Just One Good Thing: Restoring Protected Lands with Biden-Harris

Just One Good Thing: Daily Political News about the 2024 Election, Kamala Harris and Democratic Achievements.

In this episode, we talk about the Biden-Harris administration's efforts to protect America's natural treasures.
President Biden restored protections for three national monuments that were reduced by the Trump administration: Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante in Utah, and the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument off the New England coast.
This action safeguards over 3.2 million acres of land and ocean, preserving them for future generations and respecting the cultural heritage of Indigenous peoples. We discuss how protecting these areas creates jobs in tourism and outdoor recreation, with outdoor recreation generating $887 billion in consumer spending annually and supporting 7.6 million American jobs. Engaging in these conversations and staying informed is vital as the election approaches.
