Environment America

Environment America is a policy and action group with one mission: to build a greener, healthier world.

[Environment America @EnvAm]

We need your voice: The Senate is preparing for a vote that will impact whether or not our public lands can be sold to the highest bidder.

Send a message to your U.S. senators urging them to keep public lands in public hands: https://t.co/i3jwS09o54

[The Plant Initiative @Plant_Init]

Action alert from @EnvAm Tell the Forest Service: Protect the Tongass from destructive logging "Oppose this logging project on Prince of Wales Island." https://t.co/CQihxQwqy7

[Environment America @EnvAm]

Renewable energy sources grew 11% in the first three months of 2026, benefitting consumers, the environment, and future generations. Read more about how you can help keep #RenewablesRising.

Our throw-away economy harms our environment, health and climate. Our report, “Trash in America,” outlines the costs of this system and a path to a zero-waste future. https://t.co/6mJRx2GcQQ

[Environment America @EnvAm]

How are national forests different from national parks? How does the Forest Service manage them? Why are national forests so important? We break down what you need to know about our country’s many amazing national forests: https://t.co/6F2LE4Yojn

The U.S. produced enough solar energy in 2025 to power 36 million homes – a seven-fold increase from 2016. Our “State of Renewable Energy” dashboard tracks the rapid growth of solar and other clean energy technologies. https://t.co/GV3f6WEybX

[Environment America @EnvAm]

Pennsylvania’s use of solar energy is on the rise, but the state still falls behind most of the country in adding more renewable energy on the grid. @PennEnvironment's Belle Sherwood breaks it down in this @AlleghenyFront story. https://t.co/ntHonQau1Q

[John Rumpler @JohnRumpler]

Today, a Congressional committee is holding a hearing on the Potomac River sewage spill. Tomorrow, a different committee is voting on a bill that would cut the main funding program for dealing with sewage pollution by 27%. This makes no sense. #Safe4Swimming @PotomacRiver

[Environment America @EnvAm]

57 million illnesses a year are linked to swimming in polluted water in the US--with one factor being sewage and stormwater runoff due to failing infrastructure. Our Safe for Swimming? report shows that the problem is widespread. See the report here: https://t.co/43la78jgSY

Today is Endangered Species Day, an important day to call attention to the plight of wildlife across the US. Here's some of the work we're currently doing to protect endangered and threatened species: https://t.co/idrw0JgfUm

[Environmental Action @EnviroAction]

It's Endangered Species Day. One of our top priorities is protecting endangered wolves from hunting.

[Johanna Neumann @NeumannJo]

Today @EnvAm and @FrontierGroupUS unveiled our State of Renewable Energy 2026 dashboard. Incorporating 2025 data, we show state-level growth of #wind, #solar, #EnergyStorage, #efficiency, #electricvehicles and EV charging. Core findings in this thread 1/9 https://t.co/Ry3TmJvNZ0

[Environment America @EnvAm]

U.S. wind and solar have roughly tripled since 2016, and clean energy continues its growth across the country. Visit @EnvAm and @FrontierGroupUS’s interactive State of Renewable Energy 2026 dashboard to see #RenewablesRising in all 50 states. https://t.co/GSuWblwcDJ

[Environment America @EnvAm]

Trillions of plastic pellets are spilled or dumped into our environment every year. Volunteers like these couldn't possibly clean up every single one. That's why we need to hold polluters accountable -- and most importantly, stop producing so much plastic in the first place.

[Environment America @EnvAm]

Some folks, like those profiled in this @AP story, care about solar for reasons other than the environmental benefits that come with getting less of our energy from polluting fossil fuels. Whatever your reason, we're glad to work alongside you. #GoSolar. https://t.co/i1ihznfWKT

[Environment America @EnvAm]

In 2022, America was retiring coal-fired power plants at a rate that would leave the grid coal-free by 2040. Last year, those retirements slowed to a crawl. At the current pace, coal plants would run until 2065.

[Georgia Press @gapressnews]

Environmentalists delivered a 26,000-signature petition urging Chemours to pledge no mining near the Okefenokee, citing risks despite the company saying it has no plans. #gapol https://t.co/t4Gx0fC34v
