Environmental Damage From The Hot Air Station

An environmental economy is no longer seen - if it were even considered - as viable.  Our right to a harmonious existence with nature is now overshadowed by the daily air quality report.  When corporate mouthpieces force feed us absurdities whose sole design is to protect the company bottom line, our slow death is assured.  
These absurdities include the stance that a belief in environmental destruction due to uranium mining near the Grand Canyon is in itself an absurdity.  Located “within 10 or 15 miles of the north rim of the Grand Canyon” translates into non-justification over concern of environmental changes to one of the great wonders of the natural world.  Would that be 10, or 15?  There is no justification for concern “by any stretch of the imagination,” so states Ron Hochstein of Denison Mines.  No justification whatsoever. 
What is our bottom line, as a world civilization?  When will we begin to effect change in that global civilization?  What are we, as a consumer driven society, willing to live without?
At what point is health the bottom line, not just ours, but the natural environment that is our home?  In a world so full of so many natural born losers, it’s no wonder we’re fighting a losing battle.
