Fostering Ecological Hope

Today from Margaret Swedish:

Unions representing scientists working with the currently inaccurately named Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) charge that the agency is deliberately corrupting the science aimed at protecting consumers from toxic substances.  Here’s a link for more info.

Into such hands, politicians who care more about hiding truth and protecting corporate interests than in protecting you and me, we are placing our health and well-being.  This follows on many other stories that reveal how little this current administration cares about science that should be used to enhance our lives and protect our well-being.  Another glaring example is a story I posted previously about how NASA’s mission has been altered, deleting the part about ’understanding and protecting the home planet.’  It goes on and on.

Government is being dismantled by the ideologues who want to prove to you that government doesn’t work.  Into the hands of profit-making private corporations they want to put decisions that affect every aspect of our lives.

It will take time to put government back together again, to play the public role it is designed to play — to be a service to the people, to represent the interests of you and me, not corporate profit margins.  Hopefully we will vote into office people who believe in government of, for, and by the people.
