Citizens Caring for the Future

CCFF brings together SE New Mexico community members who support protecting our air, water, & public health & safety during the current Permian oil & gas boom.

[Earthworks @Earthworks]

Announced today: @POTUS is creating a cabinet-level Methane Task Force to address oil&gas pollution.

The Biden administration is right to continue to prioritize efforts to #cutmethane. But there's much more to do.

[NM-El Paso IPL @NewMexicoIPL]

From leaking tanks to flaring, hear Tom Elmhorst’s #MyMethaneStory w/ @NewMexicoIPL on why the Permian Basin needs swift action on methane emissions. @EPA can protect communities by finalizing its rule to #CutMethane pollution by the end of the summer: https://t.co/ZL1dt62IbZ

Methane pollution is a threat to our families’ health and dignity. Learn from Maria Treviño’s #MyMethaneStory, a coordinator for @LaudatoSiMvmt, on why Permian Basin communities call on @EPA to finalize its rule to #CutMethane pollution by summer's end. https://t.co/imwS0WPQd6

Come out and see us Friday!

[Silas Grant @SilasPGrant]

Grateful to @NMLandOffice leadership today in creating a 1-mile health buffer from oil and gas pollution around schools on state trust lands in NM. Now its time for @EmnrdNM and @NMEnvDep to follow suit with a statewide setback https://t.co/oXtTmtQI11

[Citizens Caring for the Future @caring_future]

Reach out to the State Land Office at [email protected] to thank our commissioner, Stephanie Garcia Richard and her staff for taking action to stop oil and gas leasing on state lands within a mile radius of school and daycares🎉🎉

[Citizens Caring for the Future @caring_future]

We are incredibly grateful for this action from the State Land Office! Thank you to the Commissioner, her staff, and @CenterForBioDiv for all of their work on this. It's a happy day for those of us in SE New Mexico!

[NM State Land Office @NMLandOffice]

TODAY - press conference at the State Land Office at 10:00 a.m. to announce new executive order that places a moratorium on oil and gas leasing on state lands within one mile of schools or other educational institutions. #nmpol

“This governor had a chance to extend the climate leadership she showed in 2019 by passing the ETA,” Solomon said in his statement. “She did the opposite. So while the oil industry cheered, we are left trying to explain that choice to our children” #nmpol https://t.co/IdeeQEOgmL

[@progressnownm.bsky.social @ProgressNowNM]

Congratulations to New Jersey for implementation of their nation-leading #environmentaljustice rule! THIS is what it looks like for states to #ActOnClimate and specifically to stand up to industry.
Maybe someday we can do that here 🤞🏾 #nmpol

Love to see it!

[Citizens Caring for the Future @caring_future]

Looks like Eddy County has the worst air quality in the state! Gotta love the oil industry! The Permian oil boom continues to bring soooo much prosperity🫠🫠

[Western Environmental Law Center @westernlaw]

.@LungAssociation's 2023 #StateOfTheAir report is here, and it tells us for the umpteenth year in a row, New Mexico has a clean air problem.

@EPA must #ActOnClimate by finalizing strong rules to #CutMethane pollution from the fossil fuel industry.

“Pattern Energy, says full construction is expected to start in 2023 on its SunZia Transmission and wind project.”

[PSR Environment @PSRenvironment]

As we enter into #EarthWeek, we must emphasize the importance of transparency when it comes to oil and gas corporations.

Thank you, @NMreport for highlighting our most recent PFAS Report!

[Citizens Caring for the Future @caring_future]

Grateful for this report as we have begun to hear a lot about #CertifiedGas here in the Permian Basin!

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

NEW: The fossil fuel industry has come up with a new way to keep its business pumping: “#CertifiedGas.” Our new report with @Earthworks shows how inadequate and dangerous this process really is. Here's what we found: 🧵⬇️ (1/9)

A resounding public response to @GovMLG's #climate vetoes in the @ABQJournal:

In spite of these setbacks, you just can’t veto hope

Where’s the climate action from our climate leader?
THOMAS SOLOMON

[New Mexico Environment Department @NMEnvDep]

After waging a groundwater war against New Mexico, the @DeptofDefense continues to challenge state laws that protect the public from toxic #PFAS pollution. Our state is spending millions in tax dollars to hold this polluter accountable. https://t.co/IxCKGI0G35

[@progressnownm.bsky.social @ProgressNowNM]

"Oil and gas regions in New Mexico led the state's efforts in targeting a $1.25 billion federal grant for hydrogen power via a joint project with three other western states."
Don't let anyone convince you this is about "clean" energy. Period.

There are an estimated 144,377 New Mexicans, including 27,975 students and 119 schools and daycares — located within a one-half mile health risk area due to oil and gas development. The gas & oil industry is harming our state and our planet #EveryDayIsEarthDay @ProgressNowNM
