Today's the day! The U.S. House of Representatives is voting on the Recovering America's Wildlife Act, which would help wildlife from big horn sheep to bumblebees thrive. Tell your representative to vote yes: https://t.co/LK80zGI0Yo #RecoverWildlife
This summer, I'm working with @EnvironmentIL to stop #plasticpollution. Join us in calling for a statewide ban on single-use polystyrene foam cups and containers. Sign the petition here: https://t.co/Msx3rrqCYn
On Monday, we launched the #Chicago canvassing office! All summer, we'll be advocating for a statewide ban on single-use plastic. Here we are in @gonggershowitz's district @EnvironmentIL
🌲 @REI What are you doing about the toxic #PFAS chemicals used to waterproof many products you sell?
Are you going to announce a plan to #BanToxicPFAS at your 5/16 member meeting?
As a values-driven co-op that puts people & the planet first, NOW is the time to act!
Hi! Norbert here aka #Norbsy aka the unofficial #BanPFASPup
So excited that @uspirg@nrdc & Fashion FWD released their scorecard grading brands on #PFAS policies - you should check it out after you check me out in my #ForeverChemical-free puffer jacket!

If you #OptOutside you’re gonna want to tell @REI to #BanToxicPFAS in their apparel because these toxic #ForeverChemicals should be nowhere near our bodies or adding to the pollution of our favorite places
So proud of my mom for using her unique knowledge of pop culture and dermatology to spread awareness - did you know #Alopecia is a more general medical term for hair loss?
Talked with Dr. Wendy Sadoff of @BeaumontHealth about Alopecia today for part of our coverage of the Will Smith assault on Chris Rock at the Oscars.
Small part of interview will make it to air at 5:30 so here's a bit more for those interested:
Much of the #toxic chemicals in our environment from decades of industrial pollution still hasn't been addressed. Increased confidence in the @EPA Superfund toxic waste cleanup program due to new funding could mean cleanup at #toxicwaste sites like these https://t.co/hrhvRlVVwz
12 new sites added to the #Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) should benefit from the reinstated #polluterpays tax, but there's a lot of work to do to address these and the more than 1,300 others on the NPL https://t.co/1Pv1wby9kF
Did you hear that the @EPA Superfund program will soon be receiving funds from a reinstated "polluter pays" tax? Find out more tomorrow 12:30 PT/3:30 ET at the "Funding the Future of Superfund" webinar. RSVP here: https://t.co/44TMaoNuGh
Join @USPIRG, @RepBlumenauer, @EnvProtectioNet, @griswold_marcus, and @PHCC on March 11 at 3:30 ET to celebrate the reinstatement of the “polluter pays” tax to fund the Superfund #toxicwaste cleanup program and discuss the work that's still ahead. RSVP: https://t.co/XoG2fvAqhJ
After decades of taxpayers footing the bill for toxic waste cleanup, it's not surprising that the chemical industry is fighting against a "polluter pays" tax that will fund the @EPA Superfund #toxicwaste cleanup program #SuperfundNews https://t.co/0x1vgAOUBr
Researchers used pine needle samples to trace the presence & concentrations of #PFAS in NC from 1961 to the present.
"The findings are a snapshot of the evolution of PFAS in the state over a 50-year period"
