Earth day 55 years later

On April twenty -two, 1970, when we first celebrated International Earth Day, the streets of US cities occupied more than 20 million protesters who represented ten percent of the United States at the time. They raised their voice against the increasing destruction of the environment caused by the post -war boom of consumer capitalism. Their requirements have encouraged the establishment of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the adoption of several laws to protect humans, animals and nature from pollution.

55 years later, the United States is ruled by the President, which, under the pretext of the emergency and wastefulness of the bureaucratic apparatus, is decomposed by public institutions, including the Environmental Protection Agency. He placed his man Lee Zeldin on her forehead, who announced the mass forgiveness of employees, the abolition of the entire scientific research department with over a thousand scientists, the elimination of dozens of environmental measures and the ignition of the requirements for reporting companies on greenhouse emissions. He described the planned changes to the end of the climate religion and the beginning of the golden age of America. From the outside, they look more like the end of American democracy and change to the third world country – except for a handful of cork.
