I think it is all too much malarky. Let them practice their business as long as it is ethical, China has more emissions than over half the world.

 @9SZ9FKR from Illinois  answered…9mos9MO

I believe that they do have an impact that can be significant but it is more important for changes to be made on a bigger scale such as the government or corporate level

 @9SS5BWF from Illinois  answered…9mos9MO

yes l beclive that individula actions can have a significatiimpact on the evironment

I think we can make a difference in the ecosystems around us but changing a whole environment can be hard unless there is a big team and I think it would be great if the government helped out.

 @9SP4JRM from Illinois  answered…9mos9MO

I believe changes should be made on a corporate and governmental level because it is not the average people who are causing environmental damage it is big businesses and the rich who see private jets etc, while the average person is being blamed

 @9SFJJ35 from Illinois  answered…10mos10MO

its more important for the government to make the choices

 @9SFJ8VQ from Illinois  answered…10mos10MO

I believe that individual actions can have a significant impact on the environment.

 @9SFFTGD from Illinois  answered…10mos10MO

No, I believe that large group actions can have the most impact on the environment.

 @9SFBKPN from Illinois  answered…10mos10MO

Yes I believe that we all have an impact on the enviorment its not just the government

 @9SBTB5W from Illinois  answered…10mos10MO

Individual actions can have a significant impact on the environment, however, having the support from the governmental or the corporate level is also extremely important.

 @9SBBH79 from Illinois  answered…10mos10MO

Both, but only govt has the resources to make big changes

 @9QRKVPY from Illinois  answered…11mos11MO

It’s more important that the government or corporate level.

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.
