how has arnold schwarzenneger helped the environment?

Arnold only stated campaigning for environmental issues after his special election failed, and his approval ratings dropped. He is using that as a strategy to appeal to Independent and Democratic voters. \n\nPhil Angelides is supported by the Sierra Club. They said he would be the "greenest Governor CA has ever had". Phil has said he will block any attempt at offshore drilling. He has expressed support in protecting the CA Coastline.

I hear he was actually a bad governer.  Hes not doing real well.  Last time i checked, his approval ratings were 33%.  A quote from arnold in that source: "If I were to make another teminator, I would go back in time and Tell Arnie not to run for governer."

I'm glad that this issue has arosen again.  We had some many concerns back in the 80's and early 90's about the environment.  However, it seem that we got a little busy with our owe lives. But this movie really hit hard and I hope that alot of people really consider the issues.  And no, we should no wait for a government to do something about it.  We are bigger then the government and the government is to answer to our needs.  Just remember that we all can make a difference.

save our earth by pollution!!---\n\nPollution began to draw major public attention in the United States between the mid-1950s and early 1970s, when Congress passed the Noise Control Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the National Environmental Policy Act.\n\nBad bouts of local pollution helped increase consciousness. PCB dumping in the Hudson River resulted in a ban by the EPA on consumption of its fish in 1974. Long-term dioxin contamination at Love Canal starting in 1947 became a national news story in 1978 and led to the Superfund legislation of 1980. Legal proceedings in the 1990s helped bring to light Chromium-6 releases in California--the champions of whose victims, such as Erin Brockovich, became famous. The pollution of industrial land gave rise to the name brownfield, a term now common in city planning. DDT was banned in most of the developed world after the publication of "Silent Spring".\n\nThe development of nuclear science introduced radioactive contamination, which can remain lethally radioactive for hundreds of thousands of years. Lake Karachay, named by the Worldwatch Institute as the "most polluted spot" on earth, served as a disposal site for the Soviet Union thoroughout the 1950s and 1960s. Nuclear weapons continued to be tested in the Cold War, sometimes near inhabited areas, especially in the earlier stages of their development. The toll on the worst-affected populations and the growth since then in understanding about the critical threat to human health posed by radioactivity has also been a prohibitive complication associated with nuclear power. Though extreme care is practiced in that industry, the potential for disaster suggested by incidents such as those at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl pose a lingering specter of public mistrust. One legacy of nuclear testing before most forms were banned has been significantly raised levels of background radiation.\n\nInternational catastrophes such as the wreck of the Amoco Cadiz oil tanker off the coast of Brittany in 1978 and the Bhopal industrial disaster in 1984 have demonstrated the universality of such events and the scale on which efforts to address them needed to engage. The borderless nature of the atmosphere and oceans inevitably resulted in the implication of pollution on a planetary level with the issue of global warming. Most recently the term persistent organic pollutant (POP) has come to describe a group of chemicals such as PBDEs and PFCs among others. Though their effects remain somewhat less well understood owing to a lack of experimental data, have been detected in various ecological habitats far removed from industrial activity such as the arctic, demonstrating bioaccumulation after only a relatively brief period of widespread use.\n\nGrowing evidence of local and global pollution and an increasingly informed public over time have given rise to environmentalism and the environmental movement, which generally seek to limit human impact on the environment.

There is a huge problem with the pollution. I don't want to start glowing bright green. With Nuclear power plant comes Nuclear targets for the enemy too. You can't hide them, they glow in the dark.

Excuse me Sir, Gore's not going to run for anything, or from anything! His current interests and concerns will not be politically of interest and must be considered at a much higher level   of consciousness.  Save the environment is the best way, the only way for Mammals and the likes of us to live here, anyway.Check out the truth about Earth the Blue Planet.Really, forget everything for just a moment; now take a breath and hold it. HOLD IT! Now, what must you have at once or you will die! You got it, that's great for now, but remember the air those west Virginia miners eventually died from, is right around the corner.

The only thing good Arnold has done is actually work with the Democratic Legislature (which he should have done in the first place) before going against them and spent millions on a "Special Election" where voters were against all of his bond measures.\n\nPhil Angelides did good when he was chairman on the CA Democratic party. He helped elect Diane Finestein and Barbara Boxer, and Bill Clinton to office in 1992 when they said it would never happen.

