Environmentally challenged

Since I no longer wish to rely upon name calling and finger pointing, I have taken it upon myself to share my political beliefs in a blog. This is part two in a series of such entries.

CLEAN AIR -
Clean air is a basic right for all of us, and is especially important for our children's health. Protect the basic right of clean air for all Americans.

CLEAN WATER -
Work to educate and enlist the public in protecting and restoring the quality of our nation's waters and wetlands.

CORPERATE ACCOUNTABILITY -
Systems of corporate governance and the corporate abuse of power interfere with the ability of communities and nations to protect the environment. Takes action through shareholder resolutions, opposing corporate water privatization, and education regarding the fundamentals of corporate power.

GLOBAL POPULATION -
Population growth affects the environment. Work to slow that growth and its impacts by promoting voluntary family planning and by encouraging the public to advocate for women and girls' access to basic rights, including health care and education.

GLOBAL WARMING -
Work to promote solutions to global warming using current and cutting-edge technology that will reduce our use of fossil fuels. By switching to energy efficient cars and trucks, and clean, renewable energy, we can curb global warming pollution, save consumers money and curtail our reliance on oil.

NATIONAL FORESTS -
Work to protect and restore healthy forest ecosystems and sustainable local economies, preserve our National Forests, and protect communities from the danger of fires.

NUCLEAR WASTE -
At a time when its accumulation is accelerating and no plan for its permanent isolation has been developed anywhere in the world, nuclear waste is one of the greatest problems of the twentieth century.

RESPONSIBLE TRADE -
Trade is integrally linked to more traditional environmental issues such our access to clean air, clean water and open spaces to enjoy. Work toward trade that is clean, green and fair, where peoples' lives and livelihood's are protected.

SPECIES AND HABITAT -
America has been blessed with a rich array of native fish and wildlife. Meet the stewardship responsibilities for this web of life with which we are all entrusted so that future generations are able to explore and enjoy the natural world.

SPRAWL -
Work to fight poorly planned runaway development and promotes smart growth communities that increase transportation choices, reduce air and water pollution, and protect our natural places.

SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION -
Sustainable consumption is the use of goods and services that satisfy basic needs and improve quality of life while minimizing the usage of irreplaceable natural resources and the byproducts of toxic materials, waste, and pollution.

TOXICS -
Toxic chemical pollution threatens every American family and every community. In 1996 alone, State and federal governments allowed polluters to dump more than 175 million pounds of cancer-causing chemicals into our air and water.

TRASH TRANSFER -
Trash transfer stations are sprouting up in urban areas across the nation and more and more neighborhoods are being forced to respond quickly and strategically to the threat they pose to neighbors' health, property value, and quality of life.

WILDLANDS -
Secure the lasting protection for the 100 million acres of wild America in the next decade.
