Anyway... Richard Nixon was president when the EPA was created: "The creation of the EPA in 1970 brought together a patchwork of federal programs concerned with various aspects of the environment under the control of a single regulatory agency. In the same year, Congress passed one of our nation's most complex and ambitious statutes, the Clean Air Act, directing EPA to set and America to achieve national air standards."





But before that... Theodore Roosevelt presided over legislation that promoted decent environments:



"When he became President in 1901, Roosevelt pursued this interest in natural history by establishing the first 51 Bird Reserves, 4 Game Preserves, and 150 National Forests. He also established the U.S. Forest Service, signed into law the creation of 5 National Parks, and signed the 1906 Antiquities Act under which he proclaimed 18 national monuments. The area of the United States placed under public protection by Theodore Roosevelt totals approximately 230,000,000 acres."



Before that...



"... President Ulysses S. Grant signed the Yellowstone Park Act on March 1, 1872, the preservation of a park more than 3,300 square miles in size..."Which president passed legislation giving consumers the right to a decent environment?
Theodore Roosevelt was probably the first environmentalist President. He created the National Park system to preserve wildlife and wilderness areas. Here are a few quotes:



"The conservation of our natural resources and their proper use constitute the fundamental problem which underlies almost every other problem of our national life."



"A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself," Roosevelt said. "Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people."



As others have noted, the EPA was created during the Nixon administration. It shows just how far from the tree the apple has fallen. Today's Republicans would like to undo all of the environmentalist legislation. That's very sad.
