Yep, the more left a government goes the more filthy the environment becomes. Because it’s not about a clean environment, it’s about power and control.

Seattle used to be a beautiful city. Now its streets are filled with strung-out bums, human feces and urine, garbage and graffiti.

80% of China’s water is polluted with toxins, carcinogens and heavy metals.

The USFish Wildlife Dept in 2014/15 issued Directors Order 210 changing long-standing regulations by Executive Order of President Obama concerning prohibitions of the sale / import/ export of ivory. The most egregious aspects cover a requirement of proofs that antique works of art over 100 years old be shown as entering the US through ‘antique ports of entry’ in order to be sold or donated. These are objects that legitimately entered the US but owners had no reason to keep bills of sale or import documents or evidence that these legitimately entered the US decades earlier. There are millions of these items which are unsalable ranging from teapots with ivory handles to ivory inlaid furniture or ivory bead jewelry. Prior to DO210 an expert statement was sufficient for export and there were no restrictions within the US on sales of antique ivory and customs was responsible for ensuring poached ivory was seized and fines issued. It is now a black market mess and legitimate works of art and owners are silent victims. The trump administration needs to know about this situation.

Don’t they realize that humans actually build more Bat habitats than they could ever cut down?
