Cutting down on the pollution would mean major changes in some would not like this at all--to go to natural resources would mean alot of people that hold the moeny would fight this I don't know if it would be possible--to get a certain people to cut things out which causes pollution and have done such damage already to the earh because this is there lively hood plus such big change reaction on the smaller levels --would mean their jobs it would be such a converting over that would take a long long time and we do not I don't think have this time as far as our enviroment---It would almost half to go into more like a crash situation--we have regulations on these big industial and oil -and also the plants that make chemicals of all kinds--and others---but it is not enough---the solution so far we have in what I would call small leaps and bounds--coming up with new things in this area that helps...no one will cry uncle--and say ok ---I will make the first big step in leading the way...The health care needs to be put in check--in price and wasteful --and that would be a great feat of changing that system and how would we cutting the prices to a normal balance--Housing is way out of hand--so much it has contributed to low level living to a point of no return--Even the average home owner is over sale...and I think this is all I have to say about this
