By repealing the endangerment finding, the Trump administration is making life more dangerous and more expensive. Renters like Houston’s Faye Ku are especially vulnerable.

“These communities don’t need us here in Washington making [pollution] worse.” Yet that’s exactly what House Republicans voted to do by undermining the Clean Air Act.

We need to protect the Clean Air Act, doctor’s orders. Congresswoman and lung doctor Maxine Dexter knows that if Republicans in Congress get their way and weaken the Clean Air Act, we’d be gutting the tools we need to protect Americans from more asthma attacks, more heart attacks and more cancer diagnoses.

Forget the side parts and skinny jeans—2016 was a huge year for our health.
Congress strengthened the Toxic Substances Control Act to prevent harmful chemicals from entering our everyday products.
Now, 10 years later, House Republicans and the Trump administration are trying to undo these protections, leaving all Americans more vulnerable.

EDF Action retweeted
Energy costs are a top tier issue for voters right now. Thank you, @RoyCooperNC, not just for your leadership on clean energy, but for showing candidates everywhere how to make headway with voters when their opponents aren’t on the side of the people paying the bills.

I oppose the Duke Energy rate hikes. Michael Whatley has the opportunity to do the same and refuses.

Denying what's in black and white won't undo the damage the Trump administration has caused by (unlawfully) cancelling clean energy projects. Americans across the country are feeling the pain.

"Not now. Not ever." Many House Republicans voted ‘yes’ on three separate bills to weaken the Clean Air Act and allow more toxic pollution. Rep. Adelita Grijalva said it right: We will not stand for putting polluters’ profits over our right to breathe.

Something isn’t adding up…
The Trump administration’s EPA now estimates the value of a human life at $0. They’re claiming to save money—when you’re actually paying with your wallet, health and safety.

The Trump administration's proposed budget would slash clean drinking water funds by 90%. Last week, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, asked EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin why cut "the one thing we all agree on"?

By the EPA's own estimates, U.S. water infrastructure needs $1.3 trillion in improvements over the next 20 years. Instead, the federal administration's proposed budget would CUT clean water funds by 90%. The Green Agenda's Kayla Shannon and guest Melodie Marsh discuss what these cuts really mean for communities, like Flint, Michigan, where access to safe drinking water is already limited.

We’ll let you in on a little secret…
We had the pleasure of meeting up with climate advocate Saad Amer for some spicy takes that climate deniers don’t want you to know!

The Trump administration is handing out free passes to polluters, like this smelter in Miami, AZ. These passes allow billion-dollar companies to skip out on low-cost solutions that reduce lead, arsenic and other toxics in the plant's emissions.
EDF General Counsel Vickie Patton spoke with Arizona's Family about how this pollution is impacting the local community.

The Trump administration gave out free passes to pollute to every company that requested one—including a copper smelter in Arizona spewing lead and arsenic into the air just one mile from an elementary school.

63% of American adults think the government isn’t doing enough to protect our health and safety. And EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin claims people are "happy" with his policies?

The EPA exists to protect our health and safety, not to enrich polluters. But the Trump administration has used the agency to hand out free passes to pollute to every power plant that requested one—and even to some that didn't!
