This is scary stuff, especially living in Houston near so many chemical plants. Nothing worse than more toxins polluting our air, and more chemicals spewing into the land, waters, and into the Gulf of Mexico. 100 Days of Destruction The Trump administration has averaged at least one destructive action or proposal every single day of its first three months. It could take a generation or more to repair the damage this administration has done, or proposed to do. From day one, this administration has set out to: Eviscerate the rules we all depend on to protect clean air and water, defend wildlife, and safeguard human health Gut the agencies that stand sentry against toxic pollution and defend our families, communities, and farms from industrial ruin and climate catastrophe Sell off and expose to corporate use hundreds of millions of acres of public lands and federal ocean waters—the natural inheritance of every American. The winners would be oil and gas companies and other corporate polluters. They would have further latitude to despoil our rivers, lakes, and streams; contaminate our air; exploit our natural resources; and threaten our health—with minimal public oversight or risk of penalty. To the extent that the administration succeeds in its assault on the environment, we’ll all pay the price, tallied in more pollution in our air and water; more emergency room visits, lost workdays, and premature death; more wildlife gone and habitat destroyed; and more runaway climate disasters in communities across the country. In some ways, the situation is even worse than that: Instead of building on the environmental progress we’ve made since 1970, this administration is working to turn us back half a century or more. https://www.nrdc.org/media/100-days-destruction
White House Watch: Tracking Attacks on Our Environment & Health Since the Trump administration took office in January 2025, it has taken or proposed at least 100 actions that directly threaten the environment, climate, and human health. NRDC is tracking the mounting hazard and harm. https://www.nrdc.org/resources/white-house-watch-tracking-attacks-our-environment-health This is a great resource for the details of all the updated actions taken, and details listing the danger if each one. It's scary stuff. The destructive actions are listed under these categories: AGRICULTURE & FOOD, BUILDINGS, CLEAN AIR, CLIMATE ADAPTATION, CLIMATE CHANGE, DRINKING WATER, EQUITY & JUSTICE, FOSSIL FUELS, FRESH WATER, HUMAN HEALTH, LANDS & WILDLIFE, OCEANS, RENEWABLE ENERGY, TOXICS, and TRANSPORTATION
