  1. Keystone Pipeline paused
  2. Record corporate investment in renewables
  3. The resignation of Scott Pruitt
  4. New Congress pushing New Green Deal
  5. Ozone hole to close in our lifetimes
  6. Peru and Chile create new national parks in the millions of acres
  7. Latin America signed a landmark treaty to protect environmental defenders
  8. Pacific Islanders take a lead in protecting the oceans
  9. New Weather Satellite launched
  10. POTUS signed the Save Ours Seas Act
  11. EPA has regulated emissions from heavy trucks
I got this here if you want the details:  "Rare Environmental Victories"
