My screen name is my real name also...but people still think I'm a man sometimes (I think its the Greek God reference)...I'm suprised that the site is female dominated as traditionally literature seems to have a rather male focus..especially in terms of Authors..don't you think?Quote:

Driving ATVs have very little effect on the environment...hunting wild creatures help control wildlife population (ask any wildlife conservationist)...and you can learn many things by experience in addition to reading...Quote:

ATVs contribute around 58% of all annual emissions for recreational vehicles in the US. That's 8% of nitrous oxides and almost 5% of CO2 for total onroad and offroad vehicles, in their entirety.Quote:

The first time you said that you put in brackets 'ask any wildlife conservationist'. Well, I'm an environmental scientist whose studied wildlife conservation and been taught by a few of them and I'm telling you that they are not a cure for species overpopulations or imbalances in predator-prey populations. They are a short term solution, kind of like carbon offsetting.Quote:

All published science is peer-reviewed before being published. It's not just one scientist or one teams findings going straight to print.Quote:
