The EPA is launching a great water consumption awareness campaign called We're For Water. We're definitely excited that the organization is working hard to show Americans how we can curb our water use and conserve resources. [...] But part of the campaign is a cross-country road trip during which "Flo" stops at 16 cities to raise awareness. Couldn't the EPA have come up with a way to promote the campaign without burning fossil fuels?

There seems to be a growing sentiment that when water goes down the drain it is lost forever. Too bad most don't understand the earth process a lot better. Government schools, enviro singalongs and teacher unions undoubtedly play a role in that.

Because people want to drink polluted water? The problem is how much actually drinkable water we have. Only 1% of world water is drinkable, inevitably leading to conflict.

Are they going to stop in places where the tap water actually burns?

Dear EPA,

After you let everything in our country go to hell, INCLUDING H2O, you think somebody will actually listen to you?

Go back and bow to your masters.... .the GOP... you are a useless waste of tax dollars!

A bit short sighted. Abandon all regulation due to private interest for profit corruption of existing government agencies. Far smarter to rebuild the existing agencies and to establishing valid checks and balances to prevent this from happening again. That a blatantly corrupt vice president with a puppet president (Cheney and Bush what a disastrous combination) can so readily corrupt so many government agencies is a sure sign that the presidency has grossly excessive power.
