In the 1970s, public opinion favored cleaning up the environment. Since the 1980s, some members of Congress and industry leaders have fought against environmental laws that regulate the amount of pollution that can be added to the environment. Are they working in the best interests of the public or of corporations?

They are working in the best interests of corporations

Explanation:

Corporations and industries are responsible for a large percentage of  environmental pollution being witnessed in several regions of the world. The pollutions have negative consequences for the environment and the organisms living in it, including humans. Hence, formulating laws to regulate the amount of pollution that can be added to the environment is in the best interests of the public. Any person that fights against these laws is likely working in the interests of industries and corporations and not the public in its entirety.
