Having yet another vote on refinery legislation that uses high oil prices as an excuse to weaken environmental protections and to give more legislative gifts to the oil industry is misguided in the extreme.

Moreover environmental health at the local level has become narrowly focused very much defined around regulations and the attendant regulatory debates.

The infrastructure for linking environmental health and public health is not working as well as it should.

One of the responsibilities faced by the Environmental Genome Project is to provide the science base upon which society can make better informed risk management decisions.

It is important to consider whether the sample size selected by the Environmental Genome Project will provide sufficient power to discover most alleles relevant to gene-environment interactions.

While the Environmental Genome Project does not seek to assign allele frequencies we are aware of the importance of accurate allele frequency estimates for future epidemiologic studies and the large sample sizes such estimates will require.

And secondly I would impose a significant state landfill tipping fee and use that tipping fee to fund the billion dollar bond issue that I want to create to produce the funds for all of the environmental challenges that we just went over.

There are a tremendous amount of environmental issues that are on the table.

Ethanol is a premier high performance fuel. It has tremendous environmental benefits and is a key component to energy independence for our country.

If there are more and more environmental refugees they are going to end up on your doorstep too.

We should restore a proper balance in environmental regulation and energy production that is based on common sense not political agendas.

A variety of factors contribute to the price of gasoline in the United States. These factors include worldwide supply demand and competition for crude oil taxes regional differences in access to gasoline supplies and environmental regulations.

Cities all over the world are getting bigger as more and more people move from rural to urban sites but that has created enormous problems with respect to environmental pollution and the general quality of life.

I align myself with almost all researchers in assuming that anything we do is a composite of whatever genetic limitations were given to us by our parents and whatever kinds of environmental opportunities are available.

Climate change is happening humans are causing it and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.

Address these environmental issues and you will address every issue known to man. And we keep dabbling in things that aren't really that important in the long term.

The environmental movement like all political processes reacts best to disasters. But these are very slow very gradual disasters in the making.

We're not trying to reinvent the wheel for any environmental organization to claim sole responsibility for any kind of victory is insane because everybody attacks these problems as a group.

We have a project with Unocal here in Los Angeles where we as an environmental organization the oil company and the state all get together to promote the recycling of used motor oil.

All living beings not just animals but plants and microorganisms perceive. To survive an organic being must perceive - it must seek or at least recognize food and avoid environmental danger.

But reducing harmful emissions abating our dependence on foreign oil and developing alternative renewable energy sources have benefits that go beyond environmental health they improve personal health enhance national security and encourage our nation's economic viability.

Environmental policy must strike a balance between the earth's best interests and our citizen's pressing needs.

My efforts in Congress are guided by the belief that environmental preservation and restoration are a critical part of the legacy we leave to future generations.

Environmental disaster is the gravest threat to China's continued development. That's according to me but it is not some wacko view.
