- EPA was established in 1970 by Democrats and Republicans working together.
- Congress has enacted a number of bedrock environmental laws that entrust EPA with protecting air, water, and drinking water; addressing the harmful effects of pesticides, chemicals, and hazardous waste; protecting overburdened communities from toxic pollution; tackling climate change; and responding to emergencies.
- The Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act are bipartisan American success stories that have improved the health of Americans across generations while growing the economy.
- America’s bedrock environmental laws cannot be undone without congressional approval, which is why the Trump administration is instead focused on firing the people that put the laws into action.
