In its press release, the environment groups reported that their "scorecard" consisted of 11 Senate votes and 35 House votes on issues ranging from public health protections to clean energy to land and wildlife conservation.

LCV President Gene Karpinski said,

“In 2011, the House Republican leadership unleashed a truly breathtaking and unprecedented assault on the environment and public health, the breadth and depth of which have made the current U.S. House of Representatives the most anti-environmental in our nation’s history. LCV is grateful to those members of the Florida delegation and to the Obama administration for helping to ensure that the House Republican leadership did not succeed in gutting our nation’s cornerstone environmental and public health protections in 2011. We look forward to working together in 2012 and beyond to protect the planet for future generations.”
