Clean Air Act 40th Birthday
posted by Steven Barrymore

September 14 marks the 40th anniversary of the Clean Air Act. To celebrate our improved air quality, a conference honoring the inception of the act will be held at The Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. The keynote speaker will be EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. White House and Capitol Hill reporters with credentials may attend only, along with very special guests, sorry general public. If you wish to watch a live webcast, you may do so at http://www.epa.gov/live/ on Tuesday Sept 14 @ 11:45 am EDT. The act is getting up there in years, if you do send a birthday card, be kind with your sentiment — hitting 40 can be stressful.
