Thank you, Steve and Lenny, for defending what too many apologists have
nearly given away -- our RIGHT to a good environment. The long-range
values too often get washed away in the "need" for early, "practical"
solutions. Now the political call is to wash away that right, as well.

Finally, the United States is talking about assigning disposal costs
back to the purveyors of excessive packaging. A commitment to cleaning
up our worst wastes, instead of paving them over, is similarly overdue.
