Reporting Highlights

  • Earth Day Promise: In 2022, President Joe Biden announced a new effort to protect old forests, which are key to the fight against climate change. But it hasn’t made much of a difference.
  • Logging Continues: The Bureau of Land Management has allowed timber companies to cut these forests at a faster pace since Biden’s executive order than in the decade that preceded it.
  • Legal Battles: Conservation groups keep suing over what they claim are rushed timber sales, and they keep winning — but under a Trump administration, they may be unable to keep up.

    Also not what I said. This was the first election where I was able to vote that I did not cast my ballot for the presidency, but I voted down ticket on everything else, including the questions in my state. My votes were either for democrats or for people who ran independently and had truly progressive ideals.

    And before you go off on your oh not voting is a vote for Trump tirade, i live in a heavily blue state where there was absolutely no danger of electoral votes going to trump. My states votes went to Harris. And since that’s how the presidency gets tallied, my votes for the more local politics seemed more pertinent and a better way of getting the future that I think the planet deserves
