I agree that enough studies have been done. I also think that the PEOPLE are ready to adapt to changes that will improve the environmental impact. When the 100th monkey re-cycles and changes their mode of transportation it will become the social thing to do.

As far as studies and planning goes - I haven't heard any mention of the Kyoto accord on this thread. It goes a long way to address international pollution and sets pretty high standards. Canada is attempting to implement it but the U.S. is dragging its heels. As far as I'm concerned, its the least we can do but its a start.

We can all do our part as individuals but until environmental standards are made law and enforced, the industrialists will continue to pollute the planet at our expense.
