found that areas with increased air pollution could have higher rates of coronavirus infections.
Drew Shindell, a professor at Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment, told ABC News that cleaner air can also provide some mental health relief during the pandemic. A combo shows buildings on November 8, 2018 and after air pollution level started to drop during a 21-day nationwide lockdown to slow the spreading of coronavirus disease , in New Delhi, India, April 8, 2020.In some cases, such as in China, India and the mountainous regions of the U.S., people have been able to see their horizons clearly for the first time in years without any smog.
The professor noted that the air quality in both of those incidences went back to their dirtier levels after the events ended, and it is highly likely that the same thing will happen whenever shelter-in-place orders are fully lifted.The downtown Phoenix skyline is easier to see, April 7, 2020, as fewer motorists in Arizona are driving, following the state stay-at-home order due to the coronavirus, and it appears to be improving the air quality.
Did anyone tell him the tree planting all about saving the earth and closely associated with climate change?
Is Melania drunk?
Nice
Look! First day either of them has actually worked in their life! grifters
Not necessarily, you can view it from your window, on line from drone footage, leave Earth alone, it is trying to refresh it's self, humans are damaging it! STAY HOME!
Although the earths atmosphere is probably the cleanest it’s been in 50years!
Maybe we should take heed and learn something.
The only other time that Melania has held a shovel was when Donsld's bullshit got too high in the apartment...
Melania and the President can not lift a shovel without help?
ilmessaggeroit LaStampa corriereny nessuno di questi buoni a niente porta la mascherina!! SocialDistancing Covid_19 coronavirus
Great social distancing!
I would like to be updated on the date the tree dies.
TheView All not wearing a mask and not standing 6 feet apart. Why even bother anymore 🙄
Trees gon die...
In New York, landscapers can cut and maintain lawns but they can’t engage in any planting due to how close workers need to be to plant. Guess this is not the case with the current Squatter in the White House. I don’t think his base is really into Earth Day anyhow.
That was probably the hardest he's worked since he took office.
Golden shovels and shoveling assistants. 🤣
老外也喜欢做样子？
Then he poured battery acid into the hole because fuck trees 😈
Social distancing at its finest
The last tree he planted died of natural causes. The irony of the most horrible President, with respect to the environment pretty much assures this one will commit suicide.
Donald Trump has never had to do a hard day's work in his life, or an easy day's work for that matter. At least Melania did golddigging.... er, I mean 'modeling'.
Trump has a lot of practice at digging holes. Look at the one he put us in with Covid
Trump has harmed the Earth and environment with his policies more than any president in recent history. Absolutely disgusting to see him “celebrating” Earth Day. Just another distraction from his failures.
Digging graves, very timely
I always wear stilettos when I plant trees....So fake!
ABC please. 🤦🏾♂️
No social distancing...no gloves...no masks what a disgrace
Tomorrow Trump will light this tree on fire for GOP day
Really? She need help to use a shovel. Damn, Michelle Obama would be all up in there !
Some of the most pathetic shit I've ever witnessed.🤮
Love the masks and how well each is practicing social distancing. Well done 👍🏻! maga
For Hindus everyday is earth day. Around 🌎 every Hindu temple have peace ; shanti chant everyday. A peaceful religion praying for All humanity. 🌺🌺🕉♥️🌺🌺
No social distancing? No masks? 🤢😷
Melania doesn’t even know how to use a spade? She married the biggest producer of bullshit, I think that’s weird
Lol
I normally don’t wear stilettos and a dress while shoveling dirt, but there’s no excuse for ImpeachedPresidenttRUMP. Maybe it’s the bone spurs.
I thought they were doing ceremonial grave digging. Don’t get dirt on your shoes, asshole.
cool
Wow. Shovels are hard.
Wow they must pooped after that workout maybe he won’t hold a rally today!
What a fucking joke
2 minute instructions on how to use a shovel.
TheView Well that's just SAD, Flotus.
