More good news on the political and environmental front. President Obama is taking steps to turn back some of the climate policies set in place under the Bush administration. He's trying to make it possible for states to set pollution limits for their own states. He told the EPA to reconsider California's request, which had been denied under President Bush, to allow the state to impose more stringent limitations on vehicle carbon dioxide emissions. Leading the way towards towards cleaner air and a greener environment, California's plan has motivated possibly as many as 18 other states to consider more strict clean air standards in their states as well. This is good news for the environment as well as for the states who are being proactive in making positive changes in the quality of life in their jurisdictions.

As editor of AGNADL, I deleted a comment here made by a reader who wished to argue about politics. Not all the news passed on here will be without its flip side, but the point of this blog is to focus on positive things/ideas/news. We may not always agree on what constitutes "good" news, which is why I want to limit news that leans more towards the political side of life. But I believe in exercising good stewardship over the planet that has been entrusted in our care, and this blog will reveal that bias.
