Tired of your straw decomposing before you’re halfway through your drink? Sick of only being able to buy LED bulbs? If so, relief is in sight.

President Donald Trump took multiple actions this week to roll back some of the small, burdensome environmental mandates and regulations imposed by the Biden administration that impact Americans on a daily basis by limiting consumer choice.

President Trump’s efforts began on Monday with an executive order targeting the Biden Administration’s “irrational” push for paper straws, banning the federal procurement of paper straws.

“Plastic straws are often replaced by paper straws, which are nonfunctional, use chemicals that may carry risks to human health, are more expensive to produce than plastic straws, and often force users to use multiple straws,” Trump said.

“Additionally, paper straws sometimes come individually wrapped in plastic, undermining the environmental argument for their use,” he added.

Trump’s order prevents any federal agencies from procuring paper straws and instructs them to undo any rules and regulations intended to discourage plastic straws implemented to comply with a 2021 executive order by former President Joe Biden.

The order also instructs agency heads to terminate contracts with states and other entities that prohibit plastic straws.

As the New York Times reported in 2018, the original move to ban straws was, indeed, irrational, since the entire movement was based on the claim of a 9-year-old boy who claimed that Americans used 500 million plastic straws per day. That claim later was picked and repeated over and over again by supposedly authoritative environmental groups and only debunked years later.

On Tuesday, Trump also took aim at regulations dictating water use caps on appliances and lightbulb choice by publicly calling on his Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin to abolish Biden administration restrictions on water flow for appliances and its ban on incandescent lights.

“I am hereby instructing Secretary Lee Zeldin to immediately go back to my Environmental Orders, which were terminated by Crooked Joe Biden, on Water Standards and Flow pertaining to SINKS, SHOWERS, TOILETS, WASHING MACHINES, DISHWASHERS,” said Trump on Truth Social.

In 2023, the Biden Administration finalized energy efficiency rules that effectively banned incandescent light bulbs in favor of more efficient LED bulbs.

During his first term, Trump revoked water use mandates for faucets and appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, and even toilets, allowing Americans greater freedom to choose the appliances that best fit their needs.

Biden reversed those changes, allowing the federal government to decide what appliances Americans can have in their homes.

The changes are sure to enrage many left-wing politicians, including U.S. Reps. Jared Golden (D-Maine) and Chellie Pingree (D-Maine), who both voted in December against a bill to stop the federal government from dictating the type of laundry machines Americans can buy.

Trump’s new directives come after the arguably larger blow he struck against left-wing environmental mandates last month with an indefinite pause on inefficient and possibly harmful wind turbine production.

That decision is sure to affect Mainers, who under Gov. Janet Mills (D) were set to have large swaths of their coast, and even the historically untouched Sears Island, developed into wind energy farms.
