Washington - President Donald Trump on Tuesday continued his series of executive orders. The 45th president traveled to the Environmental Protection Agency and initially announced his “Energy Independence” order, while flanked by a group of coal miners and executives. The order's main target is the Clean Power Plan brought in under the Obama administration, which required states to reduce carbon emissions from power plants. It also reverses a ban on coal leasing on federal lands, undoes rules to curb methane emissions from oil and gas production and reduces the weight of climate change and carbon emissions in policy and infrastructure permitting decisions.
However, the President appeared to reach out to concerned environmentalists and animal rights activists by issuing a second executive order, entitled the “Endangered Unknown Creature On The Top of My Head Act.” According to Tony Benson, executive director of the World Wildlife Fund, there is only one such creature in existence on the planet. “Protecting this creature, as yet unnamed, has been one of our top priorities for the past 40 or 50 years. It is native to New York City but currently spends most of its time in the nation’s capital while frequently flying to Florida,” said Benson. The creature is thought to be genetically related to the Dodo as well as the Brooklyn Feral Fox.
Numerous attempts have been made to find a suitable mate for the creature, with no success thus far.
