Good enough is never enough

...and, according to many, the EPA's regulations aren't even good enough. From the April issue of Outside Magazine, about Eliot Spitzer, the Governor of New York...

"Last June, Spitzer joined a coalition of 15 other state governments to go after the EPA itself - for at least the third time. The goal was to stop electric companies from producing the 48 tons of mercury that poison waterways and fish and sicken up to 600,000 children each year. The suit is still pending, but given Spitzer's record, the EPA has reason to be nervous."

Surprisingly, with its abundance of waterways ripe for being degraded by mercury pollution, Florida was not among those states. Contact Florida governor Charlie Crist at charlie.crist@myflorida.com and tell him to join this lawsuit.
