Donald Trump has put the Environmental Protection Agency in the crosshairs. He and his new EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt have launched a multi-front assault on the agency responsible for protecting human health and the natural environment.

In just his first 10 days heading the agency, Pruitt and Trump have:

Stalled proposed standards for safe beaches that could protect swimmers from toxic algae blooms that can cause liver damage and kidney failure.
Put off renewing regulations about what records sewage sludge treatment plants are required to keep, records that help the EPA target offenders.
Delayed long-planned regulations that would limit releases of toxic gasses by some especially troublesome sewage treatment plants, including those affecting three of the nation’s biggest cities.

(Myself, I don't care for them. I worry the Trump monograms on the sheets and pillows will cut my skin.)

2. His new budget proposes

a cut from $300m to $10m for Great Lakes cleanup projects, the worlds greatest concentration of freshwater.
