Dispatches from the Front Stand Up for Clean Air - Sierra Club Earth Day Rally by Stephanie Laird July 11, 2004 At this Tuesday morning rally, several people gathered together to “Stand Up for Clean Air.” The rally also focused on the effects that the Bush administration’s irresponsible environmental campaign is having on Ohio communities. The evidence of Ohio’s degenerating environmental progress is concurrent with Bush’s lapse in ensuring environmental protection and enforcement of environmental laws. “Bush has the worst environmental record in presidential history” said Trish Lanahan, an activist with the Sierra Club who is working to, “protect the Columbus environment from Bush.” The “Ohio Communities at Risk” report addresses; increased mercury pollution in water, air pollution’s connection to increased asthma cases, sprawl and the increase of sewage in our rivers. Speakers featured in the report came to the rally to share their personal experiences connected with these four issues that are affecting the livability of our communities. These true and sometimes heart-breaking testaments pegged the Bush Administration’s for putting “Ohio Communities at Risk.” Thirty years ago, air and water protections passed through Congress to help clean up the environment, at this rally people gathered to protest the atrocities Bush is committing against our Mother Earth. The “Ohio Communities at Risk Report” is available online at: http://www.sierraclub.org/communities/ohio. |
