Congress has corresponding checks and balances, including the power to […]

New metric reveals the true water footprint of corporations
Thousands of companies around the world now regularly disclose aspects of their water use as part of corporate commitments to environmental, social, and governance goals. Yet reliable measures of corporate water withdrawals and discharges—and their impacts on local water quality and ecosystems—have been limited.

After the acid rain issue was largely ignored during the Reagan administration, Bush made addressing it a key component of his campaign platform to woo voters tired after two terms of GOP governance."
