California does not actually care about the environment at all, at least not when it comes time to save a quick buck, ZacharyFaria writes.

California has been moving nearly half of its toxic waste out of state since 2010, dumping it in municipal waste landfills in Arizona and Utah. These facilities have less oversight and fewer protections than specialized facilities. According to CalMatters, “two of the most heavily used by California are near Native American reservations,” but that’s okay. California only cares about the environment inside its borders.
Not only that, but the Department of Toxic Substances Control, the Golden State’s toxic waste watchdog, is one of the biggest out-of-state dumpers in California. Imagine that: the state’s strict regulations lead even its own toxic waste watchdog to dump waste in other states' less-regulated facilities, because it is cheaper.
This is par for the course for California. State leaders are quick to cry"climate change" whenever there's a bit of bad weather. They blame every forest fire on global warming, even if the culprit is poor forest management. They blame the climate for their drought, when it really comes down to poor water storage. But even then, climate change is still a luxury issue. When it came time to determine where the state would cut spending, Gov.
Either California leaders are incredibly incompetent when it comes to environmental issues, or they cynically use climate change as a political tool to scare the public. California does not actually care about the environment at all, at least not when it comes time to save a quick buck.
