Thanks for taking the trouble to sign the petition.<BR/><BR/>Susan, thanks for the reminder that this is a largely a political issue and that there are right-thinking civil servants populating every corner of our federal government. Now we can hope that the federal government will be on the right side of things again from the top down.<BR/><BR/>PP, yes, it's true. The Bay is dying and needs help--now.Ed Bruskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217850970833353800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-65069145751089119892008-10-30T12:07:00.000-04:002008-10-30T12:07:00.000-04:00Thank you for this information.

The agency has become the toady for the current administration and its overt preference for advancing business interests over protecting the environment...<BR/><BR/>Morale is very low among many old-school, long time, career EPA workers. They are just hunkered down, hoping for a change in the new administration...Susan Tomlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01532464326705599296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-35581087620229313642008-10-29T15:02:00.000-04:002008-10-29T15:02:00.000-04:00Wow… and good for you!

What are we thinking when we drill, drill, drill oil, till the earth is a fragile crust; or drain, drain, drain water till it literally dries up; or flush, flush, flush the contents of our overflowing sewers and manufacturing waste till our rivers and oceans are dying? We cut forests till the worldwide climate changes, we pollute till we can’t safely breathe the air or drink the water. It’s come to the point that we are cautioned to eat less and less of the creatures that do…mercury in tuna and ‘madcow’ are just small examples.<BR/><BR/>It just makes no sense to me. With so many people without work…why must we do everything so damn cheaply that it’s killing us in one way or another? Must we go so fast, or eat so unhealthily, or turn the heat so high that sweaters and slippers are obsolete? <BR/><BR/>Yes, I signed your petition and sent a personalized letter. I'm in Colorado...but this affects me too!<BR/><BR/>Thank you!Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334121900896195207noreply@blogger.com
