I can't resist posting on this. Remeber that a lot of this mess is due to governments that have no restrictions on buiness and farming that pollute the natural landscape. This is one reason that there has been such a huge swing towards outsourcing. Foreign governments have less costly restrictions on commerance. The UN needs to prove that they are not spinless and call for an embargo on Countrys that refuse to adopt ANY guidlines on enviromental protection. This is far larger than the problems faced in the US EPA laws. This is a Global Problem that needs to be addressed.

Sorry if I am alieninating myself as I tend to do.
