Foundations of Environmental Thought

Recent public polls indicate that we aren't the only ones who are concerned about the environment and how it is being treated. 50 percent of the surveyed Americans show a concern for water pollution, while 75 percent of those surveyed show concern for things such as; acid rain, nuclear waste, and of course global warming. Concern for the environment hasn't always been this evident. So what has caused such an uproar amongst American people in the recent past? It's the politicians says Steiguer, author of Foundations of Environmental Thought. We are all guilty of gluing ourselves to the television during times of election and economic turmoil, and the environment has recently become a major topic of discussion amongst our politicians. This raised public awareness about the environment, in my opinion, is a great thing. The more the public knows, the more that environmental issues will be looked at, and hopefully fixed.
