Congressional Subsidies Supporting Natural Resources Depletion and Destruction Must Be Stopped

Many thousands of representatives of mining, timber, oil, chemical, corporate agri-business, and manufacturing continually lobby Congress. They lobby for legislation supporting the depletion of natural resources -- water, forests, national forests, productive estuaries and bays, rivers and streams, and numerous other ecologically vibrant natural-capital holdings on federal lands. Campaign contributions encourage greedy and corrupt congressional members to bow to the whims of these money-giving suitors.

The "give-away" of productive lands, bodies of water, and natural resources is done to the detriment of U.S. taxpayers and future generations.

When the price for depleting and contaminating natural resources and destroying eco-systems is ignored and hidden by subsidies, the price we actually pay for virgin-material products is hidden.

• The value of a tree for replenishing oxygen is not tallied into the price of paper.

• The price of losing clean air and chemical-free drinking water is not be seen in our utility bills, but it will appear in future medical and health care insurance bills.

• The price we pay for agricultural products does not account for the loss to future generations of fertile and chemical-free soil.

• Ongoing, massive extinction of other species -- destroying a delicate web of life on Planet Earth -- will cost us and future generations dearly.
