    Oh, I bet. Over on the other coast there have been news stories about dead whales and other marine animals found with bellies full of plastic. It's horrible.

    My youngest got just back Saturday from their week in Daytona Beach. They had a good time, although one day it rained most of the day so they took the kids to an arcade. And she posted this! A mama sea turtle crept out of the sea overnight and laid her eggs right behind their condo. The Turtle Patrol marked the nest and will protect it.

    Yes, the stories are really sad.

    Sea turtles are taken care of here, for the most part. Except for sickos like this:

    the government failing to protect us for so long isn't the feel good story some make it out to be.

    Do you disagree with the formation of the EPA and more stringent enforcement of regulations protecting the air, water, land, and species who live in them? If so, why?

    Hopefully they make her pay for her flight out of the country........
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Absolutely! It's heartbreaking to see. I am glad that steps are now being taken to reduce the waste.

    This was Pittsburgh before we figured out something had to be done. https://www.citylab.com/design/2012/...-problem/2185/ There are lots of cities like this in China. Without regulations and laws, this is what the wealthy will do.

    They think Climate Change is a Chinese hoax. What are the odds they have any genuine interest in the environment or conservation?

    Who is against clean water? Anyone? Why can't States deal with this? It's not a Federal matter.
    Owl already pointed out that water resources cross state lines.

    Additionally, the States still do 90 percent of all environmental regulation. That has not changed.

    Moreover, there needs to be a single, baseline national standard to prevent a race to the bottom. States are free to adopt their own standards as performance objectives as long as they are not less stringent that the federal standard.
