[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does environmental law = pipe dream?  [/quote]

Because you either have to fight for a tiny percentage of jobs that actually are protecting the environment, for almost no pay OR you end up working for a huge corporation and using your background to help them legally destroy the environment. It's not a pretty picture.[/quote]

Environmental law is not what it seems. [/quote]

Get to dedicate your life to a company like this  - http://www.royalfume.com/aboutus/the-royal-family.html

To try to do end runs around EPA laws to help family business, like this was to get an exemption to use methyl bromide to fumigate pine before export.   Because it is considered an ozone-depleting substance, methyl bromide was phased out by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2005, except for allowable “critical use exemptions” – cases in which there are no technically and economically feasible alternatives or substitutes available that are acceptable from the standpoint of environment and public health, according to the EPA.

Of course our India friends have no problem using methyl bromide at -&gt; http://www.fumigationindia.com/

so you get to help corporations screw the environment for the rest of your life and get paid big bucks and work long hours.

Methyl Bromide is used to fumigate strawberry plants.  Not sure why they get an exemption.  Probably some f'king lawyer in some multi national corporation somewhere making big bucks.   Be better to be the lawyer on the other side but then you wouldn't have the 400HHI

[i]In 2011, after an over decade-long investigation into a complaint regarding the issue, the U.S. EPA found that the disparate adverse effects from exposure to fumigant, methyl bromide, on Latino school children in California constituted a prima facie violation of Title VI anti-discrimination laws. But little has been done to rectify the disparity, as the most recent report demonstrates.  “The report comes right out and says the pattern of pesticide use near schools is overwhelming discriminatory. Latino children are more likely to have pesticides applied near the schools they attend,” says Brent Newell, the legal director of the Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment. Since 2009, Newell has acted as the lead attorney for the complaint that was originally filed in 1999.[/i]
