The Trump administration is cutting the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Star program, which highlights energy efficient home appliances, according to sources and images of slides viewed by The Hill.
According to one source, at a meeting Monday, staffers were told that Energy Star was being eliminated, as is the Climate Protection Partnerships division that houses it.
Staffers were also told that the EPA was cutting its Climate Change division, which includes the agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. This program requires major polluters to report their planet-warming emissions.
The Hill also viewed images of slides from a meeting with staffers that listed both the Climate Protection Partnership division and the Climate Change division as “organization and programs eliminated.”
