I wouldn't call you an Environmentalist . . . . . . but I've composted yard and kitchen waste since I don't remember. And I'm an avid birdwatcher. Rush would probably call me an 'environmental wacho.'
Here in Nothern Virginia, they are about six years into an eight year project called the Springfield Interchange. When completed it will be about 26 lanes wide and will incorporate the Beltway, I-95, I-395, and associated HOV lanes. I believe you'll need a pilot's license for one of the 'flyovers.' Some projections show continued gridlock for both rush hours when it is all completed.
LOL! I think many conservatives knee-jerk and run away at the mention of conservation or environmental. This is due to 30-40 years of abuse by the Wacko's that base their environmentalism on junk science and uneconomically policies. It was OK until Clinton became President and then they got a strong voice in the Federal Government. Now its hard to dislodge them. Funny thing is, my Best Friend who is a traditional Democrat(not a Marxist) is a Concrete the World member. He is also a Bush Hater. Essentially he is a walking paradox since most Bush Haters are from the Marxist side of the Democrats Party and most Democrats are "Way To" environmental.
