A Green Leaf Note: Environment

Many people do not know that under the Bush government, the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] has been almost hopelessly incompetent. More often than not, it has catered to the interests of the companies and interests it's supposed to regulate.

One of the things it has done is fail to enforce the Clean Water Act passed in 1972 overwhelmingly by both Republicans and Democrats. In fact, the EPA has helped people find ways to get around the law.

Now, there is a law in Congress to overcome some of this nonsense. It's the Clean Water Authority Restoration Act. If you get a chance to talk to a Congressman .. tell him/her to vote for it!
