If the Bush administration gets its way with the wilderness again, there'll be no more public-comment period before the U.S. Forest Service decides to lease your local national forest to a ski resort, golf course or oil company. By executive order on December 22 (nice timing!), Bush decided to dismantle the National Environmental Policy Act, which since Nixon (goddamn enviro!) signed it into law in 1970, guarantees the public a voice in the management of public lands. Write now or forever hold your peace.

(Then again, think of all the trees we'll save by eliminating those pesky environmental impact statements!)
