I had a career protecting the environment. But we need materials like lumber from forests, and metals from mines and grazing animals on range lands. We have harvest and utilize natural resources in a responsible way.
Calculate your carbon foot print. Insulate your house. Drive fuel efficient vehicles. Minimize are travel. Use native plants in your landscape. Don't let the water run when you are doing household chores. The list is nearly endless. Repair appliances instead of sending them to a landfill. Live a responsible life.
