Environmental groups don't have anything to complain about because rivers aren't on fire and the bald eagle isn't dying out, according to Secretary of Interior Gale Norton's spokesperson.

"Thirty years ago, there were rivers which caught fire and the bald eagle was dying out. Now that they don't have such issues to cite, some environmental groups are lashing out at anything," Mark Pfeifle, who wasn't alive 30 years ago, told The Washington Times. "We're focusing on citizen conservation at the local level. We're looking to save one acre at a time. That doesn't always make big headlines. But it's a success, and part of our effort to promote good stewardship."
