EDF has been fighting for a better future for over 50 years — and we’re stepping up that fight as the Trump administration moves to erode the United States’ environmental protections.
No one wants to live in a dirtier world. But that’s the direction the administration’s policies are taking us: More pollution that harms people’s health. More toxic chemicals in air and water. Escalating extreme weather, fueled by a hotter planet.
Plans to abandon clean energy investments will make America weaker, sending jobs to other countries, raising energy prices and burdening future generations with worse pollution, storms and wildfires.
But history isn’t preordained — it’s shaped by the actions we take together. We can’t stop working in tough times. In this pivotal moment for America, here’s how EDF is showing up for the fight.
