Environmental Protection

You conjecture that environmental protection is wrong. I say you are foolish and utterly misguided. Man has unleashed terrors upon this earth that were unimaginable several centuries ago. Think oil spills, nuclear warfare, mass habitat destruction, and terrible pollution. As a student of biology, I know that the balence of nature is fragile and of vital importance. As a student of chemistry, I know how dangerous many chemicals are (e.g., benzene, organomercurics, and fluorides, just to name a few). Many people would like to minimize the danger of what we have done to the earth, but that is wrongheaded. Environmental regulations are the only things that keep you and I from driking water tainted with toulene, breating air laced with lead, and living in a world completely deviod of all but the hardiest creatures. You eschew environmental regulations? I challenge you to a debate!
