"In the wake of the #USSupremeCourt decision that weakened the #EPA’s capacity to protect wetlands, we explore the role of wetlands in sustainability, #biodiversity, and the economy. What might the decision mean for our environment, and economy? We examine #SackettVsEPA, in a broader context what this means for the implementation of the #CleanWaterAct, what it means specifically for #wetlands."

June 22nd: Due to high pollution levels in the water, the #CuyahogaRiver in #Cleveland, #Ohio, catches fire, one of at least 14 times it has done so. The event advances the passing of the #CleanWaterAct and the creation of the #EnvironmentalProtectionAgency.
In 1969.

Half the nation's wetlands just lost federal protection. Their fate is up to states
"Last month, a U.S. Supreme Court decision struck down federal protections for wetlands covering tens of millions of acres across the country, leaving no regulation of those areas in nearly half the states. "

SCOTUS strikes again. Even Brett Kavanaugh objected to the new test of a protected wetland as defined in the majority opinion on this one. Sacket v. EPA. #wetlands #CleanWaterAct #SCOTUS

Another bad decision by the conservatives. #SCOTUS, #cleanWaterAct.
"majority decision basically says that evolving with current scientific information is a bad thing"
allowing the people to get #smarter is now considered a bad thing;
we are not going to be allowed to get smarter.
This is another step in the destruction of the #democracy, not allowing our regulation
to improve with better #science.

In what environmentalists called a "catastrophic limitation", the shitty fucking joke of what we call the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to sharply limit the EPA’s ability to protect wetlands.
A conservative majority held that the agency’s authority under the Clean Water Act covered only wetlands connected to larger bodies of water.

On the one hand, the conservative #SCOTUS ruling restricting federal protection of #wetlands to only those that connect on the surface to a waterway is pretty awful and dangerous and all that.
On the other hand, if we didn't have a nihilistic power party, the #GOP, in control of half our government, we could *legislate* stronger language for the #CleanWaterAct that wouldn't allow SCOTUS to so rule.

"The impact of [today's Supreme Court decision] could lead to the removal of millions of miles of streams and millions of acres of wetlands from the [Clean Water Act's] protection. Basic protections necessary to ensure clean, healthy water for human consumption and enjoyment will be lost."
