Changes

* [[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 led by Senator [[Jeff Bingaman]] of [[New Mexico]], 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>

* Liberal animal rights opposition to [[hunting]], and cultural changes in which young people idolize "hip" metropolitan postmodern cultural motifs while holding rural and small town values (including hunting and [[gun]] ownership) in disdain, has led to an overpopulation of [[deer]].  Not only is an excess of deer an environmental problem in itself, but it has also caused [[Lyme disease]], formerly a little-known disease spread by deer ticks, to become a serious health problem in recent years in the eastern United States.

* Liberal animal rights opposition to [[hunting]], and cultural changes in which young people idolize "hip" metropolitan postmodern cultural motifs while holding rural and small town values (including hunting and responsible [[gun]] ownership) in disdain, has caused a decline in hunting which in turn has led to an overpopulation of [[deer]].  Not only is an excess of deer an environmental problem in itself, but it has also caused [[Lyme disease]], formerly a little-known disease spread by deer ticks, to become a serious health problem in recent years in the eastern United States.
