“The United States has accomplished more on climate change under the Biden administration than during any other presidential administration—and there’s still more to come.”—American Progress
“Anyone who thinks Trump is a good thing for the environment is delusional.”—Wes Clark Jr
“Government and bureaucracy became bad words in the United States in the 1980s, but people should understand that bureaucracy is quite literally the foundation of civilization. Without bureaucracy, there is no civilization because the foundations of it were in canal building and irrigation back in ancient times, and it just evolves like everything else does.”—Wes Clark Jr
“I’m voting for the environment. I’m voting for Joe Biden.-HSC
Inspired by our Speakeasy with Wes Clark Jr, I tweeted out that line above about voting for the environment, and then I tagged a report from American Progress that shows no administration has take more climate action than Joe Biden’s and backed it up with the facts.
Looking so forward to sharing highlights from our interview with Wes on environmental messaging in a few minutes at Bette’s Happy Hour, where I will offer a summary of some of the best narratives Wes shared with us, and I will also walk viewers through my Zero Days to Waste thread on Twitter from 2019 — a vital reminder thread on the environmental destruction under Trump that I hope will empower this activist group with a detailed understanding of the stakes and how to best message that knowledge to your various networks.
Among my favorite comments from Wes yesterday: “Anyone who thinks Trump will be good for the environment is delusional.”
We got this.
