Extractive industries want to weaken habitat protections so they can get away with everything up to actually putting “a gun to a species and kill it.” - Drew Caputo, Earthjustice VP of Litigation for Lands, Wildlife, and Oceans.

The Trump administration's proposal to remove habitat protections for endangered species is extreme and dangerous. Wildlife cannot survive without their habitat intact. Earthjustice is prepared to go to court to ensure that America doesn’t abandon its endangered wildlife.

That’s the equivalent of 92M tonnes of textile waste pile up yearly. This wasteful system is harming people and the planet.

It's time to rethink fashion & #BeatWastePollution.

We The People, the 99%, need to make those calls to your US congressional representatives and tell them to get a back-bone. Flying an upside-down American flag is a sign of distress or extreme emergencies! Can't get anymore of an extreme emergency than this hostile take-over.

I am honestly thrilled to see this Sawbuck project proposal on the Black Hills NF.
Not just because we have timber & grazing land completely surrounded by HEAVY downed fuels & doghair that are a catastrophic wildfire in waiting.
The proposed riparian restoration w/ BDAs & PALS is exciting!
