Iowa's Environment At Risk:
The Local Impacts of the Bush Administration's Environmental Policies
Iowapirg.org Releases Study
Over the last three years, the Bush administration has proposed numerous policies to allow more pollution in our air and water, more logging in our national forests, and more drilling on sensitive public lands, while ignoring the pressing need to address global warming pollution, rapidly clean up toxic waste sites, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Although many of these proposals have been finalized, several remain pending–offering the administration another chance to reinforce, rather than undermine, the foundation of America's environmental laws.
These national policies have a profound effect on residents of Iowa.
