Comments of concern...

I am concerned with the responses I have gotten from Senator Mel Martinez. He seems to be seeking a balance between the dollar value of clean air and water and the true calamity that we face...The loss of our planet...Our inability to survive in the way that we believe we should.

Lets see...Dollars on one hand....A livable planet on the other. So, tell me...Which should we be most concerned with?

The economy is important, and if we heal the earth it will bring in new technologies and improved standards that will drive the economy into growth...A dead planet, that is seas that can not yield fish for food, air that is not breathable, storms that we can not survive...A dead planet is in no one's best interest...

and when the elected representative of my state acts like our President has cared for our environment...When all of the facts say otherwise...then I think we have a problem...

It is time to take action...reduce our use of fossil fuels, stop allowing dumping into the rivers and oceans, and find alternatives for our demand for energy. Heal the planet...we don't have a choice. And if we don't start now we may not have a chance.
