    This is a joke. Reminds me of mitigating wetlands lost to a shopping center development by installing a detention basin.

  2. TPageCO says:

    The part of this I find most irritating is that the funds are coming from the feds (us taxpayers), not from the companies trashing the place…

  3. Ecco says:

Quote

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."

~ Edward Abbey