Well I would have to say, the consumers, the growers, and ironically enough, the environmentalists.\n\nConsumers benefit from lower prices, bigger, healthier food, and less pesticides.\n\nThe growers benefit from greatly enhanced yields and a reduced need for toxic & costly pesticides.\n\nAnd finally, the enviros benefit in two ways.  The mature, intelligent ones benefit because greater yields means less farmland needed to grow the same amount of food, and also fewer pesticides used is better for the environment.  Meanwhile, the more ignorant and teeth-gnashing enviros benefit from biotech because they have another cause to protest and another means of whining about how totally evil capitalism is.\n\nEver read "Liberation Biology" by Ronald Bailey?  It's a fantastic book about biotech.  It looks at not just crop biotech but also medical biotech like gene therapy & stem cell research.  The book is all about both the technologies themselves (and let me tell ya, there's some pretty amazing stuff in the pipeline), and about the moral & ethical implications of it.  The book is written for the educated layman; it's not really technical, but has hundreds of footnotes & references included to back up what he says about biotech.

dude arnold was awesome in that movie.  you just knew that if he can take down predator, being president would be a snap.

Dude,\n\n1st off, thanks for serving in the Marines! As soon as you realize that environmentalism is the new communism, you'll understand their motivations for stopping all sorts of energy production. Energy means progress, progress means economic development and economic development means some get rich and the lazy get left behind. These people are the lazy and they see themselves being left behind and must lash out at the rest of us.\n\nBe patient my friend. They're having abortions thus, eliminating themselves from the gene pool. Have children and raise them as competitors and Americans. We will eventually beat their asses back into the stone age where they prefer to live.

Did the oil companies destroy the environment?  Really?  The environment is destroyed?  Have you been to eastern Europe?  I have, and let me tell you, our environment is not even close to being destroyed.  The environments over there are WAY worse off than they are here, and guess what?  All that destruction was done by their governments under communism (not by 'greedy' companies)!  And who do you think is driving the oil industry anyway?  Everyone who buys fuel, or anything made out of plastic or other oil products, or buys something shipped with oil burning methods is driving it.  You need to learn some basic economics and think about things holistically to see the real forces that drive things.  Good luck with that.\nOur judicial system will never be cleaned up as long as it has so much power.  It is a law of nature that power attracts the corrupt.  If you want a judicial system that is corruption free, you need to drastically reduce its power over the people.  Most people look at government and its branches as a benevolent big brother rather than the necessary evil that great men like Ben Franklin and Jefferson did.  The bigger and more powerful it gets, the more corrupt it will get, period.

On April 22, 1970, people across the country united to validate the importance of the environment and take action. Earth Day was initiated by Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, who said he was determined to "forcibly thrust the issue of environmental quality and resources conservation into the political dialogue of the nation." He manifested the nation’s environmental cause through what started as a 'teach-in' to protest the government’s environmental ignorance. His accomplishment in the environmental arena eventually led to fundamental legislation, including the Environmental Policy Act (1969), the Clean Air Act (1970), the Clean Water Act (1977) and fuel efficiency standards for automobiles.\n\nFor over 30 years, on April 22nd, millions of people have united to heed this urgent call to action and celebrate the environment. Earth 911 has taken the mission of Earth Day and made it an everyday opportunity by offering information and resources available to protect the environment in every community in the United States and Canada. \n\n[For any more information on it, you can check my source below. Hopefully this helps you!]

Yes!  I believe strongly in environmental issues.  I'm not really a tree-hugger, and I don't blow up Humvees on my weekends.  I simply believe that global warming is one of the biggest dangers facing our country.  Far more so than terrorism. \n\nIf I had the ear of US lawmakers, I would encourage them to follow California's rules, forcing carmakers to manufacture vehicles with lower emissions and higher fuel efficiency.  \n\nI would fine companies that pollute commiserate to the amount required to clean up the pollution plus a punative fine that would be calculated upon the amount of money that they saved by causing the pollution to begin with. \n\nIE: Acme dumps acetote into the drains, which go into our rivers because they don't want to pay $1500/mo for proper disposal.  They would be fined the amt of $$ to clean up the mess, plus the $1500/mo for however many months they've been destroying the environment.\n\nIt's just fair.  A person can't get away with this sort of stuff, so why should our corporations?
