  1. One of my proudest professional accomplishments is developing the technological and organizational capacity to actually influence a president's agenda. We used email to apply massive public pressure, enough that Vice-President Gore's inbox had to be turned off for a week. The result: conservationists got the Roadless Rule, in 2001.

    Of course, as with all sane things the federal government does, it's under attack by the fascists.

  6. Hey All - yeah everything sucks but I have an easy actionable thing to channel your rage!
    ⚠️ The US Forest Service is proposing to rescind the Roadless Rule. Created 25 years ago, this rule protects millions of acres from unnecessary roadbuilding and harmful industrial development.

    ✅ What to Do: Send your Congress people a letter, email, fax, call them, to ask them to keep the Roadless Rule.

    There is an automated letter here you can electronically submit that Southern Environmental Law put together: act.selc.org/page/90991

    Free fax contact info of all reps by state: faxzero.com/fax_congress.php

    If this sounds familiar, it is because I posted about it last year when this first came out. *It is still being fought!* So please, speak up again, speak up now. You can also ask them to pass HR3930 while you are at it: "Roadless Area Conservation Act".

    :boost_ok:

    ETA some facts if you write your own:
    - Protects over 50 million acres
    - brings in $15 billion to local economies for recreation alone
    - This site has a nice filter for your state (and even district specific!) eartheconomics.org/news/roadle
    - 99% of the 6,000+ comments were in favor of keeping the Roadless Rule
    - poll datasheet from PEW pew.org/-/media/assets/2026/02
    - The Roadless Act would be actual codified *law* that the forest service couldn't override, which is why this is good to also ask for (otherwise, yes it is essentially the same thing as the Roadless Rule)

  10. Roadless area conservation: No roads, no extractive activities

    Trump pushes to allow new logging in Alaska’s Tongass National Forest
    * "The move would affect more than half of the world’s largest intact temperate rainforest, opening it to potential logging, energy and mining projects. It would undercut a sweeping Clinton administration policy known as the “roadless rule,” which has survived a decades-long legal assault." >>
    geosinstitute.org/past-initiat

    * "Roadless area conservation is a conservation policy limiting road construction and the resulting environmental impact on designated areas of public land...In 'Industrial Tourism and the National Parks': Abbey describes road construction as "unnecessary or destructive development" and the loss of wilderness as a consequence of what he called "industrial tourism", where once-secluded natural areas become popularized and degraded." >>
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadless

    * What Is the Roadless Rule? "Enacted in 2001, the Roadless Area Conservation Rule (Roadless Rule) designated forests across the country as “inventoried roadless areas,” prohibiting the building of — you guessed it, new roads — but also logging and other harmful industries on these lands." >>
