Think Agenda 21 is a myth? Think again. Here is an excerpt from the website: Significant areas susceptible to desertification comprise approximately 37% of the United States. Numerous federal, state and local land use plans have been prepared for areas susceptible to desertification. These plans generally fall into three broad categories: functional or sector-specific plans, such as highway construction plans; resource specific plans, such as plans to manage fishery resources or plans to reduce soil erosion; and local comprehensive land use plans. The US has only begun to undertake planning on an ecosystem-wide basis. There are no national or regional plans or strategies to combat desertification. The impact of improper farming, land use, natural causes and water withdrawals on desertification is modest. Grazing has a moderate impact; fuel wood collection is insignificant. Improper grazing practices in the 1800s and early 1900s resulted in the degradation of large areas of the western part of the United States. These areas have been slow to recover. They are slowing taking over everything and this is done at the local level (city and county), so this is where we need to bring the awareness to. ~PH un.org/esa/agenda21/natlinfo/countr/usa/natur.htm
