Got to love the environmentalists. They want us to move towards plasitc bags to "save the trees". They nearly end the lumber industry in the US, so we have to ship in lumber from locations that are not as good as our lumber mills in planting 2 trees for every tree they take down. In the meantime, we have more forest fires because of allowing the underbrush to build up from the ending forest fire craze. They demonize one of the cleanest forms of energy around (nuclear). At the same time, while demonizing nuclear, they claim we need to be as "clean" as Europe in our energy production. Oh yeah, and what does Europe use more than the US??? Nuclear. Then they promote ethanol, which does not reduce CO2 production, does not reduce pollution and only makes fuel and produce cost more.
Its like the environmentalists are out to destroy the environment and the economy in the same foul swoop.
C,
It is funny that you bring up whether it is gov't or not. Didn't you have a problem with the private funding that "denier groups" recieve???
Further C, the mandate of meeting those standards is by the gov't. Oops.
In the early 1970s, 1/3 of America's municipal water was unsafe to drink and 3/4 of its lakes and coastal waters were too toxic to fish or swim in.
How many economic failures and industrial accidents does it take; how many sick and dead people does it take; and how many lies do you idiots get to tell before the masses make you STFU?
Why don't you educate yourself on what humans do to the environment? This world belongs to everyone, liberals and conservatives and everyone in between. We all need to treat it better.
This blog explains it very well: http://www.wordcarnival.com/2014/03/recy...
Sounds more like capitalism than environmentalism to me.
Could be resolved by regulations regarding ongoing usage
Just one more case of the blind leading the blind. Notice the people on this site that support this idiocy? They used to put these people in padded cells and take away all sharp instruments.
This is a private group, not a governmental agency and it is private owners spending money to build the green buildings, not the government. SO whose policy failure do you think these are??? That is just the name of the group making news. You continue to display you don't know jack about AGW What a crock
Before the real masses begin to realize what a intellectually bankrupt and corrupt these leftists really are. I mean this is the crap that AGW cultists and every liberal demand we do yet it's proven to be corrupt and complete failures time and time again.

Watch how leftists and greenies defend this. It will only prove that their idealism is an abject failure and their utopia is nothing more than symbolism over substance. Not a thing these greenies do is a complete success commercially. The only way this kind of crap even gets started is by crony capitalism from leftist cohorts like Obama and AlGore. I wonder how much of our taxpayer dollars is wasted on this BS. I wonder how much of our tax dollars is laundered back into the coffers of liberal supporters of the corrupt politicians who vote for this.
The people who push this failed BS is the same people are trying to push the failed AGW theory on the rest of the world. How can anyone trust them with such a failed track record in green policies?
