President Obama Permanently Protects More Than One Million Acres Of Public Lands
“By creating these three new national monuments, President Obama is continuing his commitment to preserving America’s treasured places and cementing his well-deserved place in conservation history,” Gene Karpinski, president of the League of Conservation Voters told the Hill. “The president acted in response to the overwhelming support expressed by local communities and stakeholders across the country for protecting these places of extraordinary environmental, historic, and scientific value.”

Americans aren't even done celebrating last week's creation of 3 new national monuments, and anti-conservation members are busy attacking the law that made the monuments possible. Rep. Cresent Hardy from Nev. just passed an amendment that would limit the use of the Antiquities Act. And chairman of the House Natural Resources committee Rep. Rob Bishop even said “the Antiquities Act is EVIL IN THE FLESH."

President Obama announces new EPA protection of waterways
"The Clean Water Rule, which was finalized by the EPA and the U.S. Army, aims to protect water sources from "pollution and degradation," according to an EPA press release.
"For the water in the rivers and lakes in our communities that flow to our drinking water to be clean, the streams and wetlands that feed them need to be clean too," EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said.
McCarthy said the rule will only affect waters that have a connection to larger bodies of water, such as rivers and lakes, which are already protected under The Clean Water Act. According to the EPA, one in three Americans get their drinking water from streams that are vulnerable to pollution."
