In response to Kiah Murray's The Green Movement

        I too am an avid supporter of helping our environment in any way possible. I think everyone made one conscience effort to make their daily lives more economically friendly than we would not need to worry about the future safety of our planet. I was recently driving through a part of Ohio with a friend to see his home. As soon as we entered his home town he was furious with all the construction and torn down greenery in his home town. He told us about all the times he would walk through the woods and climb trees as a kid, and now this woods was replaced with big business such as Cosco and Walmart. I believe our country cares more about big business than the big picture. And if this mindset is transferred to our youth, it will be a long time before we see any change in the status of our environment. I also spent the summer in a foreign country as did Kiah. I went to Germany for the summer and found that as did Kiah in Spain, Europe has made much more of an effort to recycle, incorporate solar energy, and use bikes instead of cars to help their environment.
