President Donald Trump released an Earth Day statement touting his commitment to protecting the environment, despite doing the exact opposite in the first few months of his administration.
Americans are rightly grateful for these God-given gifts and have an obligation to safeguard them for future generations,” Trump said in the statement Saturday.
“My Administration is committed to keeping our air and water clean, to preserving our forests, lakes, and open spaces, and to protecting endangered species,”.
In his first 100 days as president, Trump has moved to eliminate several protections for the environment.
“Rigorous science is critical to my Administration’s efforts to achieve the twin goals of economic growth and environmental protection,” Trump said.
But under Trump, the EPA’s Office of Science and Technology has removed “science” from its mission statement.
His administration has proposed gigantic cuts to biomedical and scientific research and, the EPA and environmental programs. »
