Project 2025 provides a detailed description of what a Donald Trump presidency would mean for environmental concerns. Although not yet official policy, Project 2025, put together by the right-wing Heritage Foundation with authors including former high-level Trump team members to guide policy under a Trump presidency.

The document is crystal clear in its goal of dismantling environmental regulations and prioritizing fossil fuel use. A Trump presidency would pursue these goals and aim to weaken or repeal environmental regulations that limit air and water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and endangered species protections; reduce funding for environmental agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; increase fossil fuel development by opening public lands for oil and gas drilling and expediting permits for pipelines; and shift us away from a focus on clean energy.

Please vote and encourage others to vote for a president and candidates for all offices that will protect our environment and our shared home, the Earth.
