Mandy asks…

What’s your reaction to this environmental court ruling?

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/may/27/fireworks-shows-need-environmental-review/

In a nutshell, environmentalists won a court case, which could put an end to a lot of 4th of July fireworks, and even put more regulations on birthday parties held at parks.

Environmentalists want fireworks organizers to submit to an environmental impact study before the government issues a fireworks permit.

Since environmental impacts are very costly and take a long time, there could be a lot of cancellations of fireworks shows.

Your thoughts?
Should we sacrifice a 200+ year tradition because of environmentalism?

As always California leads the way in protecting us from ourselves. I feel safer already.

Daniel asks…

Is this small paragraph grammatically correct?

The following report covers the meeting held by the ____ Planning Commission on February, 2, 2011, which focused on the topic of _____ Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Natural Resources of the city of _____.
The attendance of a Planning Committee meeting is relevant to an Environmental Science course because city council meetings amend laws, develop policies, and ultimately make decisions that have an effect on the community as a whole. One of the fundamental learning outcomes of Environmental Science is to recognize and evaluate the important environmental issues we face today, and how we as individuals affect the environment, whether it is a major or a minor effect.

***The “_____” the underlining is for private secure information (the city I live in)

Thankies 🙂

The Expert answers:

~there is no comma after “February;” change this to -> “on February 2, 2011”
– I don’t get why you would capitalize the first letters in “Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Natural Resources of the city of ____,” unless if it is a VERY long name of an organization, or something.
– I would just change, “which focused on the topic of _____ Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Natural Resources of the city of _____,” into, “which focused on the topic of _____ parks, recreations, open spaces, and natural resources.” (this also goes with the other “unusual” capitalizations)
~ You don’t need the “Planning” in “Planning Committee meeting” -> “Committee meeting” should be good enough; it means the same thing without further complicating the sentence.

– hmm everything else seems fine, but then again, it’s midnight, and I have a 3 hour test tomorrow:P Maybe I’ll reread your paragraph when I’m NOT lacking sleep (:

~Oh! Also, it’s not grammatically correct to end a sentence in a preposition in this case… Just saying

PS. Sorry, but it’s kind of hard to understand your sentences without actually knowing what you’re talking about, and the structure should depend on the meaning:P
