Here's an idea: 🔥 More wildfires in America's forests 💰 Spend MILLIONS of dollars to do it If that sounds crazy, it is! 🌲 But there's something we can do about it...

More Roads = More Wildfires
The Trump Administration wants to bulldoze America’s forests & make wildfires more likely, but we still have time to stop the repeal of the Roadless Forest Rule.

🔥 6.5 million acres have already burned this year! 🌱 Much of that land was burned by "high-severity fire" — which means seeds & cones were incinerated, killing the forests' natural ability to regrow 💡 But there is hope for what happens next...

It's easy to view wildfires as a problem for our planet and our health. Wildfire smoke kills ~24,000 Americans every year! But unnatural disasters like mega-fires don't just hurt our lungs. They can also hurt our mental health 💔 So I decided to open up about that...
