Kenneth Queener: I think yes. Another question - Is your health more important than your career?I believe most people will answer health becuase no health no career.Ditto for environment and economy. No environment no economy.Help the environment!http://www.greenfanclub.com...Show more
Lu Tiner: Countries that have advanced economically turn their prosperity towards improving the environment.So first comes the economy then the environment. If we can help 3rd world countries become more prosperous they will help their environment more.Pollution levels in the US have been steadily decreasing thanks to economic prosperity. There's no reason protecting the environment has to hurt the economy just like there's no reason helping the economy has to hurt the environment.We should look for ways to help both at the same time. Solutions like extra taxation only hurt the economy, so we need better solutions than carbon taxes....Show more
Sherrill Botting: The only trul! y liberal media outlet is MSNBC. Fox can accurately characterized as far right, and they are the #1 rated news channel, so they ARE the mainstream media. The other networks go out of their way to be neutral, since they fear being labeled as liberal. They might lean slightly left on social issues, but they are all right wing when it comes to economic issues. And they don't do editorials or commentary, which comprises most of FOX and MSNBC programming. The fact that you describe the media in general as "ridiculously biased liberal media" proves that your own sources of information are very biased themselves. That said, it is improper and unethical for a social studies teacher to let her bias show so transparently. Everyone has political views, and it is nearly impossible to hide them all the time, but she should be making much more of an effort to teach both sides of the issues. I would write her an anonymous note telling her your concerns, and see if that makes a difference.! ...Show more
Cody Petrulis: Modern materialism strips us! of the need to feel resposible for our surroundings. And the need to increase our materiel worth surpass the desire to restrict our impact on the enironment :=(
Jana Sakasegawa: lets think about it no nature = no humans oh dear that means no economy growth
Carolin Southers: I believe it is more important. We can always rebuild the economy but trying to rebuild an ecosystem or bring back one of the many living creatures we make extinct everyday is not possible. Companies promise to create new wetlands if they cover one up, well it takes awhile to see if it will work and it has to meet a lot of requirements to be prosperous. One way to fix the economy is to tax the hell out of the companies that outsource all their jobs and maybe they will return the work back to the people that buy their products. Cheap labor overseas as well as a poorly run government (does not matter if u r republican or democrat) is a major problem....Show more
Russel Gajate: ecology! and economy walk hand in hand Check history ,all great civilizations depended on a healthy Environment ,when the soil was gone or the climate had changed because of deforestations the societies disappearedThe success of a Human society depends on its ability to grow food and the health of its people,if the water or soil becomes polluted the economy collapses.Most of the inland rains comes from the precipitation of forests ,only coastal regions get their rain from the seasHence we must preserve our forests ,because they keep the rivers flowing All life in Nature of both the flora and fauna is interrelated, so we must keep all of it intact, to hang on to the equilibriums that have taken thousands of years to come into being.What do you think is more important, the planet or the people.Can we live without the planet?????????people are easy to make ,it takes just 2 to tango....Show more
Kate Baune: It all depends whether you think that you are more important than your gr! andchildren or the future of humanity.Also- they are not mutually exclu! sive. If fact- with a little government motivation in the right direction, whole new business markets will open up for green technologies and products.
