recycling should be a political issue, or do you think we would have better success just leaving it to the private sector. It seems the politicians always muddy things up.

I certainly consider a candidate's record on the environment, but I would never vote for, let's say, a candidate who was good on the environment but wanted to start a war. I'd figure that environmental concerns constitute about 60% of my decision-making when evaluating a candidate, how about you?

find out how a politician voted on conservation issues, I just found a great website:

What do you think of this website?

Europe is in the thoes of PArliamentary elections for the community. It will take 4 days for all the members to get their votes in. Our polling day was today, and when i wnet to vote i was presented with a biwildering array of 30 odd candidates, some from parties i had never even heard of! I voted for the Green Party this time, knowing that they hadn't a hope in hell of being elected, but the only ones i could vote for given the scandal involving all the major parties recently and their expenses claims. In effect then, i wasted my vote, although it could be considered a protest vote.. Did i do the right thing?

I am always concious of the duty i have as a citizen to use the vote my ancestors fought for, and that so many of our young men are giving up their lives to secure for other places.

Do you think that Obama should give some kind of incentive for families to grow their own gardens? Would this be a way to conserve resources?
