This is something that is close to my Heart Teresa, unbelievable greed in my
book, the amount of houses that are going up and standing empty for months,
look at the Sammamish Plato, there are houses that remain empty for 4 years,
they replaced some wetlands that had existed for hundreds of years, the only
thing in my book that you can do is join local conservation groups, maybe
Audubon etc and vote correctly starting with getting this Bush idiot out.



As they say,



"Save the environment, plant a Bush back in Texas"

Subject: human overpopulation



Hi,

Is there any kind of effort going on to do something about humans and
housing developments?

I realize there won't be any kind of effort by the government to discourage
overpopulation since the tax dollars are needed.

But what about the housing developments that are constantly going up
everywhere.

Where I live used to be considered rural, lots of woods, now it's urban,
typical of western Washington.

I can't see any good outcome for insect eating woodpeckers.

Nobody wants dead trees on their property to fall on the house or on the
fence.

Nobody wants carpenter ants in dead trees because they eventually want to
make new colonies in the house.

Problem I may be facing soon, too many are coming in the house this year.

There was a nice wooded area near my house, gone last year, more houses.

Can anything be done to address this problem of woods being destroyed for
houses?

Teresa
