This is a big deal: Within hours of taking office, President Biden followed through on several of his campaign promises.
He got us back into the Paris Agreement. He reversed a number of President Trump's disastrous environmental rollbacks. And he revoked the permit for the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
It's a solid start, and we're thankful. But we know there's plenty more work ahead.
Here's what we're calling for next: An end to new fossil fuel leasing on public lands. This was one of Joe Biden's promises on the campaign trail, and it's exactly what we hope to see in the coming days.
Public lands belong to all Americans—and in 2020, Americans made it clear that they want leaders who will protect those lands rather than allow them to become vehicles for private profit.
