Environment - Ronald Reagan's Environmental Legacy

NPR is advertising this feature on this afternoon's All Things Considered:

Ronald Reagan once said, "a tree is a tree, how many more do you have to look at?" -- enraging environmentalists. But the former president also said, "We must and will be responsible to future generations." We speak with defenders and critics of Reagan's environmental legacy.
When it is available online, later this evening, I will provide a link here.

[Update] Here is the link to listen to the Reagan environmental feature.

This afternoon's show also featured two other stories written about on The Indiana Law Blog. You will probably remember reading entries on this story:

From Mud to Parks: The Ultimate in Recycling. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is undertaking a project that could be called the ultimate in land recycling. Crews are dredging up mud that has clogged the bottom of the Illinois River near Peoria and shipping it up to Chicago, where it will become topsoil for a new park being built on the site of an old steel mill. NPR's David Schaper reports. Listen here. NPR also provided this link to the Illinois Mud to Parks site.
And entries on this story were posted here just today:
Study: Power-Plant Air Controls Could Save Lives. A new study concludes that thousands of pollution-related deaths could be prevented every year if emissions standards were tightened for power plants. The study by a coalition of environmental groups also argues against proposals put forth in President Bush's Clear Skies plan. Listen here.
