As we near the 3rd month of Trumps Presidency, Trump attempts to get rid of all of our Environmental Laws, that the US has built up since Roosevelt's presidency back in the early 1900's. The first red flag was applying Pruitt to head the EPA, an agency he has attempted to destroy, and has sued over 14 times. Unfortunately, the carnage does not stop here, Trump has already signed/ begun voting on a number of executive orders/bills that will dismantle our environmental policies.NJ.com found that," First Trump signed an executive order to get rid of President Obama's Climate Action Plan. Then he threatened millions of acres of wetlands and streams by signing an executive order to eliminate the Waters of the United States rule. Congress even helped Trump sign a law to allow coal mine waste to be dumped directly into streams. Trump, Pruitt and a Republican controlled Congress is a triple threat for the environment. Congress could even pass legislation overturning the law that prevents toxic dumping in our waterways or increasing fracking and oil drilling on public lands and off our coasts. They have already voted to repeal the Antiquities Act that was passed by President Teddy Roosevelt to protect established national monuments". These acts of atrocity have to be stopped
