70% Informative

Environmental groups are gearing up for another term of environmental rollbacks.

The last time Trump was president, he slashed air and water protections, replacing them with weaker rules that, over time, were expected to lead to thousands more deaths from pollution.

Project 2025 calls for a “major reorganization” of the EPA that would slash the number of full-time positions.

Environmental groups are undeterred, saying they've been through this before.

State and local leaders formed a coalition to fill in the gaps in federal leadership on climate change after Trump was first elected in 2016 .

Sierra Club’s legal team filed more than 300 lawsuits against the Trump administration challenging its environmental rollbacks.
