an outhouse in your back yard, drink nothing but untreated well water and grow your own food living in a shack no bigger than the one the UniBomber lived in.

What is the "correct" measure? Which sort of pollution? We banned PCBs, CFCs, tetraethyl lead, and nuclear plant construction was brought to a standstill. Mercury is being phased out as a consumer commodity. But the people need energy, so fossil fuel fired plants took up the slack from nuclear. Now you don't like that, and want green. Green can't supply enough power, though. And what about the birds the windmills chop up? Tell me how green that is. I wish I had a quarter for every "environmentalist" that has told me they couldn't do without their pickup, van, SUV or luxury car.

Cool Babes ... preventing ALL toxins may recommend we may ought to stay like the Amish (see my link below). through the way, i'm on no account announcing that to positioned-down/disparage the Amish way of existence. yet maximum human beings do not comprehend the thanks to stay that way and many may flat refuse to. some may say, "yet my automobile has the most intense-tech toxins controls. It would not pollute." Or they could say, "nicely, I recycle all my trash and that i do not pollute both." nicely, imagine of each and every of the flame and warm temperature that develop into required to soften, structure, and convey each and each and every of the factors an automobile makes use of ... or each and each and every of the means required to produce and perform the trains and the trucks that transported those automobiles to the dealerships the position they're bought. virtually each and every thing we do pollutes, except you provide up your way of existence and settle on to keep on with the conservative Amish sects. i imagine the point could no longer inevitably be to get rid of all toxins. Even in a so-called "perfect international," this seems no longer a possibility to achieve. although, with any luck mankind will detect strategies to lessen the use and waste of means. As for each and each and every of the waste we produce, extra recycling is critical. And ultimately, mom nature has many equipped-in strategies in which the waste/toxins that guy produces might want to be processed in organic strategies and altered lower back to an invaluable or non-poisonous state. although, I truly worry that with better than six billion human beings interior the international, we are generating waste and toxins a lot, a lot swifter than nature can procedure it. i wish i have replied your question, Babes.
