No Haze in National Parks! Tell EPA to Enforce the Law
Target:Stephen Johnson, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Sponsored by:Care2
The photo at left from the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia clearly shows the effects of air pollution on the visibility in our parks. Haze not only contributes to environmental damage, it also hinders our enjoyment of mountain views. The Environmental Protection Agency, however, has been dragging its feet in cleaning up the haze in parks and other protected areas.
The Clean Air Act required states to submit plans to clean up the air pollution in their environmentally protected areas by December 2007. But only six states have complied! Tell the Environmental Protection Agency to enforce the law before our parks become permanently hazy.
