But......Most of us do believe strongly in Global Warming and for years we have reused, reconditioned, saved, recycled and worn clothes until they faded or wore out. We don't take Aluminum throw aways to pot lucks and many of us drive Hybrid cars. We save our money and we try to take care of our possessions and keep them both clean and working. Our parents sent our lunches in Wonder bread sacks and we used bread bags inside our boots too, when we were small. I don't think that most of us are unaware of the causes of Climate change but we just do not see a plausible way to stop it as the world is involved and people will not soon give up gas engines. They are used to manufacture things we all need. It is a very difficult thing to try to solve. But some of us carry reusuable bags to the grocery and some of us reuse the plastic bags for when we walk the dog.

Gracie, I think I see that you really believe one person, even doing something seemingly minor, can have an impact on the world. When you reuse a grocery bag I say thank you instead of saying "what about all the billions of other people that aren't reusing" But you don't seem to see how every little step to decrease greenhouse gases is also helpful, even if India or China doesn't take every measure we can afford to take.
And... I am certain that the no environmental controls "is" was written the way it should have been as there is a presumed antecedent phrase...
(A policy of ) no environmental controls is coming.
