Career related website

Hi guys! Today I'm going to talk about a career related website that I visit a lot, which is the US Enviromental Protection Agency. 
https://www.epa.gov/
I used to read EPA news releases like when I found an intresting article or when I wanted to read more about something related, I checked the website each one or two weeks. But in summer because of a internship I made in the Enviromental Department of AES Gener (which is one of the most important electric generating companies worldwide) I had to be always aware of the enviromental news, specially in topics related to emission, standars, changes in regulation and general EPA's statements, because they always were the most important organism in enviromental matters and lot of enviromental department of different countries were guided by them, for example when they have to set emission standards, cause they were a "reliable quotation"; the situation inside EPA was something that most of the people in the company were attentive to EPA's situation since Trump got elected as US President, specially for his statements made in Twitter in 2012, what he said was "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.", statement he maintained during his capaign and current government, and since EPA corresponds to a state agency, the administrator is designated by the current US President, Donald Trump. For this reason on february 17th Scott Pruitt was declared as the EPA's Administrator

, él es abogado y se ha desempeñado "defendiendo la contaminación", pues ha declarado estar en contra del activismo realizado por la EPA y, al igual que Trump, del acuerdo de Paris, además durante el trabajo desempeñado como Governador de Oklahoma se opuse a impulsar leyes y normas que promovían que las empresas disminuyeran su emisión contaminante a la atmósfera y al agua.
Me salí del contexto, sin embargo, mi punto es que ahora además de estar susctrita al newsletter, reviso un par de veces a la semana esta página para poder evidenciar la forma en la que la EPA va cambiando su mirada antes fuertemente activista y ahora tan pro contaminación (lo cual si lo piensan es ridículo, ya que es la "Enviromental Protection Agency".
