Hi all,
You’ve probably seen this great editorial from
the New York Times on how the next administration might undo the unprecedented damage we’ve seen done to the environment under Donald Trump, the most anti-nature president in history. 30x30 (“set aside nearly one-third of America’s land and water for protection”)
is amongst the policy options praised in the last paragraph as a “new and welcome environmental ethic in the Oval Office.”
Below you’ll find some tweets we’ve put together to amplify this editorial. Feel free to adapt the language to best fit the voice and needs of your organization, and please reach out with any questions! Any help to boost this is much
appreciated.
Reversing the damage done to the environment by the Trump administration will take bold new ideas to fight climate change and guarantee nature's benefits to all. That's why a goal to conserve 30% of US
lands & waters is on the table. #Protect30x30

Selling the Arctic Refuge off to oil and gas interests is the latest in a string of bad decisions by the Trump admin that gut the health of our planet amidst a pandemic. Future admins will have to think
big and work hard to undo the damage #Protect30x30 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/22/opinion/sunday/trump-biden-environment-climate-change.html
The numbers are in: the Trump admin is the most anti-nature in history, selling off #PublicLands and dismantling environmental protections in the midst of the #COVID19 pandemic when we need them most.
Here's how a future admin can work to undo the damage

The Trump admin is not only letting #COVID19 spiral out of control but also selling off the #PublicLands & clean air that are essential to recovery. Here's how the next admin must tackle this pandemic
AND the environmental deregulation that exacerbated it: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/22/opinion/sunday/trump-biden-environment-climate-change.html
From gutting NEPA to selling off sacred #PublicLands, the Trump admin has set us back in the fight against climate change, enviro destruction & pandemics like #COVID19. Future admins will need to think
big and work hard to undo the damage. #Protect30x30 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/22/opinion/sunday/trump-biden-environment-climate-change.html
