Funny Quotes about
POLLUTION IN GENERAL

"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."

Dan Quayle, former US vice president

"Oh Beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain,
For strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain.
America, America, man sheds his waste on thee,
And hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea."

George Carlin

"We have met the enemy and he is us."

Walt Kelly (from "Pogo")

"We have found the sources of hazardous waste and they are us."

US EPA, from "Everybody's Problem: Hazardous Waste"

"You go into a community and they will vote 80 percent to 20 percent in favor of a tougher Clean Air Act, but if you ask them to devote 20 minutes a year to having their car emissions inspected, they will vote 80 to 20 against it. We are a long way in this country from taking individual responsibility for the environmental problem."

William D. Ruckelshaus, former EPA administrator

THE EVER-POPULAR TORTURED SEGUE

 

Pollution and Health article link; thumb of air pollution IMPURITEASE IN THE AIR AT THE TASSEL CLUB
Pollution is not just something that happens to "the environment." It affects the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the land we grow our food on. So, when it comes to us water-drinking, air-breathing, food-eating humans, what is the relationship between pollution and health?

ON POLLUTION

CATEGORY:  ENVIRONMENT (POLLUTION) — 01.OCT.2014

Rating: 3 of 5 - Good, worth a listen Living on Earth

Communities at Odds with States on Fracking Wastewater Zoning — Fracking wastewater is trucked from Pennsylvania into Ohio, where it is processed and injected into deep wells. Many locals worry about earthquakes and water contamination, but local councils are finding that state rules override citizens' concerns about waste-water well siting.

GP comment:  Regardless of what the industry says, waste-water injection is just a regulated pollution activity. Inevitably, all injected waste will contaminate groundwater somewhere.

Rating: 5 of 5 - Must-listening! Quirks and Quarks

"Microbead" Plastic Pollution Plagues the St. Lawrence River — Microplastic beads, often found in industrial and household products like cosmetics and cleaners, are known to pollute ocean water. Now the beads have been found in the sediments of the St. Lawrence for the first time. Anthony Ricciardi, a biologist at McGill University, explains why it was surprising to find this type of pollution in a river, especially in the sediment, and what the impact on river life is.

GP comment:  Well, crap. If it's in the St. Lawrence River, you know its in ALL the rivers in North America.

Rating: 3 of 5 - Good, worth a listen Resistance Radio

The Colorado River—Past, Present, and Future — Gary Wockner coordinates the Save the Colorado River Campaign, whose mission is to protect and restore the Colorado River and its tributaries from the source to the sea. Topics include the history of the river; water rights and farms vs. cities; impact of dams and water rights on species; and opportunities for improving the river's future.

GP comment:  The chance of a major hydroelectric dam coming down to benefit species is zero (and, from an overall environmental perspective, should be zero). It's good that their "dam talk" acknowledges that reality.

CHINA CELEBRATES ITS STATUS AS WORLD’S NUMBER ONE AIR POLLUTER

Now that the Beijing Olympics are over, China can get back to polluting properly! Enjoy this great dead-pan video satire on the subject, which uses the angle that politicians will try to put a happy face on just about any bad news. Funny stuff from The Onion. Go there

“CLEAN COAL” AIR FRESHENER

This short, funny bit of video satire takes on the loosey-goosey term "clean coal," which the coal industry and its political allies love to pretend is "what we're doing with coal today" rather than "a theoretically possible approach to coal that is completely unproven." In fact, not only are there are no "clean coal" plants operating in the US today, there are none even planned. Repeat after me: "There is no such thing as clean coal." From the Coen brothers and the Reality Campaign via YouTube. Go there. Go there
