Law

Very unlikely to pass

This is a non-binding resolution that does not create new laws. Because it contains language criticizing current policy shifts, it is unlikely to be brought for a vote by the opposing party.

Key Points

This resolution officially recognizes Earth Day and its history of starting the modern environmental movement. It calls on the government to prioritize protecting the air, water, and land for future generations.
The proposal urges the United States to rejoin the Paris Agreement, which is an international plan to fight climate change. It also asks for a formal proclamation to honor Earth Day every year on April 22.
It highlights the importance of existing laws that keep our water clean and our air breathable. The resolution warns that removing these protections could lead to more pollution and health problems for families across the country.
The resolution encourages everyday Americans to take action in their own communities. This includes things like planting trees, picking up litter, and learning from indigenous groups about how to care for nature.
It reaffirms that the government should focus on creating green jobs and investing in clean energy. The goal is to reduce the pollution that causes global warming while helping communities that are most at risk from extreme weather.
