EPA Bracing For All-Out Assult On Staffing, Funding And On Legal Authority To Protect People From Pollution

1. How to counter this?

Is there a way for the EPA people to use their expertise to fight back? What about a nonprofit Climate Corps, funded by Gates or Buffett or Bloomberg?

Granted, it wouldn’t have the vital regulatory powers of the EPA, but it could raise awareness about the effects of climate change, lobby the private sector and help out on the ground in the wake of natural disasters — stuff like that. Plus, it would get young people involved in solutions and networking with each other rather than sitting angrily on the couch.

I just think there has to be an answer to this assault on our planet. I understand why people are leaving EPA, but then use your skills to shine a light on what’s happening and gather popular support — don’t just duck and cover.
