Friend of TreeHugger Daryl Hannah (she dropped by in New York last autumn and we chatted a few hours about LA's South Central Farm, Clinton's Global Initiative, her website and the environment in general - she's great and really dedicated to green) is shown here "[testing] the 'water' in a pit in the oil-producing region of Ecuador's Amazon jungle." If that can still be called water.

"Indians and settlers are suing Chevron for allegedly failing to clean up billions of gallons of oily wastewater. Hannah planned to discuss the lawsuit with Ecuador's president." ::SFGate, via ::Reddit

For every automobile sold a tree should be planted. For every house being built, plant four trees. Raise the fine on dumping pollutents. They say its cheaper to pay the fine than to get rid of it the right way.

Communist governments are not eco-friendly.

True, communist nations wreck the environment because they see themselves as Gods with the right to do whatever they want to the environment and the people. The people need more power and world governments, including the U.S. need LESS power.
