Germany is among the world leaders when it comes to taking steps to save the environment. But many of the measures are not delivering the promised results. Biofuels have led to the clear-cutting of rainforests, plastics are being burned rather than recycled and new generation lightbulbs have led to a resurgence of mercury production. A SPIEGEL survey

As usual, ordinary Germans were to blame. Everything had been prepared for the green revolution: fresh supplies and new signs at the gas stations, and the refinery depots were full to the brim with the new wonderfuel. But then drivers turned their backs on the new era. They didn't want to buy E10, a blend of ethanol and gasoline, even through it cost almost 10 cents less per liter than conventional gas.


"It's annoying but there's no question of stopping the sale of E10," said Environment Minister Norbert Röttgen. E10, Röttgen said with a hint of threat in his voice, was a milestone of German climate control policy.

When it comes to the environment these days, all other interests must take a back seat, including possible engine damage from E10. After all, the United Nations has proclaimed that ensuring environmental sustainability is one of its "millennium goals," and greater importance is assigned to climate negotiations among the big industrial nations than to economic summits these days.

Hey gremlin, it's time for you to do your part.
"Save a tree, eat a squirrel"?

You've got to teach the tree and the squirrel to get along.
Maybe Hillery can interceed on the part of the tree.
Designate a "No fly zone" for the squirrel.

I agree with Hoser, the "Greenies" agenda is right on track.

How about Rabbit/Squirrel sausage?
Rabbit for volume and flavor, Squirrel for the nutricianal factor.
....and gravy, gotta have gravy.
Rabbit/Squirrel sausage gravy over biscuits.
All of a sudden I'm awful hungry.

Yep I agree, it is working flawlessly to line the pockets of those jerks, take away our rights, not to mention our way of living from fishing to prospecting, and giving all the public land back to the frickin king
