EPA Lets Electronic Waste Flow Freely, GAO Report Says
17th September 2008
The Environmental Protection Agency has done little to curb the export of discarded electronic products containing hazardous waste, much of which ends up in poorly regulated countries and harms the environment and public health, the Government Accountability Office concluded in a report being released today.
And how is that any business of the American EPA? Other countries would appear to be, oh, I don’t know, OUTSIDE OF THEIR JURISDICTION.
I’d heard tell that they’d changed what “GAO” stands for, but I didn’t realize that they’d changed it to “Government Asininity Office”.
