Gabriel kritisiert wachsende Einflussnahme der Wirtschaft auf die Umweltpolitik
Kein Primat der Politik: Gabriel kritisiert wachsende Einflussnahme der Wirtschaft auf die Umweltpolitik (06.06.06)
Bundesumweltminister Sigmar Gabriel kritisiert einen wachsenden Einfluss der Wirtschaft auf den Natur- und Klimaschutz. Die Globalisierung werde in der Umweltpolitik "immer wieder missbraucht, um alle Ansprüche auf eine demokratisch legitimierte Einflussnahme auf wirtschaftliche Prozesse zurückzudrängen", sagte Gabriel am Dienstag in Berlin. Vom Primat der Politik könne oft keine Rede mehr sein. Nötig sei "so etwas wie eine zweite Aufklärung": Nach der Trennung von staatlicher und religiöser Macht gehe es nun um die Rückeroberung des Vorrangs der Politik über wirtschaftliche Einzelinteressen, sagte Gabriel. Staat und Regierung müssten vor der Androhung von Produktionsverlagerungen immer wieder kapitulieren, kritisierte der Minister.

15 REASONS WHY WE SHOULD PLANT TREES
https://www.ridgefieldpark.org/content/50/83/default.aspx
1. Trees store carbon and clean the atmo sphere. In 50 years, one tree generates $30,000 in oxygen, recycles $35,000 of water, and removes $60,000 of air pollution.
2. Tree shade reduces air conditioning costs in residential and commercial buildings by 15-50 percent. Do you need a tree planted to the South or West of your house?
3. Properly placed and cared for trees and shrubs significantly increase residential and commercial property values. Would you like a new tree for your property?
4. Trees provide habitat for a large vari ety of wildlife. Do you like bird songs?
5. Trees connect us with nature and rein force spiritual and cultural values.
6. Trees prevent or reduce water pollu tion in NJ’s streams, rivers, darns, and estuaries.
7. Trees prevent or reduce soil erosion.
8. Trees help recharge ground water and sustain stream flow.
9. Properly placed screens of trees and shrubs decrease traffic noise along NJ’s busy streets and highways. Do you have a site that needs a tree along Rt. 46?
10. Trees screen unsightly views and provide privacy for NJ homeowners.
11. Trees make life more pleasant by softening harsh outlines of buildings.
12. Trees add beauty and grace to any community setting. They make life more enjoyable, peaceful, and relaxing. Do you enjoy walking through Ridgefield Park?
13. Research shows that trees help reduce stress in the workplace and speed hospital patients’ recovery. Do you hear the sighs of relief on NYC buses as they reach RP?
14. Trees provide a multitude of recreation opportunities.
15. Trees, planted as memorials, leave a valuable gift for future generations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Homeowners often ask for assistance with trees that are on their own private property. We manage only the public trees, but we can provide a list of New Jersey Certified Tree Experts with whom we have contact.
The attached document suggests guidelines for selecting an Arborist.
The Shade Tree Commission's sidewalk program is still available for homeowners who wish to repair or replace their sidewalks. Through this program, a homeowner can be reimbursed for some expense incurred due to damage by street trees. Applications are available at the municipal building or by calling 201-641-4950, extension 640.
Mulch can protect a tree by conserving moisture and preventing grass and weeds from growing too close to the trunk. But too much mulch smothers the tree just the same as it smothers the weeds. Mulch belongs around the tree but not against it.

Stop Fueling ExxonMobil's Anti-Wildlife Agenda Take Action on ExxonMobil today!
It’s time to hold ExxonMobil responsible for putting corporate profits over protection of wildlife and wildlife habitat. Join Defenders of Wildlife in urging ExxonMobil to clean up its act.
Fill out the form below to let ExxonMobil know that you will not buy ExxonMobil gasoline unless -- and until -- ExxonMobil abandons its lobbying efforts to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge up to harmful drilling and takes meaningful action to curb global warming, to invest in renewable energy, and to pay for the damages done by the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska.

Take Action on ExxonMobil today!
Dressed in big oil barrels bearing bold white messages like, “Exxon Funds Global Warming Skeptics!” Exxpose Exxon activists are gathering in Dallas today to protest outside ExxonMobil’s annual shareholder meeting.
Even if you can’t be there in person to show ExxonMobil how fed up you are with its dirty practices, you can still participate in the protest by sending a letter to your members of Congress today https://ga3.org/campaign/EE_AGM_May2006 . Ask them to reject any bill that lines ExxonMobil’s pockets with more tax breaks and more oil drilling of our pristine lands and shorelines. The message is simple: If it’s good for ExxonMobil, it’s bad for the country. Your letter will help Congress put every bill before it in the right perspective.
Click here to participate in today’s protest by sending your message to Congress now. https://ga3.org/campaign/EE_AGM_May2006
Right now Congress is buzzing with talk about price gouging at the gas pump and ExxonMobil’s excessive profits and CEO pay packages. This is a crucial moment and it’s very important that your members of Congress hear from you today regarding your feelings about bills that benefit ExxonMobil instead of the American public.
As you likely know, we cannot drill our way out of global warming or our current energy crisis. Unfortunately, ExxonMobil refuses to accept this simple fact and is actually stepping up its efforts to lobby for more drilling in protected places like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. In fact, just this month, after a private meeting with ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, House Speaker Dennis Hastert called on Congress to concentrate on prying open the Arctic Refuge for drilling.
Whether your concern is about global warming, clean air and water, social and environmental justice, human rights, wildlife and pristine land protection, peak oil, or national security – the solution is the same.
Our country must end its dependence on oil and begin the transition to clean and affordable renewable energy sources. ExxonMobil is using its profits and influence to stop that from happening. But we have something greater, we have the powerful voice of the people.
Please join today’s protest by clicking here to send a letter about ExxonMobil to your members of Congress now. https://ga3.org/campaign/EE_AGM_May2006
Then forward this message to all of your friends, family, and co-workers and ask them to do the same.
Thank you for your help.
