Trump Rule Would Overhaul Landmark Environmental Law : NPR

A key part of the administration's proposal centers on whether agencies must consider the cumulative environmental effects of things like pipelines, which have attracted protests by climate activists across the country.

Sanders, Warren: Don’t Roll Back Bail Law

The two leading progressive candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination on Wednesday pushed back publicly against efforts to alter New York's new bail law.

Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren posted to Twitter that it would be a mistake to roll back the law, which ended cash bail for misdemeanor and non-violent felony charges.

"Cash bail is an unreasonably punitive and financially burdensome system that disproportionately victimizes Black and Brown communities," Warren wrote. "Rolling back these reforms would blatantly disregard the voices of New Yorkers who voted to end it."

Sanders pledged to enact a national cashless bail law as president.

One of the biggest changes over the past.

One of the biggest changes over the past year in my camping experiences is I’ve started to do less driving. More often now I will set up camp and park my truck, and walk from there on my adventures.

Solar, well some. It's December.

While motoring can get you farther then you can get on your feet, walking can teach you more about the land and appreciate your surroundings more. Having the solar panel on my truck means I can usually have enough power for subsequent nights especially if I conserve power and have a bright sunny day. It’s kind of nice spending more time near camp rather then putting extra miles on the truck and burning more gas, although it does make the time go by faster it seems.
