The Bay Area’s environmental community has expressed alarm at the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency. Among the items that have activists concerned are his repeated remarks about abolishing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a budget-cutting method. Trump has called the EPA a “disgrace” and has said that possibly only “a little” of the environment should be left over after businesses do their work. This month’s cover story explores what might happen if the EPA were eliminated at a federal level, as Trump has proposed. Photo: iStock.com/shakzu
