Surprise! Bush Administration Orders More Pollution

In a shocking move, the EPA has denied California's request to clamp down on carbon monoxide emissions. The Golden State proposed to write regulations that would have been more protective than current federal regulations. California was charting a bold path to cleaner air with other states following in tow. Many states including New Jersey and Arizona were waiting for California's waiver to be granted by the federal government so they could implement Clean Car programs of their own. Those programs, which would have improved air quality and public health, will now be put on hold thanks to the backwards-thinking administration in Washington.

How many days until the election?

This is really disappointing, but not surprising. Our government is not too concerned about the environment, nor the impact that humans have on it, when you consider what sort of damage we do compared to the rest of the world. I really hope the next administration takes sustainability issues more seriously!
