The environment is self-sustaining on its own. After all, everything in the natural environment has survived for millions of years without man’s help. If you think of it, man’s greatest contribution to this planet involves its ultimate destruction. We are so good at destroying things. We even manage to wipe out one species to the next because of poaching and illegal hunting. But now, the environment needs our help because of the irreparable damage we have caused Mother Nature. However, for any conservation effort to truly work, it needs sufficient funding that no private organization can actually provide, only the government. And besides, it is also the state’s responsibility to enforce conservation measures to salvage what is left of the environment.

It is quite obvious that President Trump is determined to abolish the EPA, albeit in a rush. Experts say that Trump will have a hard time abolishing an entire government agency and a mere executive order won’t do the job. It entails time and planning especially that Congress is yet to determine the next steps on the various functions assigned to this agency in particular. EPA has been around since the 70s to protect and promote the health of the Americans and the US environment but it might be gone soon because President Trump was clear in his intentions of entirely getting rid of it or just leave a little behind once he wins the election – and he did.
