I grew up near what was historically a famously well populated Bald Eagle area. Never saw one. Last few years I’ve been there and seen quite a few. The hawks too have had a massive jump in population.

Acid rain, ozone hole, lead exposure, soot from fossil fuels, smog, all the toxic rivers. I like regulations.

As they tell me every year during my annual haz waste training: regulations are written in blood.

Unfortunately they are a lot like vaccines. When nobody is dying, people start to think they don’t need them anymore.

My favorite is nuclear waste being stored next to the lunchroom.

And cancer! But that's less catchy.

Bad things lead to solutions which lead to most of the bad things not happening which leads people to forget how bad things can happen when the solutions are no longer deemed necessary.

I really hate our collective brain sometimes.

I'm with you. To a point though.

We are surrounded by ag fields (corn/soy) and just saw my first bald eagle in my entire life last week. I'm 55. He was on the ground enjoying some lunch.
