While it's true that Biden is ignoring more important issues I have no problem with a program to plant more trees.
I believe this should be a standard for every administration.
It pretty much has been, as just about every president had some kind of initiative to re-forest our country.
President Trump signed an XO to plant a trillion trees. During the first three years of the Trump Administration, the Department of the Interior alone planted more than 58 million trees and was on track to plant an additional 22 million trees by the end of 2020. TRUMP also called for the passage of the REPLANT Act (S. 4357) to help address the Forest Service’s reforestation backlog and continued annual reforestation needs, and also the introduction of the Trillion Trees Act (H.R. 5859), a bipartisan bill to plant one trillion trees globally and encourage the use of wood products for carbon sequestration.
It is the president's duty to look after the US Re-forestation needs. And all of them did a pretty good job doing so. And give Donnie some well deserved credit for doing a good job for at least trying to get er' done. At one time, Trump was credited for creating over 140,000 jobs for carrying out his order to plant the trees.
Biden is just trying to do his job of Re-forestation-in-chief, and carry that torch through his time in office, and doing a good job, as he has already provided the funding to do so. And he got bi-partisan support to get his Bill signed where the money will come from now.
Trump was never able to fully fund his Re-forestation efforts because of Republican resistance in Congress, but the Democrats were all on board with Trump's Re-forestation efforts in a very non-partisan way.
If Donald Trump could have gotten the funding to complete his projects on Re-forestation, this would have been the largest Contribution to the preservation of trees in America since Theodore Roosevelt. Looks like now Biden will get that honor!
It is a damn shame that TRUMP could not get his Republicans to sign on to it. PITY! Republicans are just Deplorable, and they care nothing about our environment or preservation of our natural resources.
