Ronald Reagan and the American environment: an indictment, alternate budget proposal, and citizen's guide to action
Ten environmental groups have joined forces to document the Reagan administration's record on environmental issues. They cite hundreds of actions that they interpret as breaking faith with the American people's desire to restore and preserve environmental quality. They feel the administration has used the appeal of regulatory reform to either rescind pollution regulations or to use the budget process as a way to avoid enforcement. They observe that the multiple-use concept of public land has been titled in favor of private speculators whose activities preclude recreational and preservationist uses. The indictment points out that the Reagan approach is a radical squandering of the nation's resources and not a conservative policy. The book opens with specific charges in several environmental areas, then reports the group's findings and its recommendations. 79 references, 3 figures, 3 tables. (DCK)
