Feb 24 2010 No Comments

The League of Conservation Voters released its 2009 National Environmental Scorecard today, grading the 111th Congress’s votes on issues such as clean energy, public lands, water quality, forest management and chemical security. The political advocacy group has measured Congress’s eco-friendliness since 1970.

Jonathan Oosting, over at MLive.com, examined the scores of Michigan politicos and found that Democrats earned higher marks than did Republicans in the first session.

I asked a related question in a blog post on Feb. 15: “Which party do you think does the better job as an environmental protector?”

Check out the league’s scorecard yourself to see how your representatives stack up.
