No one wants to live in a dirtier world — but that’s the direction the Trump administration’s policies are taking us:
- More pollution that harms people’s health
- More toxic chemicals in air and water
- More extreme weather, fueled by pollution that’s making the planet hotter
This is costing you: your health, your safety and your money.
To protect the people and the places we love, we’ll have to hold our leaders accountable, and drastically cut pollution too.
How Trump administration policies are costing you
By removing limits on air pollution, weakening chemical safety checks and ignoring water contamination, Trump administration policies put millions of Americans — especially kids and seniors — directly in harm’s way.
That means more asthma attacks and a higher risk of cancer and other health problems from polluted air and water.
It’s not just our health at stake — insurance costs and grocery bills are on the rise. And household utility bills are estimated to increase because the administration supports aging coal plants over cleaner, less expensive sources of energy.
All that as the administration’s attacks on clean energy have already killed tens of thousands of good-paying American jobs and are putting even more at risk.
What we can do to turn things around
It’s not too late to change course. Environmental Defense Fund has a proven track record of combining rigorous science and economics while working with a wide range of partners to solve problems just like these.
So let’s build an economy together that works for everyone, creates high-paying jobs, protects our environment and creates a brighter future for our children.
