hmm well they sure do help a bit... think about it..if no one had good intentions then where would we be? for the record i said nothing of good intentions, in fact i said "cared". to actually care about something means much more than good intentions. you make sacrafices for something you care about. and you need to learn how to fucking read.

My reading comprehension is already pretty well above average, but thanks for your concern. For instance, in this case good intentions are more all-encompassing than simply caring; caring is implied in good intentions, as well as a desire to affect positive long-term change, i.e., Hitler had good intentions about Germany's long term stability and strength.

your right human waste (along with all feces) can be harmful, but through the right process it can be a very useful resource. but to say "It's an inch removed from nuclear waste." somebody should fucking slap you for saying that. feces (all types) are biodegradable, and the bacteria and fungus in it break it down further. but NUCLEAR waste is not biodegradable. you know, third world countries aren't the only places that use human waste as fertilizers. china has been doing it for hundreds of years and they are damn near the U.S.'s equal. oh yes and the U.S. has been doing it for about 30 years now... you would probably shit yourself if you knew how much human waste fertilizers are being used today for our agriculture. You need to know what the fuck you are talking about and doing.

Human feces is particularly toxic and lends itself to the cultivation of diseases, unsurprisingly, designed to target human beings, unlike the diseases that target ducks or cows or chickens or emus that we don't necessarily care about. That aside from the nature of modern human diets that lends itself to breeding new and pestilent viruses. It's seeing use, after being
heavily treated, in the US primarily because of cities desperate for a little extra surplus and a way to get rid of this shit. It's also heavily opposed wherever it's been tried within the US, which is only in a select few counties and cities.
In what, praytell, is China the USA's equal? Not in population, where they surpass us. Not economically, where we surpass them by perhaps 40% again their GDP with less than a quarter the same population. Certainly not technologically, in human rights or in culture. I can only assume, then, that you mean in terms of landmass. I'm going to rule this irrelevant.

I personally have nothing against fishermen and lumber companies, in fact with out them our economy would be shot. but there are ways to control them...such as aquaculture programs for the frishermen. and it's the self-identified environmentalists that are most needed. they are the ones that stand out the most, sure they may piss some people off (Dark Messiah), but they are the ones who make the biggest impact. they are the ones who reach out to others and teach alternate, sustainable lifestyles.

In everything that I've seen, they're the ones most likely to spend much time preaching, alternately jading the public with hyped up and inflated numbers and 'facts' relating to the eminent doom of the World, and turning people off with self-righteous condemnation. They're the ones least likely to produce a significant and lasting change.
A tourist-based economy reacting to protect the aesthetics of it's enviroment in order to maintain that economy. Precisely my point. Self-preservation breeds a concern for the enviroment much better than Apocryphal guilt trips and overly idealistic, vaguely socialist political movements.

the research link shows the research the school does to make the environment better. we presented our research to top bahamian government personel, top scientists/ecologists, and a dozen college/university professors. not only that but our research has been published in many scientific journals such as :The Carribean Journal of Science. so yes Dark Messiah i do know what the fuck im talking about.

Knowing a problem is not the same as knowing the answer.
