George Bush and Gratitude

25 years ago today, Jimmy Carter signed the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, better known as Superfund, creating the Federal government's program to clean up the nation's growing and out of control hazardous waste sites. Through the Superfund program, the EPA along with numerous other private groups and organizations cleaned up abandoned, accidentally spilled, or illegally dumped hazardous waste sites that posed a risk to current and future generation’s health and the environment.
