    All environmental movements are based around the interests of people not the environment itself.

     

    When you do get a preservation movement as opposed to a wise use or conservation movement you get the "spotted owls are worth more than humans."  All of the modern attempts at controlling the damage humans cause are really half-assed because of this. Humans are regarded as special either due to religious beliefs or simply from a specist standpoint.

     

    Actually getting it passed comes down how much people can live with someone else breaking the rules and getting more out of it. Why switch from a lawn to native plants when your neighbor has the finest one on the block and isn't being seriously penalized? Why drive a Leaf when your friend has 442 Olds? Why pick your trash at the beach when 10 families just left it there?

     

    I highly disagree with you. I also dont even know what you were trying to say :P 

     

    Your comments about preservation does not directly relate to this. I dont see too much of a correlation either than the fact that owls are part of nature :P

     

     

    This obviously doesn't address pollution and destruction of the environment, but I don't know why we haven't been able to set up some sort of apparatus that captures carbion dioxide out of the air, and just pumps it underground. Or, maybe make CO2 pipelines from urban areas to forests, where the CO2 would (theoretically) be better captured by the plant life. It would take government operation/subsidies, but I'd imagine if you got a few nations on board (India, China, US, and others) that would eliminate the whole "carbon footprint" thing.

     

    Note: I am not even closed to a climate expert, and I totally understand that everything I just said might be completely wrong :P

     

    I think scientists have researched things like this but what has stopped them is lawmakers and funding overall. Governments dont want to fix environmental issues because it could "Hurt jobs" (which is stupid to say cause fixing something that could kill us all in a couple hundred years is worth 10-100 jobs in a few areas).
