Misunderstandings About Our Environment

From a global standpoint, there are many misunderstandings about our environment. Many of the situations not healthy for humans are good for other creatures on this Earth. The EPA seems to focus only on humans which is a very narrow perspective.

Recently the EPA deemed CO2 as a serious environmental hazard. Plants are required to have it in order to produce the nutrients (sugars) they need to survive. Smog is unsightly to us but the NO2 combines with water to form nitrate salts that fall to the ground and are again used by plants as nutrients.

Humans are not alone on this planet and it is important to remember that.
