Green jobs, safer chemicals, cleaner air – Lisa Jackson is fighting for them all and more as the Administrator of the US Environmental Protection Agency. And it’s no easy job.

As a recent article in the New York Times stated: 

“No other cabinet officer is in as lonely or uncomfortable a position as Ms. Jackson, who has been left, as one adviser put it, behind enemy lines with only science, the law and a small band of loyal lieutenants to support her.

Ms. Jackson describes the job as draining but says there are certain principles she will not compromise, including rapid and vigorous enforcement of some of the most far-reaching health-related rules ever considered by the agency.”

Let’s show her some appreciation this week to let her know she’s not in this fight alone and we sincerely appreciate her hard work!
