A former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official has spoken out against recent budget cuts and deregulation efforts, warning of potential environmental and public health risks. The Trump administration’s push to roll back regulations aimed at controlling pollution, emissions, and water safety has sparked concern among experts.
Supporters argue that reducing regulations boosts economic growth and eliminates bureaucratic red tape, while critics warn of long-term environmental consequences. The former official emphasized the importance of maintaining safeguards to protect air and water quality, urging policymakers to prioritize public health over short-term economic gains.
The debate over environmental policy remains a contentious issue, with lasting implications for future generations.
