Rethinking Strategy in the Era of the Trump EPA | Great Lakes Now “We have an opossum Congress: it rolls over and plays dead instead of facing its aggressor,” says Chicago’s Cameron Davis.

Grateful for the opportunity to interview with Great Lakes Now about Trumps proposed budget cuts to the EPA and what that means moving forward. Without strong local EPA presence and ongoing funding, environmental protections—and the hard-earned environmental progress of decades—are at serious risk.

Water and energy use is growing as data centers are built across the Midwest and Great Plains Data centers are expanding across the central U.S. to meet growing demand for artificial intelligence. That's raising concerns about growing energy demand and freshwater usage.

In light MWRD’s recent Water Reuse Resolution getting passed, closed loop recycling is finally on the table. Water reuse is a fancy term for water recycling. With the privilege of living in the most water rich region on Earth, we have a responsibility to conserve our water for future generations.

On July 28th, we (EPA workers, environmental advocates, and AFGE Local 704 union) gathered at Federal Plaza to protest Trump's harmful attacks on our environment — with plans to rescind the 'endangerment finding'. The EPA is crucial to regulating greenhouse gases and protecting our environment!
