Environmental laws being attacked with unseen fury, let us fight in support of them with even more furious resolve!

As i read the papers over the last weeks i have observed a very strong trend in both US and European Governments to begin to scrap or just neuter almost every environmental protection law on the books.

Laws that have been working to maintain drinking water quality, air quality, river and forest land integrity are being attacked in the name of not wanting to put undo stress on businesses in this time of economic malaise. How short sighted can we be?

We are willing to allow our leaders to discuss the dismantling of over 30 years of environmental protections? I hope we make these Republican politicians pay a price with their jobs for attacking the planet and its ability to clean itself from the mess we make.

Our natural lands and quality of air and water need to be protected even more today, not less. Please lets keep the pressure up to make sure that the budget cuts don't undercut the most important things, protecting the integrity and cleanliness and longevity of our natural forests and parks.

The Time is Now

As the leaders of the world and coping the need to discuss the global climate accord and the potential to have one, we certainly stand at a fork in the roads. So many people that are finally realizing that we need to take responsibility for what's happening in the carbon and climate related issue and how absolutely devastating it really is going to be when the time has come. Most of us are probably, including myself, much more willing to talk than we are to act. This is something that has to change, we need to take serious responsibility and serious initiative and bold action and we need to give our politicians a reason to do that. A famous story where an aid to the president or a lobbyist to the president explain people's will that changes happen and the convince the president and finally comes to, "You know what, I agree with you. Now go out there and make me do it." So, it's up to us to speak our voice and to explain that we want a binding climate accord out of this meeting. We don't have another three years to debate this stuff, we don't have any more time. Time has come already and we need to have accomplished this ten years ago. We can't wait another ten years, we got to do everything in our power to step up and embrace all of the different ways of creating energy that are not going to produce more and more carbons to the environment and in some cases, hopefully, to draw it out to the planting more trees, and the sustaining of the forest and the preservation of the rain forest. We need to work hard, we need to start working hard now, we need to draw support to what is need in coping these days to support a binding climate accord.

Bambu and Hemp for the EARTH

We need to begin addressing these fairly large situations regarding our planet. We need to invest heavily in production of Bambu for building materials and hemp for plastics, cloths, and oil. These two things alone would have a radical effect and would mitigate several problems.

Bambu, a fast growing renewable resource, can replace all wood in construction, reducing deforestation and wildlife habitat loss. Hemp is a fast growing weed, and as an industrial plant, one that was widely used during the early part of our nation, can almost single handedly take the burden of many products onto itself. These are very toxic oil based products that could be made much friendlier.

If we are serious about change we need our government to prioritize things that can become solutions over theoretical jargin. I will be emailing this to president Obama, why don't you do the same!
