Ted Kennedy (1932-2009) - Tribute to a Progressive Green Champion

Ted Kennedy was a masterful politician and an effective, aggressive reformer--he was instrumental in shaping the policies, ideology, and face of modern America. More so, as Slate argues, than any other Kennedy.

Here, we pay tribute to the less celebrated--but no less important--legacy of green achievements he left behind.

And it's a pretty staggering list of achievements--from cosponsoring the first bill to put fuel economy standards in place, to tightening regulations on oil companies, to fighting to keep ANWR safe, to being an early proponent of renewable energy promotion, Kennedy has a long history of championing green causes and protecting the environment.
