I agree with Chris: Your Q’s are cr@p

One of the largest sources of mercury contamination in the US comes from Florescent Lightbulbs. Why are we killing the fish, our environment and poisoning people with these supposed "green" products?

Ask Al Gore and the left wing liberal Democrats that have forced us to use these fluorescent light bulbs. I think all incandescent bulbs will be against the law to use aftr 2012. How about that for living in the U.S.? I think we already have socialism.

Frank ‘Skip’ Bowman discusses “More Nuclear Energy: Why America Needs it Now.”

The volatility of natural gas prices and the potential for restrictions on coal-fueled power plants have combined to generate greater demand for nuclear power.

Being a life long Mechanic i would say that they are quite good on emissions but not quite the angel that people would have you think, they use far more fuel than most other vehicles, so they are a burden on our planet…Good riddance to them.

What else could it be? Maybe the states that don’t have helmet requirements have a higher population of brain damaged individuals who watch Fox News?

Drive In primary school in Nairobi’s Ruaraka area is under siege. The city council-run school is now the meeting point for vagabonds who walk in and out at will, thanks to the non existence of a perimeter fence . The school which has been in existence for 24 years is in a derelict condition, and as Martina Akinyi found out, the administration has to chase away drunkards on a daily basis in their battle to keep learning going.

Only positive things like species making a comeback or planting trees or how weve reduced emissions, i know we have done a lot i just need examples thanks

Through many efforts the whooping crane, which was headed for extinction, has managed to survive and for its population to even grow some. This is a notable species that has been saved.

Cities like Pittsburgh, which was once noted for its unbreathable air, are much cleaner now. Coal-fired electric generating plants are still important in many parts of the United States and elsewhere, but are now required to have scrubbers to clean their emissions.

Automobiles are now more environmentally friendly, thanks to improved emissions and reengineering of the fuels they use. The lumber industry, far from being environmentally a threat, has always engaged in replanting and reforestation where it has harvested mature lumber.

Many other countries in the world remain environmentally irresponsible, however. While the developed countries are working to clean up the environment, such developing countries as China and India are terrible polluters. The education process continues in hopes they can do better in the future.
