Vision for Environmental and Natural Resources

Environmental and Natural Resources
1

Let’s find common-sense nominees who will safeguard the natural bounty that unites us – clean water, breathable air, healthy soil, and popular access to the outdoors. These leaders will understand that good environmental policy supports our health, economy and well-being, and that we can also achieve energy independence at the same time. Other areas are in the Vision below. New submissions are currently paused.

Protection of our God-given natural world fuels our health, our economy, our security, and our spiritual well being. President Trump needs America’s best common sense leaders to ensure clean water, breathable air, healthy soil, and popular access to the great outdoors for all Americans. He rejects the political weaponization of environmental initiatives designed to stifle economic growth, control and divide us. Instead, he seeks to celebrate and safeguard the natural bounty that unites us as our shared American birthright.

President Trump and RFK agree that, in the words of Bobby himself, “good environmental policy is, in all cases, good economic policy,” and that air, water, and soil can be protected arm-in-arm with achieving energy independence and delivering great prosperity for all.

The recent devastation in southeastern United States is tragic yes but what is worse is that it appears the devastation was caused by weather modification in order to imminent domain the land involved.
Western North Carolina and that area that was hit by the hurricanes have recently been designated as one of the largest lithium mines in the world. Further the wildfires in Wyoming has also revealed that there is a rare earth mine in Wyoming that is also imminent domain by the government.
It is my strong position that both of these areas that were purposely destroyed people killed livelihoods lost livestock killed homes washed away SHOULD NEVER BE DEVELOPED INTO For Profit MINES.
But instead should be memorial state parks for at least a hundred years in memory of those who lost so much to such a ruthless administration.

Lastly, the toxic mud left from the hurricanes could easily and quickly be remediated by planting hemp all over Western North Carolina. Within one year all of the toxicity could be eliminated and jobs provided as well as emotional and psychological relief from the trauma by legalizing cannabis recreationally and medicinally at the federal and States level. As well as planting copious amounts of hemp throughout the Carolinas Tennessee Georgia and Florida.

FEMA and the governments (state/local) response for a “natural disaster.”

For the people/familes caught in a natural disaster(s) area, WE the people demand upon our governments the following as a minimum:

  1. Once state/national government declare an emergency, FEMA and government agencies should be pre positioned with adequate resources (rescue teams, recovery teams, food/shelter supplies, etc.).

  2. Area(s) designated as a disaster zone; families/people should automatically have auto/mortgages placed on a six-12 month hold. WE the people continue to see the lack of empathy towards those who have lost their livelihoods. This will provide a “breather” and allow insurance companies and even our own government agencies to do a thorough job in determining the safety/risks in zoned areas. EXAMPLE: Lahaina residents were told and expected to pay for homes/cars destroyed by the fires. Yet the state/federal government blocked off and stopped all accessible areas to locals/insurance companies to do their jobs, recovery and claims. EXAMPLE 2: Western North Carolina, same.

  3. Keep politics out. Media. State. Federal coverage. Truthful reporting at all levels. Online, real time displays that WE the people can see for ourselves. EXAMPLE. Election year. What is the actual death toll from hurricane Helene? What contaminated all the water and soils that has caused cadaver dogs to die? Causing great illnesses? All this should NOT be kept a secret. WE the people demand the optics.

  4. NO LAND GRABS from any/all natural/man made disasters.

  5. FEMA transparency across the board. Prioritize disaster payments first to those who lost everything vs businesses. One set payout to persons/families up front, NO repayment loans. Get rid of the recovery ponzi schemes in disaster recovery, from paid for profits, big businesses subcontracting three+ levels.

Think about it America.

Camp Fire survivor here - I’d like to add passing a stand alone bill for Diaster Victims such as Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2023 (H.R. 5863) or something similar. We have had bipartisan support but somehow it always falls short, especially around election times. Disaster survivors are experiencing tax burden that, coupled with record inflation on top of high legal fees and costly bureaucratic delays, has meant many did not have enough to rebuild their lives.

I see that there are some submissions here that are either not serious or are a joke (such as Greta Thunberg). Therefore, I would like to be a nominee in the Environmental category.

I am skilled in forest conservation, with experience in reforestation projects, invasive species control, and habitat restoration. Demonstrated ability to work effectively in team settings and independently, with strong problem-solving skills and adaptability to changing environments. Contributed to increasing the health and sustainability of forests through strategic conservation practices.

I have a Bachelor’s in Environmental Science, and a passion for invasive species removal. I was an Environmental Technician at my last job for Otto’s Environmental Improvements. Listed below are highlights/activities from said job:

• Identified invasive plants, such as bush honeysuckle, Bradford pears, and other weeds.
• Removed undesirable and/or invasive trees, shrubs, and vines with hand tools and chainsaws, then applied herbicide, fed material into a woodchipper, and/or brush mowed.
• Promoted the company using various advertising methods.
• Participated in trail maintenance activities.
• Attended training sessions on topics such as safety protocols or new technologies used in the field of conservation.
• Participated in regular team meetings to discuss upcoming work assignments or review completed tasks.

I hope I’ll be considered, even though I showed up after submissions were closed.

I’d like to make the case for land protection without confiscation by the federal government into preserves that are banned from public use. God gave us the land of America, for our benefit. We should not have to pay for hunting and fishing. Sure there should be limits, but we should not have to be beholden to government licensure and big corporations to feed ourselves. We should be free to gather from our own land to feed our families, to keep chickens and use our own yards for growing food, without regulation. And I should be free to sell what I grow to anyone who wants to buy it. Victory gardens should be the norm.

