                 For years now, Trump has been threatening to gut the Clean Water Act — specifically, the Waters of the United States Rule (WOTUS), which was an Obama-era regulation that sought to create more consistent protections across all water sources. Wetlands and streams were not previously defined as a water source in need of protection, but the Obama administration recognized the massive ecological effects they have on the larger bodies of water that they feed into. So officials made the smart and eco-friendly decision to include these bodies of water in WOTUS's safeguarding. 

                  But Trump finally did what he so menacingly promised, and removed these updated regulations. Roughly one-third of Americans drink water that can be traced back to these soon-to-be unregulated sources. Additionally, wetlands and streams support a hefty portion of the country's biodiversity. Trump's new rollback is essentially a license to poison animal and plant life that depends on these water sources too. Trump's main goal of cozying up to big industries, aka big polluters, is going to harm countless lives. But as always, there are organizations on the right side of history who plan to sue the Trump administration, citing the clear illegality of the new rule. Sign the petition if you want to see this dangerous new rule reversed so that our water stays clean!
