   Former Environmental Protection Agency Region One Administrator Julie Belaga says the televised environmental disasters in California and on the Cuyahoga River in Ohio where the "water burst into flames from all the [industrial] chemicals" being discharged shocked the public.
   
   Belaga, of Westport, co-chairs the Connecticut League of Conservation, and serves on the Metropolitan Transit Authority's Blue Ribbon Commission on Sustainability, a group advising the MTA on ways to become "greener" by boosting energy efficiency and reducing its carbon emissions.
   
   "We've made some enormous progress since (the first) Earth Day and because of the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency," says Belaga, who co-chairs the Connecticut League of Conservation. And there is certainly more that needs to be done, especially because of global warming and climate change." "The environment and all its problems are very large, and it's difficult for people to appreciate all this unless they can see the damage up close for themselves," Belaga says. "That's what these environmental disasters in Santa Barbara and Ohio did for people. It brought the damage to their living room. It turned them into witnesses and once you've seen this kind of disaster you can't forget or ignore it.
   
   "Back in the 1970s, we were at a point where our air pollution was actually visible," Belaga says.