FREE PRESS Please F/U with THIS Tree CAUSE EVERY THING/BODY realDonaldTrump IncompetentInChief POTUS WhiteHouse GETS NEAR TO if not already MORALLY AND SPIRITUALLY BANKRUPT Don’t SURVIVE
FFS! too painful to watch, such incompetence
I really don’t know how he does it. He must work 24 hours a day. And bravo to find time for the little sweet things
They don’t even know what a shovel is🤣
Omg she can’t use the shovel. Take a vitamin lady. My goodness.
They look foolish
People who never did one second of physical labor in their lives should not have photo shoots with shovels unless they are digging a grave which, in this case, may be a real possibility.
Look... Trump dressed his monkey up in the same suit... WTH... he screwed that up too! Different tie! Lol 😂 poor Pence...
It will be dead soon
Seems very possible that he has never lifted a shovel before. He’s looking at the dirt like first man looked at fire 🔥
Let’s see how long it takes them to make this one disappear.
🤣 so IRONIC after HE retire USA from THE “Paris Agreedmet 🤣🤣🤣
Why...when he has rolled back so many environmental protections ?
Digging graves
TheView Pence is felling pretty comfy with Trump right now! Grabbing the handle of the shovel could cause an out burst from Donald! He doesn’t like anyone taking his moment away! PS. Were the Hell are your masks & couldn’t you have had 4 Shovels and been standing 6’ apart! Poor Examples!
TheView Chances are, standing this close, they are digging their grave!
These idiots are without masks gloves or anything and they are so close together it’s ridiculous that’s really an example to all America what not to do
MELANIATRUMP phony over the hill call girl.
Oh pleeez
Malignia needs help hoisting a SHOVEL?
Don’t get your hands dirty potus. I’m with you
Well damn did she really need help with that shovel? The life of privilege is a mutha 😁
Mike_Pence doing Absolutely nothing as usual.
TheView Wow they can't lift a shovel without assistance. What about social distancing and mask.what a joke
TheView Idiots!
HYPOCRITE!!! realDonaldTrump POTUS
Dear Donny Douche and your wife summers eve,
Sure, that’s how most people look when digging.
They can’t make the logical connection between pick up dirt and empty shovel, then repeat Jesusfuckingchrist these fucktards.
This is all fine, BUT why haven’t you taken a trip to NY to the frontlines of this pandemic!!!
Why does Melanie have to have help with one small pile of dirt? Are her kidneys acting up again?
someone dig a bigger hole and push him in it
Way to be social distancing! trump are the perfect example of what NOT to do.
Digging America’s collective grave
Weak, weak, weak.....Plant a tree and repeal all parts of EPA is what chit by design does best. Be Best, Donald. (sarcasm at its best)
With Melania wearing a pair of heels...
screwing with that nice lawn.
Looking for buried treasure, no doubt.
ZERO STAR POWER.
What fake all if then
The only other time he has handled a shovel is when he was burying the bodies...🤪
No masks, no gloves, no social distancing. COVIDIOTS
any body else notice the lack of dress under Melania's overcoat. the wind blew around 28:20 of the presidents address and her coat blew open and there was something obviously missing. thoughts?
Who wears heels to a tree planting?
No social distancing
Those are some specimens.
I don’t support realDonaldTrump in any matter!! He’s a racist clown 🤡 that adds gas ⛽️ to the fire 🔥
Oh come on, how fake looking is this. 🙄😂 They are all wearing their 'tree planting' attire and appear to have never used a shovel in their lives. EarthDay
Really, they did not have 2 more shovels? Where is the 6ft distance .... pathetic,they have not done anything to protect the earth...
Ridiculous!
TheView Should’ve jumped in first
First time fatass shoveled anything besides shit.
Burying Joe Biden’s chances
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Atleast he did something good this month
Stupidity at its worst.
Fragile Melania needed help.
Aww ❤️
Pathetic that our president does not know how to use a shovel!
Where’s the ducking masks
lol, this is so awkward...
What a joke
Omg no words 😳
Melania have bigger hands
What a whole bunch....
Clown show.
About as worthless an effort as his Covid-19 response.
LOOK! He’s digging his own grave
He needs two hands to drink & needs a third to use a shovel. It's no doubt the most actual labor he's done in his lifetime.
Nobody plants a tree in high heels.
That was awkward
Oh my heels
TheView Where are their masks!
