Where to start? This entire article is simply a continuation of the “feel good” ideology that has hijacked our government. I have nothing against recycling but I've seen reports showing that recycling actually consumes more energy and generates more CO2 than creating a new version of the thing being recycled. How does using less water “help the environment”, as the author states? Last time I was in biology class, the Water Cycle was immutable and a closed system. Water changes states but very little water is actually “destroyed” or lost during the cycle.

This entire article reeks of environmental extremism. That's not to say that we shouldn't do out best to keep things clean and be mindful of what we're doing, but this blind rush to simply protect all things nature and go 100% green no matter what the costs is absolutely crazy. The economy is down due primarily to a decade of environmental activism in Congress. Why does oil cost $120 per barrel when we have reserves right here at home? Why has a new refinery not been built since 1973 in America? Why do energy costs continue to rise in Kansas when a coal plant would help these increases? The answer is simple: the environmentalists are finally winning. Their agenda doesn't include people and their quality of life; it is a religious zeal focused on protecting the planet

Just consider the growing problem with rice shortages around the world. The reason? Farmers are converting their wheat crops to corn to meet federal regulations around Ethanol production quotas. The wheat supplies on the market have dropped so people are turning to rice to fill their dietary gaps. There are so many issues that are intertwined here and falling down like dominoes but the root cause is environmentalism. The blind “green” rush is hurting us all.
