People, corporations, and the government can all have impacts, however it is best to regulate impacts at the corporate and governmental levels.

People are dumb they do stupid things and when they do it nothing happens at the time, but eventually the dumb things like throwing things down or smoking will either effect the ocean or air, espically young students whi are uneducated.

 @9HBNJVSRepublican from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

I believe that the environment is fine like it is.

 @9HB8G2FRepublican from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

Individuals are responsible to an extent but society as a whole needs to shift in a more environmentally friendly direction which requires mass cooperation and/or governmental or corporate influences.

 @9HBNHNR from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

I think that the government should make more changes, but the people and individuals can also change.

 @9H9ST8HRepublican from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

I think people should take it upon themselves to help out the environment, as well as the government helping a little.

 @9HBYHD3Republican from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

Change is a good thing, but it's better to stick with traditional.

 @9HBYLDF from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

I think that the government is trying to kill us all and that they don't care about us. I agree with Andrew Tate about most of the stuff he says especially the "matrix"

 @9SPYWTS from Georgia  answered…10mos10MO

Changes need to made on the government and corporate level.

 @9SMGGJ4 from Georgia  answered…10mos10MO

Individual actions certainly have a measurable, and large impact on the environment. This does not retract from the importance of governmental and corporate changes to be made.

 @9SHN693Socialist from Georgia  answered…10mos10MO

The most important changes must be made at the corporate level

 @9R23FBF from Georgia  answered…11mos11MO

I belief anyone can hace a positive impact on our Environment, and the Government should be invoved as well.

 @9QBP4ZH from Georgia  answered…12mos12MO

Yes and no, but individual speaking the truth about our environment then their voice should be heard

 @9QBP4ZH from Georgia  answered…12mos12MO

I feel it should be held at the government or corporate level, but we as a people should be able to give our opinion

 @9Q4M4DQDemocrat  from Georgia  answered…12mos12MO

There can be changes a all levels of Government when an impact makes a change to the well being of the people's.

No One’s Safe: Trump’s ‘Border Czar’ Homan Promises Sweeping Deportation Operation

TOM COTTON is slated to be the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, putting “I think mass deportation is just talk, but the era of open borders will be over,” Scott McConnell, a co-founder of The American Conservative, wrote on X. In July a Mexican-born Trump backer told The Times, “Last time, he didn’t even finish the wall. What’s he going to do this time?”Now the answer is taking shape: He’s going to oversee a militarized mass roundup of the undocumented. On Sunday, Trump named Tom Homan, his former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as “border czar.”In a speech to this year’s National Conservatism Conference, Homan, who oversaw Trump’s family separation policy, promised a “historic deportation operation” from which no undocumented immigrant would be safe. “No one’s off the table in the next administration,” he said. “If you’re here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder.”Then, on Monday, Trump named the obsessively anti-immigrant Stephen Miller as his deputy chief of staff. Miller’s portfolio, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reported in The Times, “is expected to be vast and to far exceed what the eventual title will convey.” Miller has been forthright about his desire to purge immigrants here illegally, as well as many here legally, from the United States.Among other things, Miller has said that Trump would cancel the temporary protected status of thousands of Afghans who fled here after the Taliban’s takeover and take another stab at ending DACA, the program that protects from deportation some immigrants brought to the United States as children.Most significantly, he’s laid out plans to use National Guard troops to help arrest migrants en masse, warehousing them in military camps while they await deportation. No one should be shocked when this happens. I suspect some will be anyway.

Hegseth Out, DeSantis In? Trump Rethinks Defense Pick

President-elect Donald Trump is considering Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a possible replacement for Pete Hegseth, his pick to run the Pentagon, according to people familiar with the discussions, amid Republican senators’ concerns over mounting allegations about the former Fox News host’s personal life.Picking DeSantis, a 2024 GOP primary rival for the presidency, would amount to a stunning turn for Trump. But he would also find in the governor a well-known conservative with a service record who shares Trump’s—and Hegseth’s—view on culling what they see as “woke” policies in the military.Trump allies increasingly think Hegseth might not survive further scrutiny, according to people close to the president-elect’s team, which considers the next 48 hours to be crucial to his fate.DeSantis, who served as a Navy lawyer in Iraq and the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, was on an earlier list of potential defense-secretary candidates that transition officials presented to the president. Trump ultimately went with Hegseth. But as Hegseth’s nomination has faltered, that list has been revived and DeSantis is again among the choices Trump is considering, the people said.The discussions are in their early stages, one of the people said, adding that Trump has floated DeSantis’s name in casual conversations with guests at Mar-a-Lago, his private Florida club.Trump could decide not to choose DeSantis and select another replacement, if Hegseth’s nomination falls apart, the people said. Another potential defense-secretary candidate who has been discussed by Trump allies, according to people familiar with the matter, is Elbridge Colby, a former Pentagon official and ally of Vice President-elect JD Vance. Trump is also considering Sen. Joni Ernst (R., Iowa) for the job, some of the people said.DeSantis was once seen as an acolyte of Trump but his decision to challenge the former president in the 2024 GOP primary began a conflict between them, with Trump casting DeSantis as disloyal. Trump easily prevailed in the primary and friends of the two have worked to repair the relationship.
