The #2026WorldCup is enforcing new hydration breaks as players and fans face risks from extreme heat. #ClimateChange isn't happening somewhere else; it's showing up in the moments millions of people are watching right now. ⚠️🥵

ICYMI: 14 families & an elementary school in Galeton had to be evacuated bc of a Chevron well blowout in '25.

It's right that Chevron pays $1.5 in fines to clean up their mess, but no amount of $$ can undo the harm done to those kids and community.

Hilcorp was one of our #PolluterOfTheMonth last year. Almost a year later, we’re still documenting pollution at its facilities. From repeated emissions near schools in NM to super-emitting methane plumes captured by satellite, the pattern hasn’t stopped.

The environment isn't somewhere else. It's the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the communities we call home. That's why protecting the environment means protecting people too. 🌱✨

Oil and gas pollution can travel from well sites into homes and schools. Community members are using cameras to see what’s in the air and speak up for safer conditions. 🏭⚠️

Equinox Gold wants to quadruple the size of the Castle Mountain gold mine. 📈

Their plan puts profits ahead of protecting water and public lands. 🌄🏔️

Last year, PA's Environmental Quality Board took an important step in expanding the distance between new gas drilling sites & homes, schools, and hospitals. We need to demand the Department of Environmental Protection advance this NOW.

Time, like peoples' health, is precious.

A massive LNG export project proposed off the #TexasCoast could raise pollution, threaten local communities, and lock in decades more fossil fuel expansion. ⚠️🌊

New Mexico’s updated permit fees will help fund stronger oversight of oil and gas pollution across the state. Communities deserve enforcement that protects public health. 💰⚠️

[EDF Energy Transition @EDFEnergyEX]

Good news❗️Colorado's air pollution regulators will get the funding they need thanks to increased emissions and permitting fees, so the companies that create the pollution pay their fair share.

A $1.5 million fine means little when communities are left with pollution, displacement, and years of cleanup. Real accountability means preventing harm before it happens. ⚠️💰

New Mexico is increasing permit fees for the oil and gas industry to help fund stronger inspections and enforcement statewide. Cleaner air starts with giving agencies the resources to do their jobs. ⚖️💨

NEW: For the first time, a community harmed by a Japanese-funded LNG project has filed a series of coordinated complaints against the culpable parties in Japan:
💰 JBIC & NEXI;
💰 MUFG, Mizuho & SMBC

Methane rules remain in place, but ongoing efforts to weaken protections could delay progress and harm communities. Strong standards and continued advocacy are still essential. ✊💚

Continental Resources ranks among the top methane polluters in the US, & the data shows a pattern that can’t be ignored.

For Continental, the moves of the current administration are "paying off handsomely": https://t.co/bbvp7U3wG1
