Good post WMY - but wouldn't it be great WMY (and everyone else posting) - if we didn't have to compare ourselves to the next worse person in the line-up and say: "Oh ya - well look @ him - he's as bad as I am"?

What's the single largest motivator that causes mines & other industrial activities to destroy our creeks, rivers & lakes whether they be in the US or Canada? and more importantly - what can we do about that?
Maybe keeping political corruption out of decision-making the 2nd issue?
