350 Philadelphia

Leveraging Philadelphia's people power to dismantle the influence of the fossil fuel industry, and developing people-centric solutions to the climate crisis.

[350 Philadelphia @350philly]

Our #FossilFree strategy:
1. A fast & just transition to 100% renewables.
2. No new fossil fuel projects.
3. Not a penny more for dirty energy.

@RepHarris Hope you'll do all you can to ensure the budget includes the funding that SEPTA and other transit agencies need. Transit riders can't afford massive service cuts and fare hikes!

@teamroc @passitforwardpa Public funds should go to public schools.

2 weeks ago, @POTUS approved the Willow oil project.

1 week ago, the IPCC released its 6th assessment report, warning that we need to cut greenhouse gas emissions in 1/2 by 2030.

So why, TODAY, is @POTUS auctioning off 73 million acres of the Gulf of Mexico for oil drilling?🧵

Important day for climate & esp the Pacific Islands: Vanuatu is poised to carry a historic win at the UN today that would call on the world’s highest court to issue an unprecedented legal opinion related to the climate crisis.

Here's what that means. https://t.co/n9JuMfpRFf

I can’t recommend this item enough on the big money, tactics & lies of the oil and gas industry in NY.

They keep people hooked on their expensive, dangerous product to crank up profits. People die as a result.

Tbh these scumbags are committing the equivalent of war crimes.

Come one come all to "Healing the Land & Repairing Harm: A Summit on Philly's Refinery Redevelopment". An event for ALL ages -- we'll have free childcare, arts/nature activities for kids, & a workshop track for teens! And plenty for the grown-ups too :)

Exposure to soot - & inhaling it - leads to increased:
❌mortality rates
❌hospitalizations
❌visits to the ER
This is why we need much stronger soot standards from @EPA to protect the health of our communities. #SolutionsForPollution

[PeterBosshard @PeterBosshard]

As the first US insurer @Chubb announced some initial restrictions on oil and gas insurance today. Chubb will no longer cover oil and gas projects if they are located in protected areas and don’t abate methane emissions at all. A quick 🧵! https://t.co/a4MPr364dN

[Reclaim Philadelphia @reclaimphila]

@MyPGW, we need a new plan: "PGW customers are on track to spend $6-$8 billion to replace aging gas pipes over the next 35 years, locking in decades of fossil fuel use at a time when the city of Philadelphia is committed to carbon neutrality by 2050.” https://t.co/rsIb7KIeZM

Climate activists are protesting the nation’s four biggest banks today because of their fossil fuel financing. Here’s what to know. w/ insights from @billmckibben @BenJealous @ThirdActOrg https://t.co/xbgQDrNDgw

[HEET @HEET_MA]

Our latest report, written by economist Dorie Seavey, finds PGW is projected to spend up to $8B on new gas pipe. Instead, those funds could go a long way towards building cleaner, safer, more affordable energy systems like #networkedgeothermal. https://t.co/oJlB0BbtNP @dk_seav

[Senator Nikil Saval @SenatorSaval]

The Philly Water Dept wants to increase rates by $240 million over the next 2 years, which would increase rates by 20% for Philly families. This Weds and Thurs, add your voice to the calls to keep safe drinking water affordable! Find out how here: https://t.co/UxOZo66vqf

@ThePatHenderson @WHYYNews @susanphill What is "virtue signaling"? Is climate change not a real problem? And why would people need to freeze in the dark if we shift from gas & other fossil fuels to renewable energy?

[WHYY News @WHYYNews]

PGW's pipeline replacement plan will cost up to $8 billion and ignores climate impacts, a new study says.

"We can’t just keep doing business as usual," said Dorie Seavey.

Here's a really big one - we can't build any more new fossil fuel infrastructure if we plan to keep below those temperature targets.

Extractive countries in particular, like Norway, Australia, Canada, the US etc, are in wild breach of this. #IPCC
