A mistake during an EPA attempt to clean up a mine caused millions of gallons of toxic wastewater to pour into the Animas river in Colorado. The EPA has pledged to clean up their mess, and is amazingly getting help from Mother Earth:

Funny, that!
The planet has restorative powers, but only if the EPA caused the problem, apparently.

@PhilippeHeller @veriphile but the BP oil in the Gulf of Mexico was going to affect fishing for decades.

Remember when Obama regime did a $20 billion shakedown of BP over the Gulf oil spill? Where's the reciprocation? https://t.co/mAp3gawop9

EPA sayBP Gulf damage would not restore itself, but then says. "This River Is Restoring Itself"http://t.co/xUKVZ5HK4G http://t.co/5RAy0XK5OU

What would the reaction be if a GOP-appointed EPA head said "the river is restoring itself" after a toxic spill? http://t.co/jtoCHIOQxo
