what does all of this talking among laypeople really going to do anyway - rather focus on the changes one can make in one's personal life - use public transportation and educate others to conserve energy in whatever form and to protect the environment. I think it would be a great idea if people her simply made a point of organizing people to pick up trash in visible areas so the locals become "aware" of the problem and therefore be less likley to throw trash on the ground. One could also set up a small business of recycling oil from auto shops and having it reprocessed instead of being dumped, untreated with all of it's contaminents into the local watershed where it inevitably will make it's way to the water treatment plants that process the water we drink.
