The most influential act of the EPA was to ban [[DDT]], a decision that critics across the political spectrum say has resulted in deaths of millions annually in [[Africa]] from [[malaria]]. DDT is highly effective in eliminating malaria, as it did in the United States. The reason given for banning DDT was to protect numerous bird species and the harmless insects on which they depend for food, but groups across the political spectrum and even the ''New York Times'' have criticized the loss of human life, especially in Africa, caused by this ban.

The EPA is a large consumer of public resources and tax dollars, costing almost twice as much as the War Against Terror. It was started by Senator Al Gore before he invented the Internet and Global Warming. By abolishing the EPA, billions of tax dollars could be refunded to those Righteous tax-paying and law abiding Cristians.
On April 2, 2007, the [[Supreme Court]] ruled that the EPA has the authority to regulate [[greenhouse gas]] emissions. This was a rebuke to the [[George W. Bush|Bush]] administration, which had called for voluntary reduction of the gasses. <ref>Fox News: High Court Rebukes Bush on Car Pollution [http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2007Apr02/0,4670,ScotusGreenhouseGases,00.html]</ref>.
