The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created to protect human health and the environment, but its role and scope continue to raise questions across the political spectrum. Some see it as essential for safeguarding air, water, and land, while others question how regulations affect economic growth, local control, and personal choice. At this meeting, we’ll explore how people think about environmental protection and the role of government in shaping it.
We’ll ask questions such as:
- How do you personally experience environmental protections (such as clean air, water, or land use) in your daily life?
- How will future generations experience the effects of today’s policies?
- In what ways do environmental regulations help or hinder communities, businesses, or individuals?
- How should decisions about environmental protection be made—at the federal, state, or local level?
- Do you think the EPA fulfills the role it was originally intended to?
This will be an opportunity to explore different perspectives on environmental responsibility, government involvement, and how we balance competing priorities.
Please do your best to arrive at the beginning of the meeting – once we are in breakout rooms and the conversations have started, the meeting doors close to new arrivals. The breakout rooms open (and the doors close) approximately 15 minutes after the hour.
