Just think how many jobs would be created if our community and others around the country cleaned up our environment. It seems "Green Jobs" are growing & are above average pay for the intelligent & environmentally conscious person. I've lived in a house that had polluted water & believe me it wasn't worth it even though I had water views especially after a shower I still felt "dirty". My father spent 30yrs working in one of the polluted plants on the Cape Fear River & now he has a terminal illness along with other past coworkers plus a large number that have died right here in Wilmington. So No I don't believe the EPA has the peoples health & safety as their top priority when making decisions. All the money in the world will not make up for my dad's or anyone else's health & quality of life.
