Good luck on that one. It's primarily about money and control disguised as "what is best for the country".

Having an EPA can be a good idea. An EPA can protect the environment from individuals and companies that pollute lakes, streams and groundwater. I remember a chemical company destroyed a lake in central New York, and I don't think that the lake will recover for another 100 years or more. There also are cases where industrial pollution has created cancer clusters in local communities.

On the other hand, having an EAP that is totally out of control to the point that they can mandate when barbecue grills may be used, and what can and cannot be used for off-road interests/recreation is....totally insane.

There are thousands upon thousands of regulations that can be used to dictate what you can and cannot do with your property and person, some of which are disguised in other initiatives. Once regulations are approved--ones that are in many cases spawned by special interest groups--they are exceedingly difficult to undo.

This one in particular is worth fighting against. Hopefully, people will take notice of additional measures and proposals that come down the line, ones which are equally absurd, and take action there too.
