Pollution Quotations | Page 2

Each country has already begun to identify a portfolio of actions to improve their energy security, reduce pollution and cut their greenhouse gases. What we are going to do with the partnership is find some alignment of those strategies so we can expand and promote investment in technologies that will help meet those goals.

it would cost power plants about $3 billion to clean up. It's estimated that the costs of the pollution in the air to New York are $60 billion in terms of all of the loss and corrosion and everything else that occurs.

Think about 1,500 miles. Trucks and airplanes and how much pollution is put into the air to do that, to get your food here. Your salad today traveled about 20 feet to get to you.

The worst environmental pollution in the country is coming, highlighted by frequent occurrence of major pollution incidents.

The scalp doesn't normally get exposed to the sun and elements as much as the face does, but with more pollution in the air and more styling products being used that can clog follicles, the scalp is affected.

These programs require far greater pollution reductions than does the NSR program. The simple truth is that the air is only going to get cleaner.

These federal environmental laws were designed to help keep peace among the states, to give them a way to address upstream pollution problems coming from their neighbors. In Louisiana, pollution comes as far away as Wyoming and Minnesota.

The Sierra Club endorses Vice President Gore because he is committed to cutting air and water pollution and protecting our nation's treasured forests and wildlands.

Texas is failing to meet federal environmental clean air standards and therefore there is pressure to lower pollution from these facilities. Gov. Bush has taken a position that they should do so through a voluntary program.

This is even more evidence of the clear link between vehicle pollution and respiratory illness. We must do everything we can to take high-polluting vehicles off the road.

This is a states' rights and children's rights health issue. Clean air and a vibrant economy go hand in hand. It means Colorado has the right to do what is best for our own citizens and the tourism industry that is so dependent on a clean environment. This bill protects us from the very real costs of air pollution - lost tourism, children with asthma and children with learning disabilities caused by mercury poisoning.

This is the first time that we have measured the pollution and measured the effects,

This is the downside of the lack of pollution in New Zealand.

This durable, patented low-cost filter design bridges the gap between low-efficiency diesel-oxidation catalysts and expensive, heavily catalyzed particulate filters. The wire-mesh filter system is designed to work synergistically with a fuel-borne catalyst (FBC) for reliable performance. This combined FBC/CWMF technology is especially suited to solving the challenging problem of delivering a reliable pollution control solution which can be easily retrofitted for the older, higher-emission diesel engines expected to be in service for years to come. CDT will be offering licensing opportunities and technology transfer programs for the CWMF technology to establish manufacturing and distribution partnerships that meet worldwide retrofit and original equipment manufacturer needs.

There's a lot at stake. This generation can transform coal used for burning - one of the dirtiest industrial activities on the planet - to, ironically, being one of the cleanest fuels from an air pollution standpoint.

This is a victory for public health. It makes no sense to allow huge multi-million-dollar projects that drastically increase air pollution without installing up-to-date pollution controls or even notifying nearby residents.

It should be the responsibility of every polluter to make amends and pay compensation for the pollution they cause.

The benefits of making 40 miles per gallon the standard for all autos in the United States are obvious to Americans: Consumers save money; we reduce our dangerous reliance on Middle East oil, making us more secure in the world; air pollution is reduced; and we can cut the U.S. contribution to global warming by nearly a third,

The air pollution data was collected by the Environmental Protection Agency for regulatory purposes. Weather data was collected from the National Climatic Data Center, and the mortality data is from the National Center for Health Statistics.

It's clear that the Department of Natural Resources will force utilities to reduce their emissions to offset the new pollution created by the ethanol mandate.

These paintings originally were painted for people who just wanted to relax and escape the realities of their world, like pollution and overpopulation. And they still offer us a tremendous escape.

Instead of forcing new, draconian vehicle emission standards on Oregonians, why not take the high road and encourage cleaner cars and fuel? ...

We should tax things we don't like. We should tax pollution ... And we should lighten the taxes on things we do like, like honest labor, like food.

Because cap and trade is enforced through the selling and trading of permits, it actually perpetuates the pollution it is supposed to eliminate.

You can see it, you can taste it. It hits you right in the face. You get behind an old school bus and you know it.

These are among the largest and most dangerous under-regulated sources of pollution in the United States. It is within EPA's power to avoid most of these premature deaths as well as most of the other adverse health consequences.

This is like saying we need to have a stricter speed limit, but for now everyone can go faster. It makes no sense to allow pollution to increase when you're saying you need stronger protection.

Ordinary Americans can't pollute for free. You can't dump your trash on the sidewalk or throw all your refuse into your neighbor's yard.
