As we approach Earth Day & reflect on the beauty & importance of the environment to our culture, economy & lives, it is critical that we stay focused on fighting back against President Trump’s agenda that would compromise our precious ecosystem. A few recent examples:
Earlier this month, @EPA decided to roll back fuel emission standards, threatening the quality of the air we breathe & undermining efforts to slow the effects of climate change:http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-fuel-economy-impacts-20180406-story.html …
Under President Trump, @Interior has moved to shrink or remove designations from some our prestigious national parks—compromising vital wildlife habitats & natural resources—in an effort to open up more land for additional oil & gas drilling:https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/02/climate/bears-ears-national-monument.html?mtrref=www.google.com&gwh=8E36E11C3F36518DD00F0AF11062A409&gwt=pay …
Speaking of drilling—@SecretaryZinke helped pave the way for hazardous oil & gas drilling in the Arctic Refuge, one of our planet’s last, richest natural habitats:https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/04/19/trump-administration-takes-initial-step-steps-toward-oil-and-gas-drilling-alaskas-arctic-national-wi/533176002/ …
.@EPAScottPruitt has used his position to undermine the agency’s core mission of protecting our environment, & has instead used his power to reverse commonsense environmental protections while wasting taxpayer dollars & lining his allies’ pockets…https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/a-factory-of-bad-ideas-how-scott-pruitt-undermined-his-mission-at-epa/2018/04/20/695fa2c0-42ac-11e8-bba2-0976a82b05a2_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.32943d83c351 …
...but even more reckless, @EPAScottPruitt pulled the US out of the Paris Climate Agreement, a global effort to stem the growing dangers of climate change already impacting our environment & a decision that will have consequences for generations to come.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/06/04/epa-head-scott-pruitt-defends-paris-exit/?utm_term=.53708c31fefd …
These are just a few examples of what’s at stake & why it’s important that we continue to make our voices heard. This Earth Day, let’s all recommit ourselves to our shared responsibility of protecting our environment from further harm #EarthDay2018
