As #SCOTUS gleefully twists the knife with this #EPA ruling condemning America to banana republic status, I’ll be over here in a fetal position, quietly sobbing. When I began my 40-year #environmental consulting career in 1974, I spent 2.5 years analyzing and validating #AirQuality and meteorology data much of which formed the basis for federal and regional AQ standards for electric generation utilities. Watching everything I did getting trashed is a total gut punch.
@Saorsa I will never give up! That’s why, when people ask whether their followers would leave the country if things get worse, I always say, “No. somebody has to fight for the people falling - or being thrown - through the shredded safety net.”
@cassandra17lina I am beyond angry!
@cassandra17lina oh Cassandra, I can't imagine. It's a gut punch to me & I'm just a fanatic about recycling, water use, fuel use, etc. It's not over yet, your important work is not in vain. We will continue to fight. 💜
@cassandra17lina . So many shocks this week. Stay faithful. This cannot stand.
@cassandra17lina That really is a gut punch. I'm sorry you've had to take that hit. In my short career at Greenpeace I had that experience with incinerators here where I live. They're still here and I'm reminded frequently of that.
Remember though that none of this is over unless we give up. I'm thinking you're someone that doesn't give up. Take some time to do a little self care. The work will be there when you're ready.
