"The Clean Air Act as Model Policy: A Conversation with Henry A. Waxman"
Waxman's tenacious guardianship, oversight, and amendments to the Clean Air Act improved the quality of the air we breathe, made our water cleaner and safer to drink, helped preserve the ozone layer, decreased acid rain, impacted our food systems, and saved countless lives. His contributions to EPA regulations resonate today in the CO2 or greenhouse gases protections he envisioned and championed years ago.
