EARTH DAY 2018
OUR ENVIRONMENT,
and the laws protecting it, are under siege.
I know it sounds dramatic & it's been said before,
but consider the events of the first year of the Trump misadministration.
People who deny climate science are brought in to head the departments
of the EPA and Interior. Language & information is altered on government
website pages. Removing references to "Global Warming" & "Climate Change".
Information is dangerous to those who hide the truth.
These are a few of the environmental roll backs that have taken place,
in just the past year.
*Abandoning the Paris Climate Accord*
*Limiting protections under the ESA*
*Rolling back car emission standards*
*Cuts to clean energy programs*
*Cuts to Air quality regulations*
*Cuts to Water quality regulations*
*Allowing oil drilling along our coasts*
*Allowing oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge*
*The shrinking of national monuments*
Here's a couple of links to articles that illustrate the scope & magnitude
of the damage Donald Trump,Scott Pruitt & Ryan Zinke
hope to inflict on America.
If you care about our environment,
do what you can to stop them.
VOTE.

The slideshow images featured above come from a multitude of organizations I support. Every year I receive about 25 calendars as part of their fundraising drive that are shared with friends & family. The pictures are so incredible that this year I decided to scan many to share here. I'd like to thank the following Environmental &
Social welfare groups & especially the talented photographers for sharing our world
of beauty. This year I'm also proud to include some images from my favorite photographer, Sara Valenti-Bills. THANK YOU ALL!
