I always assume that we should leave things as we found them, and that includes the earth. We simply have historically understated the cost of doing what we've been doing, by not including the rehab cost.<br />

yes, the rehab cost, knew I was forgetting something, the analysis just seemed too simple; that could change everything.<br /><br />

<br /> It should be a no-brainer to spend what it takes to limit as much as possible our impact on the environment on general principle. <br />

It's only a no-brainer to "spend what it takes" if it's somebody else's money.<br /><br />

<br /> We ought not to need a specific reason to clean up after ourselves.

While I'm not prepared to dispute that point in this particular case, I feel compelled to point out that it's not a universal truth. We don't wash a disposable diaper before throwing it out.

Re: National Biased Company strikes again.

I am unsure of this 'global warming' issue.<br />Down here, we are in severe drought, some areas it's the worst since records were taken.<br />Some months ago I posted that we recieved our 1st decent rain....well.....not had any since. After this November we will be 6 yrs of drought, and our reserves are really low, as in critical.<br />Maybe it is a normal 'thing' to happen. <br />Maybe there are too many of us for resources available, <br />maybe our storage capacity is too low, <br />maybe we should recycle 'all water' for re-use, maybe it is global warming. <br />I wish we knew.<br />I certainly don't want to experience a Cyclone but it is disheartening to see how much H2O you guys are getting, and we have short showers, no gardens; just economising everywhere.<br />Cheers<br />Phillip
