I got an email from Robert Redford. It’s actually a solicitation from the Kerry campaign, but the introduction is a strong statement that ties up my beliefs in a few clear sentences:

Today is Earth Day and I am afraid. For three decades, we have been fighting to protect the environment and have been proud of the great strides our country has taken. If George Bush is reelected we can count on the continuation of his agenda to undo all the advances we have struggled to achieve.

To put it simply, George Bush’s environmental policies endanger our health, loot our natural resources, and destroy the possibility of a secure energy future. George Bush may claim his environmental policies promote “healthy forests” and “clear skies” but those labels are both disingenuous and false. Most of his initiatives are nothing more than payoffs for wealthy campaign contributors.

Oh, yeah: happy Earth Day. Celebrate it now, while we’ve still got one.
