The Trump administration’s EPA is touting their progress in improving air quality, but let us be clear, the progress that has been made is no thanks to the current administration. #EPAat50 #AQAW2020

When you look beyond this tweet, the hypocrisy becomes very clear. While cheering clean air progress, the Trump administration and EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler are engaging in a full-on assault on clean air and other public health protections. act.ucsusa.org/3bIBjlZ

Three recent attacks include:
❌Rolling back vehicle efficiency standards
❌Refusing to strengthen particulate matter air pollution standards
❌Undermining power plant mercury protections blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/t…

While we've been busy dealing with the #coronavirus pandemic, the administration has moved full-speed ahead on weakening public health protections and giving industry a free pass. act.ucsusa.org/33XcC1o
