Dravis, Samantha[dravis.samantha@epa.gov] Patrick Schnell Wed 10/11/2017 8:55:11 PM your job
Hello Samantha Dravis.
I don't know you. But I know that you are working for the EPA. Or rather, you are working for Pruitt. Which one is it, actually? Obviously you cannot work for both, the EPA and Pruitt. I would imagine you are either someone who is frustrated with the fact that the EPA is being dismantled, or you are one of the dismantlers. At this point you must be one of the dismantlers, since you are on staff working for Pruitt.
Therefore I am asking you: How can you do what you are doing and look the citizens of the world, let alone your children, in the eyes? How can you work towards destroying their future and then come home and pretend that nothing bad happened? How can you live with destroying all of our environment and call this your job, actually collect money for it, tax payers' money, no less?
You know exactly what you are doing. Therefore you disgust me. There is no excuse. Nothing can excuse what you are doing, unless you openly opposed, undermine, and sabotage Pruitt.
One day, when climate change has become even more intolerable and for the poor, for those stranded in the wrong place, for those without the means to relocate or flee some of the catastrophes caused by climate change, you may consider how your past actions contributed to the suffering.
It will no longer make a difference. You are then the criminal that you are now working towards becoming. Go ahead. You are almost there.
Sincerely, Patrick Schnell, M.D.
The New York Times reported that EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt has filled his schedule almost exclusively with meetings and fancy dinners with coal-mining, chemical company and others EPA regulates--often followed by moves to deregulate them--while scheduling almost no meetings with environmental groups. Pruitt has also spent $25,000 in taxpayer money to put a soundproof phone booth in his office, raising red flags about why this was necessary.
