Assistant Attorney General Todd Kim addressed a gathering at a volunteer service event in Washington, D.C., to mark Earth Day. He expressed gratitude to Washington Parks & People for their partnership in revitalizing greenspaces and highlighted the importance of their work in line with the Earth Day theme of "Planet versus Plastics." Kim also drew attention to Marvin Gaye's advocacy for the environment and the ongoing global efforts to negotiate a treaty to end plastic pollution.
Kim commended the dedication of those working towards environmental causes and emphasized the significance of their contributions for current and future generations. He underscored the division's commitment to celebrating Earth Day through community service projects and highlighted the accomplishments of the Environment and Natural Resources Division in the past year, including significant financial recoveries and successful outcomes in various enforcement cases.
