While the Republican members of Congress applaud Trump’s executive order, basically eliminating the Clean Water Act and start the dismantling of the EPA, I wonder which town will be the first to reap the devastating effects.
These Acts and Agencies, that are being so recklessly repealed and abandoned, were created out of the necessity to protect the majority of our citizens from the few who would pollute and destroy our water, land and air for the sake of profit and greed.
We only have to look to Flint, Michigan to see what happens when municipalities or businesses disregard the laws or when there are no laws to protect citizens.
In the passing of time we will all have to pay the price for sitting on the sideline watching years of advancements in clean water, air and the evironment be rolled back and pollution becomes the trademark of business. There is a saying: “You Are What You Eat”. Well, I will give you a new saying “The Water, Air and Land you do not protect today, will kill you Tomorrow”.
