ungreening of america

[Guest guest]

It remains to be seen whether President Bush's

environmental record will become a pivotal issue

in the 2004 presidential campaign. But one thing

is abundantly clear: Bush has built a record

unlike any previous president.

 

A special report in the September/October issue

of Mother Jones -- The Ungreening of America --

considers the quiet ways in which the Bush

administration has been rolling back 30 years of

environmental legislation. Osha Gray

Davidson explains how Bush has kept his

campaign to rewrite environmental laws out of

the public eye; Donovan Webste and Michael

Scherer look at how the administration's assault

on clean air laws is hitting close to home in the

president's home state; and Ted Williams

reveals how a seemingly minor change to an

obscure regulation is threatening a famed

Florida river.

 

In addition to the three articles, we take a hard

look at the administration players planning and

carrying out this assault -- a cadre of Bush

appointees with strong ties to the very industries

they are supposed to regulate.
