Mother Nature, that is.  Given the EPA’s challenges, we can’t rely on it to do everything…and whatever you think about what Washington should be doing better, it’s a great thing when citizens step up to help their community.  Tina Kelley reports in the New York Times about Riverkeeper, an environmental non-profit that tests the water around New York City to see when — if ever — it will be safe for recreational use.  Riverkeeper’s project, called "Swimmable River," is building an online record of the Hudson’s toxin levels and safety for recreation.  Accessible information about real environmental problems?  Maybe the EPA could take a lesson from these folks.  Read Tina Kelley here. -NH
