All indicators suggest that President Trump is about to pull the U.S. out of the landmark Paris Agreement, designed to reduce the planet’s carbon emissions and mitigate the risks of climate change. The decision, considered by many to be short-sighted and damaging for both the environment and the U.S. economy, benefits only one group: the fossil fuel industry. But perhaps this is just the shove that the sustainability movement needs to emancipate itself from federal funding and decisions.

While not a huge surprise, President Trump’s expected decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement (which he claims will harm our nation’s economy, hinder job creation, and create oppressive regulations for domestic companies) deals a substantial blow to everyone in the sustainability sector—and, really, to anyone that cares about the environment.
