It seems like some points are missing in this discussion thread.  To begin
with, could someone please define "ME" for me ???  If it were such a simple
matter of "Us humans" versus the Environment, why did the numerous oil wells
in Kuwait get lit, dumping countless contaminants into the environment.  The
military is, after all, the biggest polluter of all.

That brings me to the second point ... namely that I cannot trust our
government, laws, and institutions to protect our environment, especially
after what was pulled off in the Persion Gulf.  Not to mention that money
gets involved in government environmental policy, thereby throwing the
original purpose way off course.  To get the government to actually DO what
it says it intends to do (without numerous scandals and "black holes" in the
tax budget) is an accomplishment in itself.

Back to the original point ... it is PEOPLE who need to personally see the
need to preserve our Planet, and that can take a different form in every
individual.  It is from that point on that pressure can be put on government
and the business community.
