Answer:

establishing the Environmental Protection Agency.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nixon's presidence lasted from 1969 to 1974, when he resigned from office. During these years, environmentalism had become an important concern for young people. Although Nixon's administration did not consider this a main topic in its government, it nevertheless brought about important changes. Nixon signed the National Environmental Policy Act, and established the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970. Nixon also signed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act.
