Just a great person to listen to.. Environmental issues are so important to me.. Everything else will take a back seat if we do not have a viable ecosystem and potable water..

(22,878 posts)3. bigtree.. that bothers me more than anything
Just the lack of focus on it by the media, voters, candidates... Nothing and I mean nothing else works if the eco system is destroyed..
