We don't have another one to go to, so shouldn't we make a bigger effort to keep it clean and livable? Whether the by-products of our industry are melting the ice-caps or not is a sort of irrelevant. When you can't eat fish for fear of getting Mercury poisoning, then something is severely wrong and we need to take action. I support the <a href="http://www.earthorganization.org/" rel="nofollow">Earth Organization</a> and other environmental groups who are doing something about it.
