He defers to economic interests over the public health, to executive agencies over the Congress, and to secrecy over the public's right-to-know, ... He's always tweaking the facts to the benefit of insiders. Carl Pope More Carl Pope Quotes 0
We have some reluctance because we believe the details are terribly important. We believe quite clearly this plan is not the final solution, because it still does rely very heavily on people driving their cars, and there are still going to be too many industrial facilities in the park.

He gets credit in having turned Bill Clinton into a real believer on climate change. Bush has said he needs to be judged by Texas, and if you judge him by Texas, the record is appalling. Carl Pope More Carl Pope Quotes 0
Sometimes, you can get a really attractive piece of public property by trading it out. So, some land swaps have clearly been in the public interest, and you don't want to have a moratorium too long because you miss out on the ones that would be in the public interest.

No community deserves to be left at risk of wildfire. The Forest Service should focus its people and resources on Community Protection Zones, not let them be diverted to low-priority backcountry projects. Carl Pope More Carl Pope Quotes 0
While we salute and celebrate this progress, we cannot afford to gamble with the bears' future. Carl Pope More Carl Pope Quotes 0
When environmentalists say the human (impact) is just too large, people will suspect we are saying the human footprint is just too dark. Carl Pope More Carl Pope Quotes 0
This guy is a bully. Bullies are people who say, 'If you don't do what I want, I'll hurt you,' or, 'If you don't do what I want, I'm going to take all my marbles and go home.' That's exactly who Ted Stevens is. Carl Pope More Carl Pope Quotes 0
What this contest proves to me is that average people can solve problems better than our corporate and political leaders. Carl Pope More Carl Pope Quotes 0
Gale Norton was an unpopular symbol of unpopular policies. Americans do not believe their public lands should be sold to the highest bidder, and they don't believe in privatizing their parks, forests, monuments. While the symbol of those unpopular policies may be leaving, we don't expect those unpopular policies to change. Carl Pope More Carl Pope Quotes 0
Having previously represented oil, mining, and timber companies in her private life, Norton consistently gave those interests special treatment while pulling agencies she oversaw away from their role as stewards of the land. Carl Pope More Carl Pope Quotes 0
President Bush nominated someone who has consistently opposed protecting public health and public lands. American families deserve an interior secretary who actually values our natural heritage. America deserves someone who will promote safe energy policies that protect sensitive lands and wildlife habitat, instead of giving over our public lands to developers and the oil and gas companies.

We deeply regret that some Senators are still willing to do Big Oil?s bidding, and we now turn to the House where the Arctic drilling scheme should be dead on arrival. Americans are clamoring for a clean Congress and a clean energy plan, but sadly they were shortchanged on both today. Carl Pope More Carl Pope Quotes 0
We thank those Senators, both Republican and Democrat, who stood firm against tremendous pressure from the Bush administration, pro-drilling members of Congress and their allies in the oil industry. They recognize that the budget is an inappropriate place to decide controversial national policy matters like America's energy policy. We urge all members of Congress to remain steadfast in their belief that the vast, unspoiled wilderness of America?s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is more than a line item in the Federal Budget. Carl Pope More Carl Pope Quotes 0
We applaud those in Congress who have refused to let drilling proponents manipulate them and the democratic process. Although there are some still willing to do Big Oil?s bidding, the drilling lobby and their allies will be hard-pressed to keep Arctic drilling in the budget knowing that it is dead on arrival in the House.

Wal-Mart's new commitments to increase efficiency and reduce pollution and waste are important first steps for a company that has such a profound impact on our environment. More companies should take these positive steps towards safer and healthier communities. Carl Pope More Carl Pope Quotes 0
The senators go home and find out, if they vote for this stuff, then the voters are going to be upset. Their own voters don't like it. Carl Pope More Carl Pope Quotes 0
