I wrote a poem in high school about an old tree removed for a parking lot. Our 50th reunion is in a couple weeks. I was an environmentalist back then. I started an organization to clean a polluted local creek. The last few years the water has been remarkably clear.

“I started an organization to clean a polluted local creek. The last few years the water has been remarkably clear.”

Good for you! Back when I was a kid that was the big thing in school. I even have a letter that I wrote (class project) to President Nixon to clean up the environment.

We needed the EPA to get rules and enforcement to clean things up. But it has gone from banning dumping of motor oil into rivers to banning .02% of CO2 or whatever the number is. I had an old boss complain about some new EPA rule with a limit of 0.5 ppm of some chemical. “The instruments can only measure down to 2 ppm!”