Lol
TheView High heels to plant a tree! Both need help with a shovel! What a couple of jokes!
That was probably the hardest thing he has ever done, I mean picking up a shovel and tossing some dirt to the side oh my the man must be tired
He's trying to find his commonsense but I think he'll have better luck at a Proctoligist..
Looked like he was ready to tip over picking up about 2 pounds of dirt. Lmfao!!
So POWERFULLY hilarious 🤣 Tremendously foolish looking. realDonaldTrump POTUS VP WhiteHouse GOP 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡✅🤡✅🤡🤡✅
Can't help but notice that Trump can't even shovel dirt on his own.
Literally one of the most pathetic photo ops ever.
Omg! That is hilarious.
abc7ellen Would of been better if he jumped in the hole 1st then add dirt.
Where was the social distancing here
Looks like another grave for Coronavirus victims. DC cemeteries must be overflowing. TrumpPandemic
Click For Full Picture
The founder of 'Earth Day' died earlier this month to cheers of thanksgiving! Ira Einhorn, known as 'The Unicorn Killer', was an American environmental activist and convicted murderer.
Politicians seem the think they’re exempt to COVID19
Where's the tree? Lol
Love the way that Pence grasps that handle
😂😂😂 can't scoop a shovel of dirt, but I am guessing that they're both in excellent shape! fake Liars
what a pair of monkeys!
No masks, no gloves,no social distances. And why can’t Melania hold a shovel on her own.
No social distancing there
Dumbfucks.
TheView Isn't Melania a little overdressed? What's up with the coat and heels?
It takes two to use a shovel when you wear heals to do the job.
Or let it open and get out of the way!!!!🤨
Thanks for clearing that up. I thought they were helping out digging mass graves.
Well, that's four people who had to be told what a shovel was five minutes prior.
They don’t even know how to handle a shovel.
They are actually burying a body.
Quick! Someone push Trump in the hole!
“Hey, I’ll trade you a ventilator for 2 more shovels.” DJT
Digging his resting place
TheView Nobody is wearing a mask, gloves and practicing social distancing of at least six feet. Oh well, I guess it's Executive Privilege.
With high hills on😂😂😂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👎🏼🤮🤮🤮
How many republicans does it take to dig a hole?
Ummmm 6 feet and where are the f*cking masks?
No masks and Melania I Don't Care Jacket.
TheView The hypocrisy makes me sick. I detest these people.
Just get the tests and the PPE. Do your job, Trump.
Melania was very upset. 'You told me we were digging his grave!!'
Pls dig deep enough and jump in
This answers the question: How many morons does it take to shovel a bucket of dirt?
fbencomoc Like he CARES
They don’t fuuking know how to shovel dirt without hands on assistance, how fuuking embarrassing!
TheView Social Distancing?Not At the White House?
The Trumps can’t even use a shovel. Useless pair.
Melania is struggling
Messistfc Pasrichapragya honestly thought this was a meme. Apparently not.
Not exactly candidates for the CCC or WPA.
you'd think they'd splurge and get 4 shovels.
Didn’t the last tree he planted DIE? with maybe Macron? ETTD
They surely didn’t know how to do that, lol.
Look at the social distancing there .. what a complete idiot
Omg Melania needs help to operate a shovel
Trump is to stupid to use a shovel. Pence had to help him. Thats whats running our country.
He should be made to shovel grave dirt on the coffins.
How pathetic is this? Why do they bother to go through the meaningless motions. It’s clear none of them have the slightest idea how to use a shovel. I’m not sure Melania had ever seen one before.
The best President ever
Is M wearing her “I Really Don’t Care, Do You?” coat?
TheView What a joke
To bad he’s not shoveling the dirt of some of those asshat Dems
Republicans pictured here working
It will die like everything he touches .
Wtf! I’ve heard of “umbrella handlers”, but “shovel handlers”
Metaphor alert
This shows how blatant the president Trump is to the people of America that he is shoving shit live on TV everyday and here they are planting one tree.
I'm more convinced than ever that Pence is the caretaker that changes Trump's Depends.
Learn something new every day, did not know Louboutin made gardening stilettos.
