Attacks on Environmental Protections

The Environmental Protection Agency is tasked with administering some of our nations most essential environmental laws including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Safe Water Drinking Act, and a variety of statutes to protect humans from dangerous chemicals such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act.

Clean air, water, and an environment are issues that everyone supports. These laws protect people from pollution related health problems and, according to the EPA, have been a good economic investment for the country. However, these bedrock environmental laws are constantly at risk of being weakened by members of Congress who are not acting in the interest of their constituents’ health and welfare.

In the 118th Congress, Republicans introduced at least 92 bills attacking our most essential environmental laws and even proposed to entirely eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency. With Republicans controlling the House and Senate in the 119th, it is expected that this number will reach all-time highs.
