LIBRA ♎️
It’s a little bit ironic, don’t you think, that the scales of justice are weighing in the balance—and it’s your birthday?!
With the U.S. Presidential election happening next month and the Sun in Libra until October 22nd, the next few weeks are shaping up to be some of the most important of 2020.
Libra is the sign of the peacemaker. You are a natural diplomat, capable of considering multiple perspectives on almost every subject, but you also know the difference between right and wrong and are a fierce advocate for justice.
The future of the ocean is riding on this election. Heavy, we know. But we know your interest in the facts and we’re here to share them with you.
Close to 100 environmental policies were rollbacked in the United State in the past four years. Here’s a shortlist of policies we’re concerned about, as reported by the New York Times:
The ban on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge has been lifted.
Water pollution regulations for fracking on federal and Indian lands has been rescinded.
An Obama-era executive order designed to preserve ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes waters has been revoked in favor of a policy focused on energy production and economic growth.
Pollution protections for certain tributaries and wetlands that were regulated under the Clean Water Act by the Obama administration were scaled back.

We’ve been thinking a lot about the 100 environmental policy reversals that happened over the last four years.

On November 3rd, #VoteTheOcean with us to ensure a future with clean seas.
From water pollution regulations associated with fracking repealed on federal and Indigenous lands to seismic air guns which have devastating consequences on marine life and opening drilling in Alaska, the environment is under threat now more than ever.
