WARNING ⚠️

Plastic pyrolysis is NOT REAL RECYCLING! Tell your legislators to stop HB1616 in its tracks. It only harms our communities, our environment, and any change we have to strengthen real recycling efforts.

Take action now! ⬇️

#greatlakes states have the highest numbers of lead pipes in the country. #1 IL, #2 OH. Lots more to do but this is a critical start.

[League of Conservation Voters 🌎 @LCVoters]

.@POTUS: "We’re also replacing poisonous lead pipes that go into 10 million homes in America — 400,000 schools and childcare centers so every child in America can drink clean water."

Congresswoman Elise Stefanik derided the American Rescue Plan as a “far-left wish list.”

This week, she’s touting the $12.9 million in funding it provided to rural hospitals in her district.

So this is a new one - never seen a ship parked off of Cedar Point State Park before. Is this an official #stlawrenceseaway anchorage? #seaway #ships #stlawrenceriver

Conservatives are demonstrating landlord-level hypocrisy when it comes to Herschel Walker

[Jennifer Caddick @jencaddick]

Noooooo! But also, good for you @Trevornoah. Sometimes you just know when it’s time to explore new things. (I’m still really bummed though.) https://t.co/3EChbDiHnU

This makes my day. 😂😍 Thx @LisaDNews! Always so appreciate your reporting and now this - you’re the best!

[Lisa Desjardins @LisaDNews]

Hi guys, Happy Friday.

Before it gets even more busy - about to post a quite random, maybe frivolous (?) project I've been working on here and there, nothing major, for a few years.

Are there fans of the Great British Bake Off out there?

As extreme heat grips much of the country, our @A4GL CEO @JoelBrammeier shares why the Great Lakes are a climate haven.

[Last Call @LastCallCNBC]

Lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the country. It supplies water to millions of people across seven states. If it dries up, some of those people will likely need to find a new place to live. @perryrussom reports on what scientists call “climate migration.”

[Rona Kobell @rkobell]

I've been fortunate to learn from both these Dons: @DScavia and @DonBoesch. Asking nicely when the price tag is millions and the consequences of not doing it are dirty air and water dispersed over a large area is not a working strategy.

@DrBobBullard @grist Thanks for sharing this @DrBobBullard! Grateful to Alicia Smith @coalition_j for their partnership in this work. Here’s the full report by @A4GL’s @TomZimnicki https://t.co/P7NP4Ed4sg

The cause of the toxic algae? Upstream agriculture pollution. “We as the consumer have the burden of paying for a lack of regulation, mandates, and policies on water contamination” says @coalition_j’s Alicia Smith. 1/

[grist @grist]

What's raising water bills in the Great Lakes? Toxic algae. https://t.co/qynuJmG0Dm

“The agribusiness system has relied on the ability to externalize these costs to downstream communities…And that clearly is not an equitable system.” - @A4GL’s @TomZimnicki 2/
