Environmentalists have made a cottage industry out of bashing the Bush administration, but trying to boot Republicans out of office is not the way to ensure a clean, green environment, argues Martha Marks, cofounder of Republicans for Environmental Protection. Only when both major political parties dedicate themselves to a cause do Americans see meaningful, permanent change, Marks says. As long as the environmental community reflexively backs one party and aggressively demonizes the other, responsible environmental stewardship won't become a two-party issue -- or a reality. Instead, Republicans and Democrats should have to compete for the votes of people who care about conservation. Read about the movement to create a Green Old Party, on the Grist Magazine website.
