Presidents who did things for the Earth:
Abraham Lincoln - Protected Lands Act,
Theodore Roosevelt - National Park Service,
Nixon - EPA,
Woodrow Wilson - Organic Act,
FDR - Civilian Conservation Corps,
Jimmy Carter - Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act,
Habitat for Humanity, and Department of Energy.
Clinton -
Clinton's accomplishments are vast
especially with the environment.
He was an advocate for the earth.
Truly one of the greatest environmental presidents.
He set sanctions on emission standards,
set the toughest standards on soot and fog,
enacted the Clean Air and Water Act,
the Safe Drinking Water Act,
restored the pristine view of our National Parks,
accelerated Clean Up of Toxic Waste,
created the Global Climate Change Initiative,
and proposed to have 25 percent of our energy alternate by 2010.
Obama -
As an Environmentalist and a member of 350.org
I like the fact that President Obama enacted environmental reform,
signed the Paris Agreement,
and carried on the environmental programs of President Clinton
in building more wind turbines, solar power,
and other alternate energy plants;
he stopped the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline,
he raised the regulations and standards
for greenhouse gas emissions,
and he signed the Green Energy Act.
Now Biden will be the third best president for the earth
as he carries on the programs of Clinton and Obama,
gets us back into the Paris accord, creates green new jobs,
enacts parts of AOC's Green New Deal,
and cuts our emissions in half by 2030.
