A Million Green Ideas

Is this why tornadoes are so rare in big cities? Is it something about all the big buildings and congestion? Almost everytime they show a tornado its always in the middle of no where in a corn field somewhere. What causes most big tornadoes to stay away from the city?

Is there something about the urban city environment that helps kill or weaken tornadoes?

My boss is always taking about how pro-environmentalists are just liberal socialists, but to me it seems that conserving the environment would be, um, conservative.

How do we get people to be more environmentally conservative, without making this a big and stupid socialist versus capitalist or liberal versus conservative debate?
Thanks for the answer about Free Market Environmentalism…

It’s a shame that mainstream religion has not addressed this issue more directly. Let’s get out in the streets people!

FREE MARKET ENVIRONMENTALISM!!!

Don’t think it exists? Is Clorox making environmentally safe bleach? Does Whole Foods pack in the consumers? Is Macy’s selling “green” clothing?

“Free-market environmentalists are environmentalists who believe that in many–though not necessarily all–situations, markets will do far more to protect the environment than regulation or bureaucracy.”

“Like all environmentalists, free-market environmentalists believe that we face serious environmental problems, including pollution, habitat destruction, toxics, and endangered species. Unlike some environmentalists, free-market environmentalists believe that decentralized tools such as user fees, incentives, and markets will solve those problems better than centralized tools such as subsidies, bureaucracy, and regulation.”

How do we conserve the environment without becoming socialist?

How do liberals feel about improving the environment at the cost of big companies??

Should the national defense get cut down some?

How do you feel about marriage and divorce laws??

How about criminal laws?

You’ve asked a lot of very general questions.

1. Not all liberals are environmentalists. Perhaps you should ask how environmentalists feel about the environment vs. big business.

2. Not all liberals are for cutting the national defense budget. Some of us think it is completely bloated and could be streamlined (as does Secretary of Defense Robert Gates).

3. Sorry, this is really too broad a question.

4. Again, way too broad.
