Found an interesting series of articles on Always On entitled "Practical Ecology." The first article in the series lists five "environmental myths":

-Being environmentally correct requires a lower standard of living -Any good environmentalist is a socialist -Hydrogen and other renewable energy are the answer to our energy needs -We have to recycle everything -New housing developments must be limited to within existing cities

and the second article in the series lists five more:

-Natural wilderness and biodiversity are sacred -We must have mass transit -There are going to be worldwide energy and water shortages. -There is a population explosion. -If we don't make drastic changes right now, the earth will become uninhabitable

The author, Ed Ring, edits EcoWorld. Very, very interesting site!
