The Honorable Bernie Sanders

Burlington, VT 05401
Dear Senator Bernie Sanders,
I am writing you a letter in regards to the Trump Administration's proposed budget cuts. Although I believe there are several issues that should be acknowledged, I would like to focus specifically on the decrease in funds for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As a resident of Enosburg Falls, Vermont and a current student of Saint Michael's College, I am concerned about what will happen to our state's natural resource protection without the EPA. I think our state's plans on making Burlington a city with renewable energy is very important to our state as a whole. Because Burlington is the largest city in Vermont, the change to renewable energy would significantly support Vermont's title as a leader in sustainably running a state.
One of the most important aspects of the EPA is their clean power plan. The contributions of the clean power plan do not only support Vermont, but all of the states too. The clean power plan will help states develop and deploy clean energy alternatives. If the proposed budget by the Trump Administration is passed, then people across the country would lose their jobs and the hard work that Vermonters have put forth in creating this environmental name for ourselves would be lost.
As you are a member of congress, I am asking you to vote in support of funds that will help the Environmental Protection Agency in sustaining our state and country as a whole.
Thank you for taking this letter into your consideration.
Sincerely,
Natalie Jackson
