California’s own Richard Pombo (R-11th District) has proved to be the
country’s most environmentally hostile member of Congress. Chairman of
the House Resources Committee, Pombo’s proposals to weaken the
Endangered Species Act, sell off parts of our National Parks, and open
the Artic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling have provoked
outcries from the environmental community. Terre Verde will be in
conversation with local environmentalists who have been monitoring and
opposing Pombo’s anti-environmental agenda.
