How Green Is My Record

<body>
<p>By Paul Gray/Reported by David Ellis
</p>
<p> Crashers at the Earth Day Party:
</p>
<p>-- Congresswoman Lynn Martin
</p>
<p> The Illinois Republican is turning green in her tough Senate
fight against Paul Simon, but in 1982 she voted to cut funds
for the Environmental Protection Agency's budget.
</p>
<p>-- Senator Howell Heflin
</p>
<p> The Alabama Democrat tried to undercut the EPA's power to
enforce the Clean Air Act, but now he touts his environmental
efforts and plans an Earth Day photo op at the state's Cahaba
River cleanup.
</p>
<p>-- Congressman Newt Gingrich
</p>
<p> The Georgia Republican doled out dogwoods in honor of Earth
Day. But he opposed a law requiring polluters to disclose
significant emissions of hazardous chemicals.
</p>
<p>-- President George Bush
</p>
<p> Campaigned as an environmentalist, but his White House has
no recycling program, earning it a spot on the Sierra Club's
"Slimy Seven" list of agencies that are making no effort to
comply with local law.
</p>
<p>-- McDonald's
</p>
<p> In the midst of a well-timed $100 million "McRecycle USA"
campaign, the fast-food giant was caught labeling as
"recyclable" containers that no one was recycling.
