Ooops!! I guess the President didn't get the memo from the DNC that he is actively trying to destroy the planet to enrich himself...as he signed this GOP sponsored bill, which was passed UNANIMOUSLY by BOTH the House and the Senate.
Could be some hope for Congress after all? Maybe a SMIDGEN?
Trump Signs Legislation To Clean Up Millions Of Tons Of Garbage From The World’s Oceans
President Donald Trump added his signature to the “Save Our Seas Act” on Thursday, green-lighting an initiative to clean up eight million tons of debris from the planet’s oceans.
“As president I will continue to do everything I can to stop other nations from making our oceans into their landfills. That’s why I’m pleased – very pleased, I must say – to put my signature on this important legislation,” Trump said as he signed the Save Our Seas Act into law at the Oval Office.
Sponsored by Alaska Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, the bill aims to promote better domestic and international efforts at cleaning up garbage that is littered throughout the oceans. The new law will extend the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Marine Debris Program for another five years, and promote cohesion among different federal agencies on how to reduce marine debris.
The bill has received widespread bi-partisan support among lawmakers, with it passing both the House and Senate unanimously.
“Every year, over 8 million tons of garbage is dumped into our beautiful oceans by many countries of the world. That includes China, that includes Japan, that includes many, many countries,” the president explained. “This waste, trash and debris harms not only marine life, but also fisherman, coastal economies along America’s vast stretches. The bad news is it floats toward us.”
