    Fishing for New Environmentalists
    
    With the Bush administration’s promulgation of stunningly weak standards on mercury pollution, and with growing evidence of the mass poisoning of the American people, there’s a prime opportunity. Environmentalists should do more to reach out to the millions of Americans who hunt and fish. Assuming that generally conservative “outdoorsmen” and –women will vote only based on guns and permits is very short-sighted, strategically.
