Every four years it comes upon us out of the blue. It seems to me that it is coming sooner and sooner every year. It seems that the 2004 Presidental election has just finished, but it has been three years and the Presidental candidates have been campaigning for about eight months now. This presidental season is as important to the environmental cause as trying to find ways to to save a gallon of gasoline or buying carbon credits. These people, will be part of the process of passing important environmental legislation. Over the course of the last seven years we have had a leader in the White House that seems to me has been paying off political debt to his supporters at the hand of our environment.
What we need to do in the environmental community is is do our research on each political candidate and see how they stand on preserving our environment and conserving our resources. Everyone will have different priorities about the environment. Some people will care more about preventing and reducing the effects of global warming or air pollution, but others out there are more concerned with the beauty of our forests, farmlands and national parks. So whatever your priorities and things you care about, you will need to research how all of the candidates and their policies will affect these treasures.
So the season is just starting but we all have a lot of work to do. We all need to research the candidates so we can determine who we feel is the most qualified to lead our environmental nation.I found this article on this website and I thought it could provide useful for all of you in your decision.http://www.grist.org/feature/2007/07/06/candidates/
