I hope you are as upset as I am about all of President Donald Trump’s rollbacks and repeals of our environmental protections. Trump has eliminated almost 100 environmental rules and regulations. I was particularly concerned when he eliminated the prohibition on dumping bad stuff into our rivers and streams. He has also taken a number of actions that will harm our beautiful national parks and forests, from opening them up to gas and oil drilling and coal mining to removing protection for visitors to methane gas and the other hazards. These are only a few of all the environmental changes Trump has done. This is a real disaster. ~ George Smith
