Send your environmentalists to take a sample of any roadway. With the

Uh, this IS the goal of environmentalists.

That's silly

As silly as trying to outlaw 5ppb of a "toxin" when the salmon's natural
habitat has 1,000 times that level? Oh, right - that's not silly, it's
sick.


What's silly is that you lump all environmental groups into one comment.
I'll wager that you cannot name 10 such groups and describe the
difference between their goals and approaches.



1) Local County inspector said that concrete seawall being used as fill
was an environmental hazard. I asked him if he knew what concrete was?
He didn't, I informed him that it's oyster shells (limestone) that have
been ground and kiln dried. Then pushing the issue I asked him if oyster
shell are a hazard ( we live in Florida). He then said that concrete has
additives that are a hazard. I informed him that the additives were also
products mined from the earth like Silica (sand) and Gypsum neither of
which are hazards.


How did you happen to converse with this guy? Town meeting?
