Environment 
Schriner added he found the Toledo Zoo Bird Show’s ending by narrator Emily Insalaco insightful – “We’ve not inherited this earth from our parents; we’re borrowing it from our children,” she said. ~make clean, renewable alternative energy (solar, wind, water…) America’s primary source of energy. ~no to nuclear technology ~create incentives for Americans to substantially cut back on their energy use. ~heightened focus on alternative transportation: solar and electric vehicles, bicycling, walking… in a more decentralized society. ~switch to more biomass fuel sources. ~implement “Walkable Communities Model” nationwide ~”Reforest America Campaign” ~better, and more regionally oriented, forest management practices ~end eco-system damaging grazing on federal lands. ~ban environmentally toxic lawn fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. ~emission control standards for gasoline powered lawn equipment. ~ban toxic (to the environment and humans) farm chemicals -- including a shift to much more organic growing. ~curb urban sprawl and reestablish wildlife habitat – including incentives for more “Backyard Habitats.” ~inspire “Endangered Species Associations” for each species that’s currently endangered. ~stop water pollution. ~help generate more clean water in the U.S. and in the Third World with desalinization plants, low-tech solar ovens for water pasteurization in the Third World, gutter systems to “harvest” rainwater… ~tremendously stepped-up Recycling Program nationwide. ~become a “Society of Conservers.” There are also things homeowners can do to reduce dependency on fossil fuels, [Schriner] said, such as riding a bike or walking places, not using air conditioning, turning the thermostat down and wearing sweaters at home during the winter – all things he and his family do. |
