* Contraceptive [[birth control]] pills are a serious source of water pollution, and the presence of these chemicals in the environment from being disposed of, often by flushing down the toilet, is harming fish populations and even causing mutations and hermaphroditic fish.<ref>Murray, Iain.  ''The Really Inconvenient Truths''.  Regnery Publishing, 2008.</ref>

* [[Organic]] farming is being promoted by liberal environmentalists.  Organic farming requires 40% more land area to produce the same amount of food as modern, non-organic agriculture.  The wide spread adoption of organic farming will encroach on conservation preserves and open space, and destroy many of them just to be able to feed the people whom modern agriculture feeds now.

* Liberal congressmen pushed an amendment to the 2007 energy bill which will ban the sale of most incandescent [[light bulb]]s by 2014.  The intention of this ban is to force a switch to [[compact fluorescent]] light bulbs (CFL) in the name of reducing energy use.  CFLs contain toxic [[mercury (element)|mercury]], while incandescent light bulbs are free of any toxic chemicals and can be disposed of safely.  CFLs present a toxic hazard if one of them breaks inside a house or on a carpet, and may become a major source of mercury contamination in the water and air from CFLs which will be disposed of in landfills or incinerated.<ref>http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59298</ref>
