What’s This Blog About?

Pulling Weeds is a blog written by West Virginia University graduate Marshall Kesterson. It focuses on the newest developments regarding environmental policy in the United States and current environmental crisis occurring in the U.S. The primary goal of the blog is to analyze the role of the Environmental Protection Agency in the era of United States President Donald J. Trump. The blog will cover topics such as EPA policy changes, analyses of environmental data and newly-released scientific studies, how policy changes impact people and businesses, and the politics surrounding decisions made by the EPA. The secondary focus of this blog is to provide information on environmental policy being passed on both the state and federal levels of government. The purpose of writing this blog is to provide my readers with all the information they need to understand the latest developments in the EPA and environmental legislation while also providing enough context about issues so that they can recognize why the changes are important.
