All we can hope for is that the thing is going to slowly and imperceptibly shift. All I can say is that 50 years ago there were no such thing as environmental policies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think an old style of addressing environmental problems is ebbing, but the rise of the so-called conservative, political movement in this country is not a trend towards the future but a reaction to this very broad shift that we are undergoing.
I think the government has to reposition environment on top of their national and international priorities.
Like the other great revolutions, an environmental revolution will require sacrifices and lead to enormous gains. It, too, will change the face of the land and human institutions, hierarchies, self-definitions, cultures. It will take centuries. If it happens. There is no guarantee, of course.
We have very strong environmental laws in the United States and elsewhere around the world. The problem is that they're seldom enforced.
I really believe in the environmental movement right now - it only takes a little effort to make a big difference.
It's time we stopped ignoring the environment. Let's not let another election go by without making this a high priority.
Why has it seemed that the only way to protect the environment is with heavy-handed government regulation?
Address these environmental issues and you will address every issue known to man. And we keep dabbling in things that aren't really that important in the long term.
There are a tremendous amount of environmental issues that are on the table.
I wish politicians would put the environment at the centre of every agenda.
