Climate Action at US Environmental Protection Agency

The Executive Director of Greenpeace, John Passacantando, is arrested outside the Environmental Protection Agency. Other arrests include the president of Rainforest Action Network, Randy Hayes, and nearly a dozen other activists after locking themselves inside of the main entrance of the EPA. This protest is the latest in a series of pre-Earth Day activities against Bush's recent greenwashing of his anti-environmental agenda. "We've taken our message from President Bush's ranch, to the White House and now to the EPA," said John Passacantando, "We want this Toxic Texan to know that trashing 30 years of environmental gains, then making a few token green announcements for Earth Day is an unacceptable environmental agenda."
