Well, y'all:

Is there no room for a conservative conservationist on this list? For one, I'm forever grateful that we have a Bush in the Whitehouse. There was enough gore on 9/11. :')

Let's keep the politics on another list please.

Thanks,
Ron McCluskey

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"

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
