In a region that’s destroyed so much of its natural bounty, Bruce deserves as much credit as anyone for what remains.

I took this photo at Allerton Park in 2017, 50 yrs after he began the fight to save it. Incredible gift to spend the day there w him & talk about his life’s work

In a momentous victory for Illinois water and community activism, the permit for Sunrise Coal’s proposed Bulldog Mine has expired due to lack of use, effectively killing what would have been Illinois’ last new coal mine.

Illinois is at a"fork in the road" when it comes to our energy future.

Open a new coal mine & invest in a polluting, dying industry? Or invest in a clean future & pass the #CleanEnergyJobsAct?
