A federal database tracking pollution in the United States that was accessible to the public has been shut down by the Trump administration

So I guess the obvious question is:

What is it that Trump doesn't want us to know about chemicals and pollution?

Of course Trump shut it down. What you don't know won't hurt you, right?

And he surely wouldn't want you tracking Monsanto's trail of pollution.

Database is still there.

Hit the generate report button, its already setup to give you all data for 2018

They are also still collecting data.

Good

Swamp is pollution.

Swamp is clean out.

No longer needed.



Nothing to see here move along

Yes, it's there but all you get is rows and rows of chemicals and total numbers of locations. You cannot find any actual locations or track individual pollution-producing factories. Apparently that is what they don't want you to know.

You can no longer access the TOXNET map which was where you could see all that and was located here:

The only explanation for its shutdown is it was "retired".

This is no good. Another Big Oil Suck-Up courtesy of Trump, for whom I will vote again.

Also for chemical companies like Monsanto.

Your logic makes perfect sense and Monsanto says "thank you!".

Money talks.

Thread: Monsanto donated big to Donald Trump and Trump owns stock in gmo companies so forget about protecting the American food supply

Did you guys bother to ask “why?”

excellent

America doesn't have pollution creating factories

they all went to china because of retarded Liberal regulations

I hope he destroys all the data

That is probably the most ignorant thing I have read on GLP all week, and that's saying something.

Consider the source. lol

OK, I know TOXMAP and used to use it in my work. It baffles me why Trump would want to shut it down.

Full disclosure time:

I'm an environmentalist. Back when the air in Hackensack smelled like rubber farts, and the pristine lakes in upstate NY were devoid of fish, I got really upset about it. But I thought environmental activists were impractical. I was a math and science nerd in love with ham radio and bicycling.

First year of college, I took a short course called "Field Trips to Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants" offered by a visiting prof from New Zealand, and a couple weeks later switched from electrical engineering.

I got a degree in Geography & Environmental Engineering. Took a year off. Bicycled twice across the US. Got a degree in Sanitary Engineering and Water Resources.

I worked for 40 years doing what I though would make a difference. I had college friends who did the same, worked for EPA, and went into environmental law to fight the polluters.

We're all retiring now, and each of us can look back, and look around.

It wasn't enough. For every one of us, there were 10 people who didn't give a shit. And there was the rest of the world that just wanted to develop, for a more secure life, with better food and a place to sleep.

Leave the campsite better than you found it, my Mom said. We tried.

OK boomer?

As for Trump, he is an ignorant, senile douchebag who knows less than nothing about the environment.

This is unacceptable for intelligent creatures....fix that.

People such as the above do not qualify as intelligent creatures.

OK, a BS flag.

Care to elaborate which part of what OP posted is BS?

Nah, they will just come back and start aping the "FAKE NEWS!!!" excuse.

It’s called “Jake news". lol

Good. It was just another shitface obama scam.
