While there are many groups and organizations making laudable efforts to model and advocate for sound environmental practices supporting Earth’s sustainability, government agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Interior, are being undermined by economic greed and hubris. These agencies, managed by officials placed by the current administration, are charged with reversing laws and regulations protecting the environment as well as public health.
