Hi..

I live in the wide open spaces of Maine, near the
beautiful Acadia National Park.

In the EU I think acid rain was the main problem of the 70s
and early 80s. Newer stricter emission laws had forced the
power stations to use efficiently working filter systems.
Hmm.., and sorry, related to international environment(al)
protection standards I can hardly understand the
environmental policy of your country..

Environmentalists say we've regressed about 40 years in the clean
air, water, and soil department. Our previous president will be
remembered for his dirty mind, our current guy will be remembered for
his dirty policies. Dirty jokes are a lot more fun than dirty water. A
little off topic, but not really. Our fish are suffering more than we
are from habitat abuse and destruction. They have no place to run. We,
on the other hand, can jump into our monster SUVs and roar away to the
next watering hole.
