*[Enwl-eng] This Trump plan would destroy the ocean

[ecology]

Government employees are trying to fight back - let's help


                        Donald Trump wants to blow up international 
agreement and open the Pacific Ocean to deep sea mining.

                        This is a massive global emergency with consequences 
we can't even imagine: the President of one island in the mining zone calls 
it "playing gods with the cradle of life".

                        Fortunately, the US government department in charge 
of the final regulations has insisted on a public comment period. We need as 
many people as possible to speak out and give them justification to act 
against Trump:

                         Stop Trump's Ocean Destruction


            Donald Trump just announced he’s going to open the Pacific Ocean 
to deep sea mining!

            That means his friends will get permits to vacuum up the ocean 
floor, destroy irreplaceable marine life, and make billions – for 
destabilizing the entire planet’s ecosystem.

            This is the kind of chaos Trump brings. But the government 
department in charge of the final regulations has insisted on a public 
comment period, which means civil servants who care about the environment 
will be reviewing all our objections – and could put a stop to Trump’s plan.

            We need as many people as possible to speak out and give them 
justification to act:

            Sign and share now to save the ocean from Trump!

            Scientists estimate there’s an unbelievable 1.5 million 
undiscovered species in the ocean. We know next to nothing about the 
ecosystem that underpins all life on Earth – it’s like an alien planet right 
at home.

            That’s why scientists, experts, environmentalists, and everyone 
with a heart or a brain has urged extreme caution before greedy 
industrialists start mining the deepest, most vulnerable parts of the ocean 
for minerals. Almost every country in the world has agreed to caution – but 
not the US.

            That doesn’t mean we can’t stop this. We’re seeing how courts 
and ordinary workers can get in the way of the worst of Trump’s plans. And 
this deep sea mining plan affects the entire world – so hearing from across 
the world is critical. Most of the ocean floor Trump is targeting isn’t even 
in US territorial waters!

            The world has to survive 4 years of Trump. If he’s poisoned our 
oceans by the time he leaves, his impact will carry on for generations.

            Sign and share to stop Trump from destroying the ocean
