Improving our impact on the requirement happens gradually, sometimes much too gradually.

The other aspect of this is being good neighbors. This is true whether sewage from your boat in a harbor or air pollution from the smokestacks of your factory. Some are more sensitive to potential negative impact on neighbors than others.

I would say this thread has had one positive. It's led to a discussion, much of it civil and on target even if some wasn't, of environmental issues. None of us have all the answers but if our awareness is heightened, we may be a part of the solutions.
Very Good Post! Thanks!!
