Former President Donald Trump has proposed reverting to older water and energy standards for household appliances, including light bulbs, toilets, showers, and dishwashers. This action comes shortly after he signed an executive order encouraging the use of plastic drinking straws, indicating a rollback on environmental commitments made during President Biden's administration. Trump's motive, expressed through social media, frames the changes as 'common sense,' calling for the EPA to restore previous regulations from his first term, while highlighting ongoing tensions over efficiency standards.
