Caring about the environment is not a conservative or liberal issue. It is alarming how the most basic parts of a healthy existence are constantly in jeopardy. Careless implementation of laws that should protect toxic chemicals from flowing into rivers are manipulated by corporate greed.Foods are tainted and there are serious questions about the Canadian pipeline and fracking. We have an obligation to leave this planet as safe and healthy for those who follow us. This is not about just saving the spotted owl by a bunch of so called “tree huggers”. It is an obligation to preserve and protect the future.
