It's not just fdr. One of the things the epa did not long after it was formed was document the nation's pollution via photography. That can seem frivolous, but generations of Americans have no idea why the EPA was necessary. This broke a million views when we published it in 2017
This is what America looked like before the EPA cleaned it up
A snapshot from America before the impact of the EPA and the effects of rules regulating clean water and air were felt.

Very sad to learn that the First National Nature Assessment has been terminated by the current administration. Nature is so important, and our research on nature and health will continue in other ways. Thanks to all the co-authors and federal employees who have been part of this journey so far.
Just came home from a great writeshop at the University of Vermont. It was amazing to meet the other authors of the Nature and Human Health chapter of the First National Nature Assessment. Thanks to the @gundinstitute.bsky.social for being a wonderful host!
