From the time I was a child I was concerned about the Earth and the affect we were having on her, especially on water. In the early seventies as a young girl I noticed a difference in my local waterways and that they looked polluted more than previously. This actually scared me because I did not know what the world would then be like when I grew up and had a child if we kept dumping poisons into our water. My mom told me the best way to learn about pollution was to read about it.

I went to my local library and asked the librarian to give me some books about the environment and pollution. She gave me a book on air pollution, water pollution, and a copy of Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. And that was my wake up call. My mom and I sat on our porch that summer reading her book together, and I made a pledge that I would from that point on do all I could as one person to speak out for the Earth and us when I saw environmental injustice.

I was always involved in some sort of environmental event in school, even winning some awards for my community work. After that I went on to high school and joined an environmental club that did neighborhood cleanups and spread awareness of pollution. I then wrote about it a few times for my college paper and continued to write Congress about my concerns.

Since the seventies the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and many other bills passed in an effort to preserve our planet and hold polluters accountable. I even remember writing to President Nixon all those years ago when the EPA was born when I was but 12 years old to tell him that automobiles should be run without combustion engines and with solar power. Solar power was always the one way I believed and still believe that this world was meant to be powered.

My advocacy for this planet has not waned as I have become much older and wiser, now with my own teenage son who is informed about the climate crisis we face and what we must do to hold government accountable for laws that will help mitigate its affects. I also now write my own blog on water issues and am a vocal advocate for water conservation as the global water crisis we face is interlinked with the climate crisis. I suppose you could then say my love for Earth is generational. My mom passed it on to me and now I pass it on. Only now, it is much more serious in regards to the future sustainability of our climate balance. This is why I joined WE. Because my heart is this Earth, and still as a child I pledge to do all I can as one person to speak out for her when I see environmental injustice.

How would we keep our air and water clean? -  Mary J. Ruwart, Ph.D. 

Pollution Solution (Part 1) explored two steps that libertarians would take to save the environment. First, libertarians would eliminate sovereign immunity so that victims of the country's greatest polluter-government--would have recourse. Second, libertarians would privatize land and beast to save endangered species, preserve our parks, protect our national forests, and improve our vast cattle ranges. In addition, libertarians would couple these powerful reforms with restitution, to prevent pollution before it starts.

Libertarians reject the initiation of physical force as a means to their ends. Restitution is the remedy when someone harms another, takes their property, or damages it. While punishment is intended to hurt the aggressor, restitution restores the victim to the fullest extent possible. Restitution is "punishment" that fits the crime and therefore provides a more effective deterrent.   Read More »

Isn't government the best protector of the environment and our national parks?

Who's the greatest polluter of all? The oil companies? The chemical companies? The nuclear power plants?

If you guessed "none of the above" you'd be correct. Our government, at the federal, state, and local levels, is the single greatest polluter in the land. In addition, our government doesn't even clean up its own garbage!

In 1988, for example, the EPA demanded that the Departments of Energy and Defense clean up 17 of their weapons plants which were leaking radioactive and toxic chemicals-enough contamination to cost $100 billion dollars in clean-up costs over 50 years! The EPA was simply ignored. No bureaucrats went to jail or were sued for damages. Government departments have sovereign immunity.

In many circumstances, the products we use in our efforts to be more sustainable have a bigger footprint than we think. Recent articles in the Washington Post and from the Worldwatch Institute show how the production of large amounts of polysilicon in China are dumping toxic wastes on the surrounding landscape--the homes of poor Chinese villagers. The byproducts from these industrial processes include silicon tetrachloride, which ruins the soil chemistry and releases poisonous fumes. The situation is ironically inconsistent with the end use of this valuable product, which is usually for photovoltaic solar panels, which turn solar energy into "green, renewable" electricity. This is actually only one example of the ways that efforts by the developed world to become sustainable only result in more environmental degradation and socio-economic disparities.

The situation in [one Chinese] village points to the environmental trade-offs the world is making as it races to head off a dwindling supply of fossil fuels. Forests are being cleared to grow biofuels like palm oil, but scientists argue that the disappearance of such huge swaths of forests is contributing to climate change. Hydropower dams are being constructed to replace coal-fired power plants, but they are submerging whole ecosystems under water. -washingtonpost.com

Producing polysilicon is extremely profitable due to high demand, and the Chinese manufacturers are increasing their profits by refusing to invest in recycling technology, which is available now. The manufacturers apparently have the law on their side. They maintain that their practices are in keeping with all Chinese environmental restrictions, and while formal complaints have been made to portions of the government responsible for environmental protection, no action has been taken.

We have been legislated to death and unless we take our world back, we won't make it.

Toxic energy, burning food for fuel, various degrees of polluting the environment, they are legal.

There are even ideas that say the rich should be allowed to continue to pollute for a tax/credit system at a high cost if they choose, and only the poor and middle class need to adjust their pollution levels as they get paid for allowing others to pollute.

Like HORTON HEARS A WHO, it's going to take everyone being stewards of our environment to turn this mess around. True success demands we work as one.

By government order, hemp is illegal. Hemp is a biomass champion that scrubs the air of excess CO2 as it grows, burns clean as biofuel, grows up to 4 crops a year that can be converted into 50,000 plus useful products and services, and has the ability to help restore the economically essential family farm system.

Richard M. Davis of the USA Hemp Museum has a book called HEMP FOR VICTORY: A GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTION.

(free preview ebook link posted through 5/31/08)

http://www.hempmuseum.org/H4V/H4VAGWS.pdf

In Davis' book, he recommends we use the successful WWII Hemp For Victory program to grow enough hemp to suck the excess CO2, the cause of global warming regardless of the source, from the atmosphere.

Davis explains the who, what, when, where, ware (many websites listed), why and how about applying hemp to help solve the problem of global warming.

Growing hemp on 10-20% of unused federal land would be a good start. Traditional growers can also use existing farm land that has been polluted with decades of toxic fertilizers and grow hemp for a spell.

Hemp's root system grows up to six feet deep and aerates the soil. Hemp is so good at what it does it was reportedly used to clean the soil around Chernobyl.

http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/pae/botany/botany_map/articles/article_10.html

Growing hemp indoors in abandoned buildings could help also, turning unused real estate into income producing property, as demonstrated in the great Showtime television series Weeds

http://www.sho.com/weeds

when Conrad grows inside in both commercial and residential buildings.

We must do something now. The failure of congress to pass Ron Paul's Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2007

http://youtube.com/watch?v=U0XGGgO9GlQ

was one more death knell in our battle to save ourselves from the results of legal pollution levels and the impact those decisions are having on our world.

We deeply appreciate the efforts of the heroic congress people who at least put the issue on the table again. They are listed in the above Youtube webeo link, a piece the Museum put up in gratitude for their effort.

In case we have not damaged the planet where simple cause and effect cease to work, restoring hemp to nature should do the trick of reducing the excess CO2 at cause for global warming.

But first we must turn away from our stupid energy policy that uses food for fuel, rather than hemp biofuel, which burns four times more efficiently than corn and when in pellet or log forms, can be burned at plants that make electricity or buildings to make heat.
