Dear President Trump,
Today is Earth
Day! Woo hoo! I hope you got a chance to enjoy the Earth today. In Michigan,
where I am, it was a balmy 60 degrees. I had kind of a busy day, so I didn't
get to enjoy the ourdoors as much as I would have liked to, but it was
beautiful walking from place to place nonetheless. Maybe you were similarly
busy today. In that case, I hope you enjoyed some sunshine while walking from
place to place as well.
President Trump,
today you tweeted, "Today on Earth Day, we celebrate our beautiful
forests, lakes and lands. We stand committed to preserving the natural beauty
of our nation." President Trump, actions speak louder than words. You have
eliminated the Stream Protection Rule, which protected our nation's streams
from mining operations. You have moved to eliminate the Clean Water Rule. Your budget cuts money for the EPA and the National Parks Service. You
refuse to acknowledge climate change.
Sir, if 97% of
scientists-- highly qualified individuals who have dedicated their lives to
studying how the world works-- agree that climate change is a very real
problem, it is your duty and responsibility as well to work to preserve the
beautiful country we have. If 97% of political analysts agreed that your
presidency is the best in our nation's history, I doubt you would try to seek
out the opinions of the 3% that disagreed. I know I wouldn't.
Please, President
Trump, let your words match your actions. Please be fully committed to
"celebrating our beautiful forests, lakes and lands." Please show the
world that you care about the beauty of our earth and want it to remain just as
beautiful as it is now for generations to come.
