Should the U. S play a more active roll in international environmental efforts

As one of the largest industrialized nations, the United States does have a responsibility to the environment. Unfortunately, we don't usually place a priority on environmental issues if they oppose business interests. We refuse to sign international treaties that pledge environmental responsibility, for example. The Kyoto Treaty comes to mind. We have not developed alternatives to fossil fuels, even though we supposedly have the most innovative and advanced minds in the world.

I think that it is important for the United States to play an active role in environmental issues. I agree with #6 in regards to the amount of power the United States has. While we are a very powerful nation, it is important that many nations are involved, it is after all a global effort.

I completely agree as would most people that the U.S. should have a more active role in helping the environment. Our country and China are the biggest oil consumers out of any other country in the world, so it is our responsibility to work on possible solutions NOW, and start putting them into an active role. I am sick of all the talk, talk, talk, we have talked about alternative energy, and finding renewable resources, but very little has been done to start making a global impact. We are killing the islands in the Pacific as we speak by becoming a factor in global warming. Because of our massive amounts of pollution, we are one of the main reasons global warming is rapidly increasing, and because of this such island nations in the Pacific are already seeing damage to their crops and waters rising into villages. 2009 has to be the year to stop all the talking, and start the action! I hope Obama will play a vital role in the action part, as he talked about many times on his campaign.
