Happy Earth Day to all!
Here's the latest perspective on this by the current administration:
http://thehill.com/homenews/administ...ven-economy-toPresident Trump marked Earth Day on Sunday by renewing his vow to undo "unnecessary and harmful regulations," and insisting that a "market-driven economy is essential to protecting" the environment.
Of course, Earth Day was established in the first place because a market-driven economy, unburdened by regulation, was resulting in rivers catching fire

and toxic waste dumps like Love Canal

The irony is nearly crushing.
