How many green myths, contradictions and lies do you notice?

For me, my favorite is bamboo and linoleum flooring. Bamboo flooring comes from Asia on carbon-pumping diesel-burning cargo ships from around the world. Linoleum comes from Europe, so the carbon-pumping diesel-burning cargo ship syndrome exists. Also, a linoleum plant can’t even be built in north America due to environmental laws. The immense amount of organic VOCs released during the manufacturing process would never fly here. CFL bulbs are made in China too- all aboard! Sooner or later people will realize that Environment is directly linked to Economy via global trade. You can’t have it both ways.

I rec’d this email the other day…boy does it hit the nail right on!!

This lay up is on an ‘illegal super – highway’ from Mexico to the USA (Tucson) used by human smugglers.

This lay up area is located in a wash area approximately ¼ of a mile long just south of Tucson.

We estimate there are over 3,000 discarded back packs in this layup area. Countless water containers, food wrappers, clothing, and soiled baby diapers.

As I kept walking down the wash, I was sure it was going to end just ahead, but I kept walking and walking, and around every corner was more and more trash!

The trash left behind by the illegals is another of the Environmental Disasters to hit the USA. Had this been done in one of our great Northwest Forests or Seashore National Parks areas there would be an uprising of the American people……..but this is remote Arizona-Mexican border. You won’t see these pictures on CNN, ABC, NBC or the Arizona Repugnant. Nor will they mention the disease that comes from the human waste left in the desert. They do talk about light bulbs a lot though. ..

These photos need to be seen by the rest of the country….and especially by policy makers at every level of government.
