What's happening here in the US is very
00:00:01
different, right? The current federal
00:00:03
administration is actively taking away
00:00:05
nature protections. Think about the
00:00:07
waters of the US, the Endangered Species
00:00:09
Act. And I think in general, we see both
00:00:13
in the US and in Europe a pretty
00:00:14
alarming speed of deterioration of our
00:00:17
natural ecosystems. And I think this
00:00:19
this approach to trade a quick economic
00:00:22
gain here in the US by weakening those
00:00:24
standards is unbelievably short-sighted.
00:00:26
And I really hope that everyone can
00:00:28
agree, you know, whether you're
00:00:29
Republican, Democrat, or independent,
00:00:31
that we all benefit from the beauty and
00:00:34
the economic value of our natural land.
