The best way to protect our enviornment is through private conservation like the Santa Catalina Island Conservancy, Big Game Ranches in Africa, etc. When individuals care about or have a vested interest in the ecology of their own property, they will take great care of it. And if your neighbor is polluting your private property, you have a legitimate claim against him. Beyond that you eliminate the need for the EPA (whose 2009 budget in brief of $7 billion, 78 pages). The saved money is given back to us through tax breaks and we in turn support causes we care about. For me, big cats and suburban hiking trails.

McCain's use of Pascals Wager with regards to political solutions to climate change is completley faulty in its premises by claiming that there are only two options. Free market enviormentalism meets everyone's needs. Check it out here http://www.perc.org/ and here http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/environment/
