Newsom to Trump at wildfire event: "Climate change

H.R.2546 - Protecting America's Wilderness Act. 02/12/2020 Passed by the Yeas and Nays: 231 –
183. 02/13/2020 Received in the Senate
and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. I support HR 2546 - the Protecting America's
Wilderness Act, which was passed in the House and received in the Senate on
February 13, 2020. Protecting the
wilderness is important for preserving sources of clean water, storing carbon
to mitigate climate change, promoting biodiversity, and reminding humanity that
we are interconnected with and interdependent on nature and each other.
