Replay Part I:
The Trump 2016-2020
Environmental Record

With Bob DiBenedetto
& Katherine Congdon

LISTEN HERE: Replay–The Trump Environmental Record 2016-2020

Join HealthyPlanet’s Bob DiBenedetto and co-host Katherine Congdon to hear a partial countdown of items from a New York Times analysis of nearly 100 environmental rules and regulations that were officially reversed, revoked, or otherwise rolled back under the Trump administration from 2016 to 2019. The analysis is based on research from Harvard Law School and Columbia Law School.”

Since past actions are the best predictors of future behavior, and with the crucial elections in the US just five months away, we felt it valuable to rebroadcast this show, which originally aired at the end of Donald Trump’s presidency in 2019.

His record revealed a stark pattern of prioritizing short-term profits for polluting industries over the health and well-being of the American public. This is no shock, coming from an administration that appointed a coal industry lobbyist to head up the Environmental Protection Agency—a classic example of the fox guarding the hen house.

This laissez-faire attitude toward polluters manifested in everything from removing regulations on toxic pollutants to allowing oil drilling on waters off the Atlantic coast to engaging in a “fire sale” of our pristine public lands—virtually giving them away to miners, drillers, and more. 

Listen in for crucial information essential to voters who prioritize protecting our life support system. This is especially relevant at a time when leading experts worldwide are warning us that the stability of our society in the coming decades is at risk …  if we don’t take action now.
