October/November CFRW Book Club Meeting
November 28 @ 10:30am
Join us for our October/November 2020 CFRW Book Club Meeting! The War on the EPA: America’s Endangered Environmental Protections by William M. Alley and Rosemarie Alley is our book selection for October/November 2020. The War on the EPA presents current issues concerning PFAS “forever chemicals” and the EPA’s role in the quality of our drinking water. This book is guaranteed to be a page-turner…
“The War on the EPA examines the daunting hurdles facing the EPA in its critical roles in drinking water, air and water pollution, climate change, and toxic chemicals. This book takes the reader on a journey into some of today’s most pressing environmental problems: toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS, pervasive agricultural pollution, dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico, and widespread air and water pollution from use of fossil fuels. Delving into the science, politics, and human dimension of these and other problems, the book illustrates the challenges of regulation, how today’s war on science is undermining the scientific foundation upon which the agency’s legitimacy rests, and why a strong U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is more important than ever before.”
Pomegranate Books will have copies of The War on the EPA available for purchase soon, and CFRW Book Club members receive a 15% discount.
