I just took action to protect our #NationalWildlifeRefuges. Join me in telling Congress to reject budget cuts that would gut our public lands. https://t.co/iPSBIYm2Dy

And Illinois law allows this to happen. It’s called planned subsidence, known at the time a mine is permitted. 🤦🏽‍♀️Mining companies get the coal and leave their mess for farmers and taxpayers.

This past weekend, I-185 closed due to a 50-foot-wide sinkhole at Deer Run Mine. Longwall #mining wreaks havoc on prime Illinois farmland and local watersheds, & makes life harder for the local community. When will enough be enough?

Dams along the Fox River are a burden on the ecosystem for fish who are no longer able to swim upstream, hurting recreational fishing. We need to remove the dams to make sure future generations will be able to fish. #FreetheFoxRiver #UndamtheFoxRiver (https://t.co/a5lstXEY26)

Thanks for this, Tom. We are so indebted to @usgs scientists Barbara & Peter for their investigations. An important legacy that we honor with our advocacy for nontoxic playgrounds, driveways and parking lots.

[Coal Tar Free USA @CTFreeAmerica]

Here's a hyperlinked, summary #infographic to further honor the groundbreaking work of the @USGS

This represents major findings, but more than 40 institutions have determined the same thing: high PAH products are unsafe to humans and the environment.
