is about The City of Chicago getting access to the archived Environmental Protection Agency page and posting it to their own website.
So, just tossing ideas around - just say Chicago or the EPA creates a downloadable package of these pages, or an abridged version. Then anyone with a bit of web space can upload a mirror page for the EPA. I would put it on a couple of sites, I'm sure others would for the resisTance.
What think you?
Edit to add: just the Climate Change section, not the whole EPA
I read that and made a note to myself to call my city's mayor on Monday. I bet he'll do it.

(51,090 posts)ETA: but I don't think it would be a terrible idea to write to the EPA person anyway. You don't go into that business because you are a big fan of Trump's. He or she may be able to find a way to get the information out without losing the job.

Imagine - 10,000 global mirrors for the EPA Climate Change page!

(17,217 posts)Did it themselves but I believe this was all the archived climate data which would be shitloads of raw data.
I'm thinking more of a solidarity/protest thing by doing similar to Chicago - putting a page on the web.

This is kind of awesome.
