Stop Andrew Wheeler

NRDC tracks the Andrew Wheeler's assaults on our environment and health.

The EPA needs a leader committed to its mission to safeguard our health and environment.

Like Scott Pruitt before him, the current acting administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has spent the last six months rolling back environmental and health protections.

The agency is trying to undo safeguards that help to save tens of thousands of lives a year.

The EPA’s new definition of the Obama-era safeguard would allow polluters to dirty our critically important streams, tributaries, and wetlands—and threaten the water supply of millions of Americans.

The EPA’s move will increase planet-warming carbon emissions at a time when rest of the world is trying to fight climate change.

On the surface, it may seem like the Trump administration cares about our kids and their health, but its actions—and inactions—reveal the opposite.

The proposed rule would increase dangerous air pollution from coal-fired power plants, harming public health and stymieing efforts at the state and local levels to move toward clean energy and combat climate change. Worst of all, low-income families will bear the biggest burden.

The Office on Children's Health Protections worked to safeguard one of our most vulnerable populations—kids, babies, and fetuses—from environmental dangers.

This is the second time the agency is trying to roll back a rule that protects public health and helps the fight against climate change.

NRDC submitted comments telling the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to drop this unfounded and illegal idea.

If Scott Pruitt gets booted from his EPA post, his new deputy, a former coal-industry lobbyist, could take his place.

Coal pollutes the environment, makes people sick, and contributes to climate change.

The EPA administrator’s exit is a win for people and the planet.

Trump likens our “inner cities” to war zones . . . then guts the programs geared to safeguard clean air and water for low-income communities of color.

Trump's EPA has announced plans to try to repeal the Clean Power Plan—and deny Americans annual health benefits that include avoiding 3,600 premature deaths; 90,000 asthma attacks in children; 1,700 hospital admissions; and 300,000 missed days of school and work.

The EPA is taking dangerous, unlawful, and alarming steps to dismantle the long-standing TSCA program for reviewing the safety of new chemicals before they are allowed on the market.
