Barack Obama is destroying the anti-environment politics of the past
Now, after one hundred days with Barack Obama as President Americans start to see quite clearly that the President has rapidly begun turning is promises from the election into deeds. The American president has not taken up speed to minimize the damage the Bush administration has done within the environmental field of politics. After these short hundred days the people of America and those around the world can see that the Obama administration is already working harder than the Bush administration had ever done within the eight years of George Bush being President.
During these 100 days of the Obama regime the President has started a movement to stop industries that are mining near mountaintops to discard their waste in rivers. The waste that lands in rivers pollutes the environment in the surrounding and can change the water that flows through the country in such a way as to harm the wildlife and plants that come downstream for miles.
The American President is also interested in removing some laws passed during the presidency of George W. Bush. Together with the Environmental Protection Agency the laws for emissions from coal power plants have been in discussion and have come to the conclusion that there should be laws and regulations that fit the new regime that wants to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Barack Obama and his administration have also requested reports on every federal project that might affect threatened or endangered species which would give insight on which projects are inflicting the most damage to the wildlife in the U.S.
The new President in the U.S. has shown that he is ready to tackle the objectives in the future. The first steps have been made toward a more ecological way of life in the united states but America is still far behind when it comes to the climate change goals that have been made. Many people hope that Barack Obama can handle both climate change and the growing problems caused by the global financial crisis. One fact has become clear during these hundred days of change: The majority of the American people are pleased with the changes made and that there is change as promised by the President himself.
