Money is used to run away. That’s why the poor are impacting so much more by environmental issues.

I love the personal way you feel this issue. Curious (?) how money is used to run away from environmental problems. Those who can afford to do so, will choose to live as far away from the poisoned smokes as possible. That causes a devaluation of property near the factories, and a price rise elsewhere. I am sure that, if my family had to live in Hamilton, in our current income bracket, we’d be breathing in that sulphur dioxide all day long.

For a more “Q&A” approach to this issue, yu may want to see the latest post on A Rocha International’s blog: “Mission: Saving souls or saving seals?” http://blog.arocha.org/post/mission-saving-souls-or-saving-seals/

(Hoping the Canadians can get past the title—the seal hunt being such a hot-button topic over there!)
