America’s Most Wanted Environmental Criminals

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently published a list of the most wanted suspects related to environmental crimes.  The EPA Fugitives list looks very similar to lists set up by law enforcement agencies to capture the most wanted criminals in the land.  The list includes photos, crime information, where the crime occured, and where the suspects were last seen.  The EPA is hoping that by taking a page from America’s Most Wanted, that they may be able to apprehend and capture some of the individuals that have been wrecking havok to our nation’s environment.

Some of the crimes listed include smuggling hazardous chemicals across our nation’s borders, disposing of hazardous waste unproperly, illegally importing automobiles that did not meet EPA standards, as well as a whole list of other crimes.  Each criminal is accompanied by a nice “Wanted Poster” that can be printed off on your local computer.  Each individual has accompanying instructions on what to do if you see them or know of their location.   We are reminded to not apprehend any of the suspects, but to report them to the proper authorities.  Some of these individuals can be dangerous .  Read the Full List.

Let’s hope that some of these people can be brought to justice before they damage even more of our land and waterways!
