Answer:

the Environmental Protection Agency

Step-by-step explanation:

The Environmental Protection Agency was formed to reduce the amount of pollution that existed in the United States. Air and water pollution and toxic waste were some of the environmental issues that had become problematic by the end of the 1960s. Americans began to realize that their natural resources needed to be protected and began calling for change. The EPA became responsible for regulating activities that were harmful to the environment.
