Abstract
There are no real justifications for what corporate polluters are doing to our environment and ecosystems. Unfortunately, conservative politicians continue to pooh poo the good works of environmentalists. But we still have unresolved issues of “climate change” and global warming and our polluted environments in the United States. Indeed, how can we approach these serious issues in a way that will foster understanding and action when it comes to our various ecosystems? To be clear, some Americans and peoples of the world haven’t learned anything that would indicate that they know much about our environmental challenges. Sadly, we also have a crisis of faith in our federal government — in terms of enacting environmental laws and policies that are supposed to protect our health and lives. Fortunately, environmental groups remain a bastion against environmental crimes and government deregulations in their support of polluting industries. In a fundamental way, we must also stand against filthy, polluting corporations. In other words, we have a broken or spotty record in protecting our fragile planet — that is, when it comes to ensuring our waters, air, and lands are clean. Therefore, citizens of the United States must exert maximum pressure on polluting organizations, and the power-that-be, to protect Americans from deliberate contamination. In essence, what we are doing today is inadequate. Question: Can we put the genie back in the bottle, to use the metaphor, to reverse our altered world by (dirty) pollution?
