1) Migrating birds suffer huge losses just through Mother Nature: through ignorance, Humanity makes these losses even greater.
While loss of any birdlife is regrettable, a reduction in the number of hawks and eagle predators would result in restoring prior small bird populations.
2) We don't need to build alternative energy sources when simple conservation of our present resources could result in significant savings: why not turn out the excessive night-lighting that is consuming huge amounts of power after dark.
With our energy resources stretched so thin today, is it really necessary to illuminate
everything?
