Harpers Ferry Resident Urges EPA to Protect Environmental Standards
In a scathing opinion published in The Shepherdstown Chronicle, Gary Towne argues that the Trump administration's proposal to reconsider the EPA's endangerment finding poses a direct threat to public health and the environment. This finding, crucial for enforcing emissions regulations on vehicles and industries, has roots in scientific evidence illustrating the dangers of greenhouse gases. As towns like Harpers Ferry experience the impacts of climate change through extreme weather events, the proposed regulatory rollbacks could reverse hard-won progress. Towne calls for renewed efforts to maintain vital environmental protections to safeguard communities and ensure a healthier future.
