Since Trump's inauguration, his EPA had announced no major step to address water or air pollution.
That changed today. Trump's EPA BOASTED it plans the biggest rollback of safeguards for health, land, water & air quality in US history. To INCREASE harmful pollution to water, air, to your community.