Will you open up the nominations and remove those who have no votes? I would like to submit myself and see MORE serious candidates.

I am honored to nominate myself as a candidate for the Environmental and Natural Resources initiative, inspired by the shared vision of protecting America’s natural resources, promoting energy independence, and ensuring equitable access to our nation’s natural bounty. With an extensive background in sustainable agriculture and a strong commitment to the environment, I am passionate about promoting practical, economically sound approaches to environmental stewardship.

As a farmer dedicated to sustainable practices, I have gained firsthand knowledge of the essential relationship between healthy soil, clean water, and vibrant ecosystems. Over the years, I have worked to incorporate innovative systems, including hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics, to cultivate crops in ways that conserve water, reduce pesticide use, and yield nutrient-dense produce. My expertise also extends to sustainable animal husbandry and managing natural resources in ways that support long-term soil health and biodiversity.

In line with President Trump’s and RFK’s shared perspective, I believe that robust environmental policy not only safeguards our natural resources but also bolsters economic growth, strengthens food security, and enhances our nation’s independence. I strongly advocate for urban agriculture solutions, such as establishing hydroponic towers within cities across America, to bring fresh produce closer to urban populations, reduce food deserts, and create local jobs.

  • Hydroponics and Urban Agriculture: I believe every major city should host massive warehouses of hydroponic towers. These urban farms would not only provide fresh, nutritious food to local communities but also reduce our carbon footprint by cutting transportation costs. By integrating such structures, cities can become more self-reliant, healthier, and environmentally conscious.
  • Sustainable Water Management: Clean water is essential to both agriculture and community health. I support policies that protect our waterways from pollution while promoting sustainable farming practices that conserve water through innovative irrigation technologies.
  • Clean Energy and Energy Independence: In my work, I have witnessed the benefits of renewable energy sources in agriculture, including solar-powered systems and energy-efficient greenhouses. I firmly believe that integrating these technologies can help achieve the energy independence goals crucial for both economic growth and environmental protection.
  • Soil and Ecosystem Preservation: As a steward of the land, I understand that healthy soil is foundational to all life. I am committed to regenerative agriculture techniques that enhance soil health, increase biodiversity, and reduce reliance on synthetic inputs. These practices not only benefit the land but also support the resilience of our food systems and rural economies.

I am deeply aligned with the initiative’s goal to prevent the politicization of environmental policy, maintaining a focus on strategies that unite Americans through our shared values of health, well-being, and prosperity. By supporting practical solutions grounded in common sense, we can protect the environment in ways that empower local economies, honor our heritage, and respect the future of our natural world.

Thank you for considering my nomination. I am eager to contribute my expertise and passion for sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship to a vision that ensures a thriving, healthy environment for all Americans.

Sincerely,
John “JT” Tracy

While I appreciate the emphasis on common-sense leadership for environmental protection and agree with the sentiment that good environmental policy should align with economic prosperity, there are critical considerations that must be addressed.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s background indeed makes him a prominent figure in the realm of environmental law and policy, especially given his efforts in protecting watersheds and challenging polluting industries. However, the integration of environmental policy with energy independence under President Trump’s administration has raised several concerns due to:

  1. Conflicts of Interest: There’s a notable apprehension about the influence of the energy sector, particularly those industries with significant environmental impact, on policy decisions. The past appointment to the EPA, for example, has been seen by many as a move prioritizing industry interests over environmental stewardship.

  2. Regulatory Rollbacks: The rollback of regulations that many view as essential for protecting air, water, and soil quality has been a point of contention. These changes are not just a concern of one political side but resonate across a broad bipartisan spectrum, especially when considering the health implications surrounding Superfund sites.

  3. Balancing Act: The relationship between energy, environment, and health is intricate. Achieving energy independence should not come at the cost of environmental degradation. The health of our food, water, and air directly correlates with our well-being, and thus, maintaining a balance is not just good policy but a necessity for sustainable living.

In light of these points, it’s crucial for the Trump administration to acknowledge and address these concerns:

  • Transparency and Accountability: Ensuring that policy decisions are made transparently, with accountability to environmental impacts, is imperative.

  • Inclusive Policymaking: Engaging with environmental experts, advocates, and impacted communities can lead to more balanced policy outcomes.

  • Reevaluation of Priorities: There should be a reevaluation of how environmental regulations are approached, aiming for policies that foster both economic growth and environmental integrity.

I hope for an approach where environmental protection and energy policy work in harmony, recognizing that our natural resources are not just commodities for economic gain but are fundamental to our health and the legacy we leave for future generations.

For some strange reason (related to MJ?) during the 1950’s hemp production was discarded and made illegal in the USA (until recently) but many other countries have been using hemp in home construction for generations with great success. The US needs to embrace this sustainable, less polluting form of home construction. Unfortunately, the USA does not have the proper processing facilities to take all the hurd waste from the farms producing CBD oil in order to package and sell it to the US consumers/builders so we are forced to buy the hemp from Europe which drastically increases the price of building with this material. If we grew, packaged and sold it in the US, it would be price competitive with more polluting forms of building insulation, wall boards, roofing materials while eliminating the need for lots of other toxic materials altogether.
