ACC Applauds President Trump for Prioritizing One Trillion Trees Initiative in His State of the Union Address
The American Conservation Coalition (ACC) is supportive of President Trump’s inclusion of environmental issues in his 2020 State of the Union Address. Conservative solutions to the pressing environmental issues that we face are crucial to paving a pragmatic path forward, and the President’s prioritization of these issues is a significant step toward these solutions being accepted and implemented. President Trump’s mention of One Trillion Trees is indicative of the shift that is occurring toward more conservative solutions to environmental challenges.
ACC’s Government Affairs Director Quill Robinson said: “Environmental protection and fighting climate change are global challenges. The One Trillion Trees initiative is an ambitious plan that will benefit Americans and people around the world. The success of humans and the health of the environment are inseparable. We applaud President Trump for championing the One Trillion Trees initiative and look forward to working with him on the many environmental challenges we face, including climate change.”
ACC is encouraged by the President’s mention of these issues, and applauds his acknowledgement of America’s energy dominance around the world. We look forward to more positive steps being taken in the future to present bold conservative solutions to the challenges we face.
