I have a bridge to sell you. Interested?
Sorry. I'm not one to fall hook line and sinker with I see a puke-inducing 'feel good' Suncor commercial. All I have to do is visit a polluted city and I will develop an instantaneous sinus infection. Been that way all of my life, and I am almost certain it's what will kill me in the end.
You know, I could say a lot of things here, but I will leave you with this. A few years back I watched a documentary on how some people in West Virginia were upset because environmentalists were forcing their mountain top coal mining jobs out of business. The enviromentalists were called every name under the sun, and told to mind their freaking business by many, including the featured man and wife who lived in a most pristine setting. No doubt, times were tough for the couple money-wise. The reporter then asked how they would feel if the mountains that surrounded their beautiful home were chosen to be blasted. Without missing a beat, the husband blurted, "I'd do everything to stop it." (I paraphrase to the best of my memory, but the same gist). So basically, it's all okay, as long as it does not happen in my neighbourhood. :roll:
And then there is this, all supported by government agencies.http://www.nma.org/pdf/fact_sheets/cct.pdf
