- <p> Crashers at the Earth Day Party:
- </p>
- <p>-- Congresswoman Lynn Martin
- </p>
- <p> The Illinois Republican is turning green in her tough Senate
- fight against Paul Simon, but in 1982 she voted to cut funds
- for the Environmental Protection Agency's budget.
- </p>
- <p>-- Senator Howell Heflin
- </p>
- <p> The Alabama Democrat tried to undercut the EPA's power to
- enforce the Clean Air Act, but now he touts his environmental
- efforts and plans an Earth Day photo op at the state's Cahaba
- River cleanup.
- </p>
- <p>-- Congressman Newt Gingrich
- </p>
- <p> The Georgia Republican doled out dogwoods in honor of Earth
- Day. But he opposed a law requiring polluters to disclose
- significant emissions of hazardous chemicals.
- </p>
- <p>-- President George Bush
- </p>
- <p> Campaigned as an environmentalist, but his White House has
- no recycling program, earning it a spot on the Sierra Club's
- "Slimy Seven" list of agencies that are making no effort to
- comply with local law.
- </p>
- <p>-- McDonald's
- </p>
- <p> In the midst of a well-timed $100 million "McRecycle USA"
- campaign, the fast-food giant was caught labeling as
- "recyclable" containers that no one was recycling.
