Plastic straws, high flow toilets and incandescent light bulbs could make comebacks as President Donald Trump works to end previous environmental standards.

Trump called for "common sense standards on LIGHTBULBS" on his social media platform Truth Social on Tuesday, and said he was instructing Environmental Protection Agency Secretary Lee Zeldin to immediately change the requirements.

The same posting called for new standards pertaining to showers, toilets, washing machines and dishwashers.

High-efficiency toilet standards were first set in 1992 under President George H.W. Bush. They required that new toilets not exceed 1.6 gallons of water used per flush. At the same time faucets and showers were capped at 2.5 gallons per minute.
