From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americans are reclaiming \u2018environmentalism\u2019 from the radical left.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certain words and phrases take on new meaning as time goes by, often due to the politicization of our language. A clear example of such evolution is in regard to what it means to be an environmentalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decades ago, concern for the environment largely centered on keeping the land free of clutter, the water protected from contamination, and the cities unpolluted by soot and smog. One of the major environmentalist movements of the 1960s was fronted by then-First Lady \u201cLady Bird\u201d Johnson, who initiated a campaign to \u201cKeep America Beautiful.\u201d Johnson explained that her passion for beautification was in perfect concert with other important objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGetting on the subject of beautification is like picking up a tangled skein of wool,\u201d she wrote<\/a> in a 1965 diary entry. \u201cAll the threads are interwoven \u2013 recreation and pollution and mental health, and the crime rate, and rapid transit, and highway beautification, and the war on poverty, and parks \u2013 national, state and local. It is hard to hitch the conversation into one straight line, because everything leads to something else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign to clean up the national landscape was bolstered by a heavy rotation of public service television ads showing litter along highways, waterways and parks, and imploring people to \u201cKeep America Beautiful.\u201d Most famous in the long-running campaign was an early 1970s ad<\/a> ending with a closeup of actor Iron Eyes Cody, a teardrop falling from one eye as he surveyed a polluted environment. (Cody turned out to be an Italian American<\/a>, not a Native American as portrayed, but that\u2019s another story.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as the \u201cglobal warming\u201d movement came into vogue, the definition of environmentalism began to shift. Leftwing media, politicians and organizations began to define environmentalism almost solely on the basis of adherence to its greenhouse gas theories and its demonization of the fossil fuel industry. In their world, anyone supporting our most reliable and dependable energy sources \u2013 natural gas, fuel oil and coal \u2013 disqualified themselves as environmentalists. In fact, they were accused of being \u201canti-environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too often, the left\u2019s political targets played right into their hands, struggling to defend themselves and sometimes even downplaying or ridiculing the importance of a clean environment. By allowing \u201cenvironmentalism\u201d to be redefined and coopted by the radical left, true environmentalism was lost. Fortunately, a recent action by President Trump will help reverse course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the passage and signing of the \u201cOne Big, Beautiful Bill\u201d grabbed most of the attention over the Independence Day weekend, an executive order signed by Trump on July 3 may have an even more lasting impact. The president\u2019s \u201cMake America Beautiful Again\u201d order, \u201cestablish(ed) a council tasked with conserving public lands, protecting wildlife populations and ensuring clean drinking water,\u201d as the Washington Post<\/a> described it, while adding that the order remained \u201csilent on climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Post and other leftwing news outlets cling to the \u201cclimate change\u201d definition of environmentalism, Trump\u2019s executive order is a first step toward reclaiming the term and unifying the country around the concept of a cleaner world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s order decrees<\/a> that all federal land management agencies will \u201cpromote responsible stewardship of natural resources while driving economic growth, expand access to public lands and waters for recreation, hunting, and fishing, encourage responsible, voluntary conservation efforts, cut bureaucratic delays that hinder effective environmental management, and recover America\u2019s fish and wildlife populations through proactive, voluntary, on-the-ground collaborative conservation efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s order was inspired by the years-long efforts of 27-year-old Benji Backer, a \u201cconservative environmentalist\u201d who leads a group called, \u201cNature is Nonpartisan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis issue needs to get out of the culture wars,\u201d Backer told the Post. \u201cPeople just are so divided over President Trump, right? But if he could do one thing that brings people together, and it\u2019s protecting the environment, it would change the course of the issue forever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By returning \u201cenvironmentalism\u201d to its original purpose of protecting the air, land and water, the Trump administration will open the doors for those targeted by the left as environmental villains, welcoming everyone \u2013 right, left, middle \u2013 to actively engage in real environmentalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who provide America and the world with our most affordable and reliable energy sources have long cared about preserving the environment, in particular by investing in new technologies that make traditional energy cleaner than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies used to extract natural gas have allowed the United States<\/a> to lead all major industrialized countries in carbon reductions. Home heating oil burner emissions have been reduced<\/a> to near zero levels, while the sulfur content has been reduced from 1% to about 0.5%. And rapidly evolving coal plant technology<\/a> means that modern pollution controls reduce nitrogen oxides by 83%, sulfur dioxide by 98%, and particulate matter by 99.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Benji Backer says, it\u2019s time to move environmentalism out of the realm of the culture wars. Americans across the political spectrum love the environment and understand the need to protect it. Led by the president\u2019s \u201cMake America Beautiful Again\u201d commission, the day is here when we can once again declare in unison that we are all environmentalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
