Solution: Protecting the Environment

Global warming is rampant, environmental regulations are looser than ever. Never before has it been so easy for special interests to pollute our land, our water, and our air. President Bush has shown his dedication to reducing the limits on carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen emissions. President Bush does not think the environment is a top priority. He says it himself, he doesn’t believe global warming exists while almost every scientist in the world disagrees.

What follows is a policy prescription I wrote for ActiveDemocracy.org , a new group of citizens dedicated to preserving and protecting our environment. In this brief policy paper, I outline a series of steps which can be taken in order to ensure a proper quality of life for all Americans. I propose a series of iniatives, many of which encourage the market to help us solve our environmental crisis. Furthermore, I encourage the government to actively promote compliance with our regulations and to ensure compliance not only through punishing violators but incentivizing those who do obey the law. It's long time that we got serious about our environmental problems and pushed for cleaner air, water, and land. I am confident that if companies are encouraged by citizens and by government in the form of incentives, penalties and effects on the bottomline, that they will comply. Below is the link to my brief policy paper. If you like what you read, please forward it to your friends, please leave comments, and of course, do join ActiveDemocracy.org so that you can help guarantee that those candidates elected in 2004 stand up on behalf of what we all hold dear, our environment.