LOL...... neither of then know how to use a bloody shovel!! What a ridiculous piece of surreal theater from the climate denying trumps
Is that Melania? About time she showed her face. She hast been doing much lately. Thought maybe she smartened up and left WH.
His first time doing manual labor...
BURYING DEAD BODIES...
High heels in grass. It’s like she’s never stepped off walkway in her life 🤷♂️
Plant a dildo
Keep digging and then jump in.
Why is this so awkward?
Guess 2 more shovels weren't in the budget......
As awkward as any other politician I’ve seen do this.
😂 how ridiculous is FLOTUS to wear heels for this photo op. Lipstick on a pig....
Great! Now can we invest in renewable energy? In the spirit of earth day. Since, you know, our dependence on fossil fuels and unwillingness to regulate the pollution they create is killing the earth? After all, our money will burn with us!
Burying a few more bodies.
Hes digging graves
In my mind, all four of them just fell face first into the ground like toppling dominoes.
TheView You can tell neither one of them is used to manual labour.
🤣🤣🤡
That SOIL not “dirt” is very poor quality. The hole size is too small for the tree. Poor tree.
Is this where they buried the Constitution?
I have no words. If you know me, that’s surprising.
That’s just gross. They don’t even know how to shovel. And why is Melancholia wearing those shoes?
Seriously!! Shoveling dirt in high heels! And the funniest part, they need help with the shovels!!
It'll die.
realDonaldTrump getting his annual workout in. Does he even know how to spell EarthDay?
WTF is Pence doing? He's just lost all perspective of rational behavior when it comes to his dotard.
Thought was practicing digging graves
Impressive move by VP Mike_Pence.
TheView They don’t have two more shovels?
They are helping to dig their own graves
Everything they do just sucks
Pence had to help Trump lift the shovel😂😂😂😂.WEAK!!!
No social distancing, no masks or gloves...
How come they aren't practicing social distancing
Melania is wearing spiked heels to plant a tree. Seems unnecessarily complicated but of course to each their own.
first US Showman and Showwoman
Destroying the environment on the other 364 days. EarthDay2020 ETTD TrumpGenocide
Look at this mess!!!
I love how they aren't quite sure what to do with the dirt.
What an odd group of incompetent people.
I’m sure he would be more adept using a fork and spoon
Social distancing?!!!!?!
hows about, next year, we have a Green New Deal enacting ceremony instead.
Ironic since he doesn't believe in climate change and has gutted all environmental protections.
Great social distancing!!
Why ? the last one the did died...
TheView who career? he threwaway and killed the one France gave him with Marcon Everything Trump touches dies remember this?
But what is the front range in CO like right now?
My beautiful Islamabad. ♥
Who writes this garbage should be fired useless information. 🤷♂️
Now do the empty bank accounts and people losing weight because they are starving.
Let’s make the clear skies permanent!
I’m wondering if Coronavirus is God’s way of telling us to stop destroying our planet.
I don't disagree things are better with less human activity, however these aren't a good comparison. They are taken years apart and aren't even taken at the same time of the day. See Venice, one is at dawn/dusk and one is in broad day, the third pic has several new buildings.
More Fake news...ABC is so full of shit...the air quality maybe improving but these aren't examples of it
FYI we still have all the cows. Don’t blame the moo moos
I smell photoshop!
People really are a virus 🦠 for the planet 🌎 😢
the world is healing...
Who want to visit Islamabad after lockdown over ? I am ready for hospitality 💕💕💕
It’s almost like if you took pictures a different times, under different lighting conditions, they’d look different. Mind blowing revelations.

Serve God, the creator...not the creation
I'm sure that true environmentalists are thrilled to stay indoors and watch the reports of clean air from all over the globe. It's actually fascinating to see how much this pandemic has helped our environment, even if only temporarily.
The Earth is winning the fight against the Homo Sapiens virus.
California Data beginning to reflect that it may have been around for months before it began hitting the high risk groups at notable levels. With every passing day the mortality rate drops. It is basically now a new flu with no vaccine. The response was the disaster.
Then go outside and celebrate it, just stay away from other people! You all act like you're going to blow up instantly if you take one step outside.
