Years ago, we all talked about recycling and not dumping things down your drain and all of that, but talking doesn't help much. Basically, it's going to have to be legislation because the impact is so huge and diversified.

The planet will survive. Whether we get to be here and enjoy it, or enjoy life as we've known it, is what's questionable.
long heaven together
I had trouble hanging around [Shelley Long] until we stood onstage together, and then I was in heaven.
