Former Bush Administration EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman writes about the environmental movement and successes in improving air and water quality in the U.S. over the past 30+ years.
"If anyone doubts that the tone of thedebate over environmental policy in this city is in serious need of improvement, he or she need only look at the reaction to the release this week of the Environmental Protection Agency's first-ever 'Draft Report on the Environment.' ... But judging by the reaction of some professional environmentalists to our report, you'd think we had tried to pass off 'The Skeptical Environmentalist' as 'Silent Spring.' "
