Recall The Cuyahoga River Fire, 1969?

It wasn't really the first time a river in the US caught on fire, and it wasn't the first time the Cuyahoga River caught on fire.

The pcture of a ship engulfed in flames published by Time Magazine, was from a fire on the same river, 17 years earlier, because there's no known pic of the 1969 fire.

Trump surely remembers it, because he loves Time Magazine, and used to have a fake cover of himself on its cover as man of the year.

A march from Cleveland State U. to the river marked the inaugural Earth Day in 1970.

When I was a kid, I recall a couple of occasions when we got diverted to Burbank instead of LAX, due to pollution.

Environmental regulations mean that you don't have to "see" the air you're breathing in California.

Yesterday, Trump ditched most EPA environmental protections. Maybe he doesn't recall the Cuyahoga river fire.

I've repeatedly said that Trump doesn't care about the environment. I knew this was coming. It was just a matter of when.

Now it's back to the water table contamination, as well as the poor air quality. More Cancers and other health disorders, on top of that as well, throughout the whole USA.

Lets not forget what strip mining does either the ecology. Or the toxic wastes involved in rare earth mining. Or the oil spills in the ocean.

It goes on and on and on.

Trump doesn't care.
