Doesn't have to be Partisan
I hate how caring for the environment has become such a partisan issue for so many people. The fact is there are plenty of people on both side of the political divide who are environmentally conscience. For instance Kiplinger's (a personal finance magazine) recently had a "Green" issue which apparently generated tons of outraged letters from what I imagine is conservative readership for taken a political stance. For this I blame the political right of castigating good environmental stewardship into the realm of the political left. The left is equally to blame for not just allowing to this happen but happily taken ownership of the issue. Environmental stewardship along with Law and Order (which the right has taken ownership) are not political. There is no issue to disagree on. In the end we all want a healthy planet, clean air and water, along with safety. We may disagree with how to best to implement, but there should be no disagreement on what the best outcomes are.
