No Tree Left Behind

Bush has overturned over 200 environmental regulations (he also went back on his campaign promise to reduce carbon dioxide emissions—flip flopper!). He has made it possible for the coal-producing plants (the same ones responsible for all the pollution in my hometown, which is one of the top 10 most polluted cities) to update their plants without putting in place environmental protections (it's voluntary!). He has opened more wilderness to development and allowed more strip mining of mountaintops. I remember back when people were calling Gore an environmental extremist. There is no one who is more of an extremist than Bush, who has completely surrendered all environmental protections and instead protects his special interests and corporations, the same ones who give him huge donations. Oh, and if you think your drinking water is safe from arsenic and mercury, think again.

Read this and weep.
