Bill -

Bingo - it's all well and good for Gore to preach environmental responsibility, but to be taken to heart he should walk the walk.

In like fashion, it would be well for organizations like the Sierra Club to stop giving membership gifts manufactured from nylon and other (typically) non-recycled material and to print the Sierra magazine on non-glossy paper (which my local recycler refuses to take).

But that doesn't let US off the hook! On a small, individual basis we can each do our part by using human powered transport where possible, making our material purchases with an eye to both the origin of the item and how it will be disposed of when it's worn out, on recycling all that we can, turning out lights, dressing logically (sweaters when its cold, light clothing when its hot, for example), fixing, rather than replacing things when they break, gardening and purchasing food from local sources - it all adds up, and none of it requires government intervention (which makes the old hippie/ folk singer / environmentalist / activist in me darned near giddy with delight!).

Peace

Steve
