EPA Celebrates 'Children Health Month,' Encourages Recruiting Students for 'Energy Patrols'
CNS News ^ | 10/5/12 | Penny Starr

(CNSNews.com) – The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is celebrating Children’s Health Month this October by providing information and health tips on its website, including the importance of energy efficiency in schools.

On the website page is a link to a 26-page EPA report entitled, “Sensible Steps to Healthier School Environment.” In the report’s chapter on Energy Efficiency, the EPA presents a box with items to help establish “Energy Efficiency Opportunities for Schools.”

One of the items in the box reads, “Educate students and staff about how their behaviors affect energy use. Some schools have created student energy patrols to monitor and inform others when energy is wasted.”

For example, the Arizona Public School’s website provides information for setting up energy patrols. The website states “emphasize social action through environmental education gives students a chance to do something about environmental problems instead of just hearing about them.”

My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm
Before the Motor Law
And on Sundays I elude the eyes
And hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire
Where my white-haired uncle waits

Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the borderline
Run like the wind
As excitement shivers up and down my spine
Down in his barn
My uncle preserved for me an old machine
For fifty odd years
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream

I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better vanished time
I fire up the willing engine
Responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel
I commit my weekly crime

Wind
In my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge...

Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

Suddenly ahead of me
Across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires
To run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase

Drive like the wind
Straining the limits of machine and man
Laughing out loud with fear and hope
I’ve got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle at the fireside

Wow. Thanks for the ping. Seems like everything is moving along for the brown shirt marxist-muslim alliance. Utopianism has always ended very badly.

When I was in local government, I dealt with the EPA. What surprised me is how many so-called Republicans were willing to embrace these EPA Nazi scum so long as they could get a bite of the federal pie.

That included lawyers, politicians and engineering firms who were the worst of the lot. These engineering companies loved EPA regulations because it gave them an excuse to hire themselves out as experts to land owners and companies who could advise both on how transverse the EPA labyrinth and engage in business.

We have at least one of these Nazi EPA Republican scum here on FR.

Good luck on establishing those energy patrols. Kids can’t even turn off the lights in their rooms.
