Default Sarah Palin versus the environment.

It appears that Sarah Palin's environmental record is pretty poor.

She,

Quote:
opposed legislation, put forward earlier this year, that would have banned the flame retardant Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs), which affects brain development in young children, including memory and learning functions.

Sadly, pollutions like that can cause birth defects like Down Syndrome.

I also recently found out that the scenic lake behind her house, Lake Lucille, is a dead lake, from pollution: Sarah Palin Lake Lucille | Salon News

Quote:
"Lake Lucille is basically a dead lake -- it can't support a fish population," said Michelle Church, a Mat-Su Valley borough assembly member and environmentalist. "It's a runway for floatplanes."
I wonder how the water supply is at that house.


Here is what Greenpeace says about her,

Quote:
Palin has the most anti-environment records of any governor in the US.

Sarah Palin is also against clean water initiatives somehow?

Quote:
Gov Palin also opposed the Clean Water Initiative, known as Proposition 4, which was put to the vote in August. This would have reduced the run-off of toxic metals from all mining in Alaska. Less than a week before the vote, she went on TV to state her personal objection to the measure.

She said: "Let me take my governor's hat off for just a minute and tell you personally - Prop 4, I vote no on that." Proposal 4 had been expected to pass. But Alaska's mining industry used the Palin sound bite in a big advertising push, causing the bill to be defeated.
Gross..

Rich people love nature around their houses, for it adds value to the property.
It looks like pollution is for the poor.
