If you could enact and enforce one environmental regulation, what would it be?

End Mono-crops.

No privatization of water supplies for any reason.

I want P&C to take back all our packaging, and they can sort it out. I would be willing to pay a fee for this. The store is within walking distance , the dump isn't. Yes we recycle, and yes I buy products in as little waste as possible. But a lot of our waste should be considered by our community supermarkets. Just saying, putting it out there to open it for discussion.

Using Solar and wind sources for our energy need as much as possible.

All forms of energy extraction, shipping, storage and distribution would have licenses for each and each means. Each of these licenses would have ultimate guidelines for safety. Violate one of those guidelines, you loose that license. Forever.

So, for example, B.P. could no longer drill for oil, nor could Exxon ship it by ocean tanker. Nor could their subsidiaries.

Stop the OIL drilling.....(is that enviormental ) ?

ban advertising
ban politics
ban planned obsolescence
oh, you think that's three?
i dont think so.

No co2!!!!!! Or fossil fuels to start with...cmon!!!!

An act I would enact:

For every $1.00 oil companies receive in tax breaks or other forms of government largesse, $3.00 must be invested in clean, renewable energy.

Clean Water Act.

Public ownership of all natural resources of the land (water, minerals, forests, etc). They belong to the people, not to the corporations. There should be a democratic decision-making process controlling how we use and export our country's natural resources. The proceeds of these publicly controlled resources should then be used to balance our budget and lower overall taxes.

Tax breaks for companies that R&D solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources, as either city-wide power plants, as something for individual homes or individual cars.

Additional tax breaks if they get a product to market.

Increase taxes on fossil fuel companies to compensate for any lost revenue.

fewer humans

Completely protect all water from toxic dumping. Really I want to also protect the air and soil and..........stop rain-forest deforestation!

Enact a law that gives the ecosystem that we depend on for life, the same rights to protection of life, as humans.
Killing a complex ecosystem is a more evil and far-reaching act than killing a single human being.
Let the laws reflect the real basis and reality of life on this planet--not some ancient egocentric fantasy.

OR , Here is a different one .... ONLY people who believe in the cause of the war have to go and fight it . Even if you are an old man you can still be useful to the military .

Renewable energy sources ONLY - what a shock huh ? JObs would be popping up left and right ....

Free the weed!

Clean water. It's the key to all life.

Simply require all corporations to bear the cost of disposing the waste associated with their products.

How many plastic wrappers come out of your factories? You get to pay for their clean up through a tax.

How many tons of carbon do you emit? You have to pay for offsets.

That seems pretty easy.

Outlaw oil drilling, mountain top removal, gas fracking, nuclear based energy production. Give a period of 5 years to make a 100% switch to solar and/or hydrogen fuel-cell technologies.

The maintenance of urban development boundaries to control our rampant urban sprawl - the root of many, many evils.

people in a 10 mile radius to there work will have to walk, or ride a bike. Saves on using gas, makes them healthy instead of wallowing in car, and will mean less pollution from the bloody cars.

i would put a ban on all products that detroy the planet...

Potable water and sustainable food are human rights which cannot be abridged by corporate privitization.

Mandatory cross over into electric passenger vehicles or reused bio diesel trucks. Stop the production of plastic bottles and the sales of natural resources. I can't stop at just one!

I think I'd slap restrictions on all the hot air being generated in DC.

If YOU made it,....YOU have to make it "GO AWAY". Like - - - -dig it- - -"return it to the earth", in total,....break it back down,.....if no one else is taking responsibility for it.

" YOU MADE IT,....YOU BROKE US,...YOU BREAK IT DOWN "

( You break it,....you buy it )
- how bout THEM apples ?

As in - - -if you use the River to make your damn lighter,....anything that goes into the river WE didn't ask for,....you process with JUST AS MUCH DILIGENCE AND ENTHUSIASM as you did the fucking lighters. Talking to YOU "John Galt". And don't just fucking shrug and look all innocent and noble.

p.s. active principle ; [ YOU,....CAN'T "OWN" the World - Its OUR collective "hood". ]

Repeal ethanol mandates. It would end the food for fuel debate and lower prices instantly throughout the world as much of our food is corn based.

One regulation?

Anyone and everyone who speaks on the environment publicly would
have to tell the truth.
.

*I approve this message*

Make it illegal internationally to kill of whales, dolphins and elephants.

I believe these are the most highly evolved animals on our planet, they should be allowed to continue to evolve.

Some might argue they are sentient.
