1. 9...

...the environment is the biggest story. We only have one planet to live on. We have to take care of it, or it will no longer sustain us. Nothing else is important to our survival than the environment.

2. Thank you for your post.

This poll is a way to remember the other stories that disappear behind the sensational stuff the GOP-controlled media like to follow believing that there's an "audience" for it.

I agree with you, but I picked the Joe Biden one because I fear it won't be discussed until there is no more time to refute it before the election. Who we elect will effect everything, including the environment.
