4/09/2003 06:24:00 PM | Karsten Barde To Earth Day planners on campus Looking for a big issue around which to center the April 22 festivities on campus? Here's one idea: In order to avoid staging a visible protest on an extremely important topic too late to have any impact (see DFP editorial here about an Arctic drilling protest on campus during the week before a Congressional floor vote), I recommend that interested parties on campus visit this page to learn more about the New Source Review issue. Cheney's gang could not be more in the pocket of the coal industry, and the proposed NSR changes would loosen pollution controls on power plants. Once armed with all the important info, launch a blitzkrieg campaign to flood the EPA with letters. It's a lot to ask before the public comment period ends on May 2, but it has the potential to make a big difference. Unlike many issues on which public comment or demonstration is futile at best, federal agencies are required to read public comment; a couple thousand well-informed messages can heavily influence environmental rule-making. Or check out EarthDay.net for other ideas. BTW, the fate of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge could still be in danger... see here. perma link |
