And yet the EPA which is supposed to "protect" the environment (it's right in the name!) has suddenly decided that's not important anymore - that corporations and factories can do whatever they want, even if the pollution is making people sick?? I thought that we were way behind in cleaning up the environment?? What good is making a fortune if human and animal lives are at stake??
