Dirty Air Act? Here we go again…
I was forwarded this information about a petition being passed around by a friend. Here’s the pertinent blurb from the organic Consumers web site:
The day after the inauguration, January 21, the Bush Administration signed an agreement that allows factory farms to freely violate any and all clean air standards for the next two years, and forgives these same companies from paying fines for past air pollution violations. In exchange for the freedom to pollute without any restrictions, the deal “requests” that factory farms agree to monitor their air pollution and provide that data to the government.
To all my readers, please go and read the information and decide for yourself. The petition is easy enough to follow and fill in the information necessary.
