We need more people to get involved and stop them from gutting this crucial law.
This week marks the 40th anniversary of this crucial law — a day to celebrate 40 years of progress. But if the fossil fuel industry gets its way, we will be helpless to stop polluters from dumping hundreds of thousands of tons of greenhouse gases into the air each year, as if it were an open sewer.

Update On Forced Green’s Post ‘Texas At A Green Crossroads’ – The Earth Won!
Gov. Rick Perry’s lawsuit to block the EPA from demanding that the state begin to comply with the clean air act, met with defeat on June 30th when the EPA announced final disapproval of the flexible permit program that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ – all Perry appointees), had submitted for inclusion in its clean-air implementation plan. EPA has determined that this program does not meet several national Clean Air Act requirements that help to assure the protection of health and the environment.
Now Is The Time For All Good Texans To Come To The Aid Of Their Environment! And The Rest Of The World Is Invited To Put In Their Two Cents.
For over a decade, environmentalists accused the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) of lax regulation and urged the EPA to step in.

Forced Green can be translated in a variety of ways. Are you green enough for the planet?
Are you green enough with your dollars? Or is your life being viewed as green with envy?
Everyone has a different view or has a different journey in life that sooner or later, green is an integral part.
Let’s take are you green enough for the planet. The planet is suffering at this point in time with pollution of every kind from air, water, land and space. We have been shown how humans activity has affected the planet from melting ice bergs, to the climate heating up, along with the landfills creating so much methane we should be figuring out a way to use it.
More and more people are doing just that….
Figuring out ways to “go green”. From using the sun in a variety of ways such as solar panels. Or cleaning up the water for drinking purposes. Or making refinery’s clean up their act by enforcing the clean air act.
Either way, we are all in the process of greening ourselves in an effort to co-habitate with this planet we call Earth.
