The Act

2024 - 1 - 2

De mest spektakulære lovgivningsmæssige handlinger - fra Rose Parade til Endangered Species Act

Alzheimer's - American-Canadian Tour - Clean Water Act - Climate Change - Endangered Species Act - Engineering - Inflation Reduction - MI Works! - Rose Parade - The Act II Playhouse

Vil du vide, hvorfor internettet ikke kunne lide åbningsnummeret til Rose Parade? Og hvad Engineering Joy handler om? Få svarene her!

Fra skinnende rumdragter til kampe mod klimaforandringer - lovgivningsmæssige handlinger har ramt overskrifterne. På den ene side forårsagede Rose Parade's åbningsnummer kontroverser på internettet, mens Bulgarien offentliggjorde en ændring af momsloven. På MASS MoCA udforsker EJ Hill fornøjelsesparker og museer som steder med historisk betydning. Samtidig hylder vi 50-års jubilæet for Endangered Species Act, der har markeret en milepæl for dyrebeskyttelse.

Imidlertid er det ikke kun sjov og fest, når det kommer til lovgivning. The Inflation Reduction Act tager en kæmpe løft i retning af klima retfærdighed, og MI Works! fejrer bestemmelsen af 'A Stronger Workforce for America Act'. Så uanset om det er kampen mod klimaforandringer eller beskyttelsen af truede arter, er lovgivningen i bevægelse og former vores verden.

Vidste du, at Endangered Species Act har beskyttet over 1600 arter siden dets vedtagelse i 1973? Og at 'The Act II Playhouse' nu bringer de tre første damer i USA til scenen? Disse lovgivningstiltag har en dybtgående indvirkning på samfundet og miljøet, og deres betydning kan ikke overses.
