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?

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.
