The proposals to ban trade in used electronics between rich and poor have had a perverse effect. Poor nations have more pressing things to worry about than "e-waste". They are better off purchasing working and repairable electronics from rich people than they are being outlawed from the trade.

Follow the example of forward-thinking local governments by banning all Polystyrene packaging in the US and promoting environmentally responsible alternatives

I am on a one-woman campaign (with many others!) to get our environment picked up and clean. On my daily bicycling rides (appr. 10 mi.), I pick up aluminum cans along the road. This makes my riding time twice as long and sometimes I am exhausted by the 25 to 100 times I get off and on my bicycle. It hurts my eyes and heart to see how careless people throw anything by the side of the road. If we could charge a deposit on beverage containers, people would be less likely to throw them out of the car; people could supplement their income by getting cash for what they picked up and children would be inspired to check and clean up as they too could cash in what they retrieve. This is a win-win solution to a terribly ugly situation.

"Unfortunately, in regions that have actually experienced natural resource extraction, local leaders have been found to view their economic prospects less in terms of jubilation than of desperation." a 2002 academic article written by a professor with a joint appointment at UW-Madison and University of California – Santa Barbara, and a researcher at the Watershed Research and Training Center.

Companies like Monsanto are using Hawaii as a testing ground for their genetically modified organism (GMO) experiments. Due to Hawaii's remote location and year-round growing season, these companies believe we are the perfect place for these tests to occur, because if something were to go wrong, its effects would be contained here. We will not stand to be used by genetic engineering companies for their profit any longer. Get GMO test crops out of Hawaii.
