*[Enwl-eng] Trump just wrecked another environmental provision

[ENWL]

            Trump just gutted one of the most important environmental 
protection and anti-climate change laws to pad the pockets of fossil fuel 
execs

                 Since 1970, the National Environmental Protection Act 
(NEPA) has protected people and the planet by making sure construction 
companies can't just willy-nilly build factories, pipeliness, major 
roadways, or drilling sites near where people live. Naturally, that 
infuriated Donald Trump. So he took a massive wrecking ball to the law. 
Under his new, stripped-down version, corporations will no longer need to 
consider a project's contribution to climate change. And people who live 
near proposed sites will have virtually zero chance for input.

                  This is an egregious attempt to take away the rights of 
the people and expand the already massive power and wealth of the fossil 
fuel and construction industries, and at a particularly horrible time. 
Climate change is already a global emergency, with scientists agreeing that 
if we have not taken enough steps by 2030 to curb the climb of the world's 
temperatures, we will be past the point of no return. NEPA was already 
insufficient for the task at hand, and now we don't even have its meager 
protections. Sign the petition and demand that the Trump Administration 
restore NEPA to the way it was meant to be, before it's too late for the 
planet and our people!

                  Thank you for all that you do,

                  P.S. One local conservationist called Trump's plan "a 
massive project that threatens wildlife, exacerbates climate change and 
impacts indigenous culture and food security." Sign today to help stop this 
dangerous change now!
