Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let`s not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards.
- Ronald ReaganOn an earthen dam, if you don`t do maintenance and you have vegetation growth, tree roots penetrate into the soil and then it weakens the soil or creates cracks or gaps where water can seep in.
- Michael WongThere`s a balancing act between efficient vegetation management along the right-of-way and community standards for the character of the roadway.
- Michael DonovanDo people want a concrete-lined river like in Los Angeles or a nice river with trees and vegetation? A critical habitat designation means we`d get the nice trees and vegetation.
- David HoganChanges are not only possible and predictable, but to deny them is to be an accomplice to one`s own unnecessary vegetation.
- Gail SheehyVegetation is the basic instrument the creator uses to set all of nature in motion.
- Al BrickerThe developer plans to clear a lot of the vegetation in our backyards which alone is a detriment to our lifestyles. But then there are the size of the homes being planned for this neighborhood. At 1,300-square-feet, they are less than half the size of the average home in the Benjamin Farms development. Allowing something of that size to go in would be equivalent to stealing $50,000 from our property values.
