I feel like the first one is who I want to be, and the second one is who I am (I never know what to do with my hands)

New mapping shows the Inland Empire’s low-income neighborhoods are drowning in pollutants while the rich coast enjoys clean air. Environmental justice or just letting history pick winners? #LocalCalifornia #InequityIsAChoice https://t.co/MYfsVctf6f

Trump’s @EPA to fossil fuels: We’ve got your back.
EPA to everyone else: We can't help you.

Fight back before our climate protections are gone. https://t.co/3y7xpx05zh

[Al Gore @algore]

Today’s EPA announcement ignores the blindingly obvious reality of the climate crisis and sidelines the EPA’s own scientists and lawyers in favor of the interests and profits of the fossil fuel industry. Weakening safeguards that reduce greenhouse gas pollution will harm American competitiveness in a global economy that is moving away from oil, gas, and coal and will increase the suffering of communities that are overburdened by the dirty co-pollutants caused by burning fossil fuels.

On Independence Day weekend, families should be enjoying the lake, not worrying about water contamination.

But E. coli levels have closed beaches across northern Illinois, from Lake Michigan to inland lakes. We need stronger protections for clean water.
