 climate-change-in   

The EPA web site is being re-written – a lot of information is being thrown out the window. Sad day for fact collectors and scientist.

The EPA is far from the only federal agency to get a Trump EPA Nixes Decades Bills being sent to committee

EPA Nixes Decades

The Elkhart people were able to get a $50 million settlement, but with the laws changing, this may not be possible today. The environment around you is changing, please VOTE for people to protect our resources, take a note on the bills in committee and request your representative to vote against them .
