@SenSchumer@SenGillibrand@RepYvetteClarke Hydropower is not part of the climate solution; it's part of the problem. Please oppose any legislation that would falsely claim that new hydropower projects are renewable energy that will fight climate change.
.@alabamapower stores toxic coal ash in ponds dangerously close to the Mobile, Coosa & Black Warrior rivers, where one storm risks sending highly concentrated toxins into the rivers. That's something Alabamians should have a say in preventing. Take action: https://t.co/Du7dYjArGN

@SenSchumer@SenGillibrand@RepYvetteClarke Please focus economic recovery funds on promoting a just transition to a clean & safe energy future, rather than propping up the failing fossil fuel industry, which causes so much harm to our climate & communities around the world.
@EPAAWheeler With the world reeling from a global respiratory pandemic, now is not the time to ease up oversight of polluters. EPA’s mission of safeguarding the public’s right to clean air, land & water is more important than ever. Please rescind the enforcement suspension.
Y'all, please don't flush wipes (even the ones that claim to be "flushable'). They don't break down, create blockages, & cause sewer spills. Remember, only the 3 P's (poop, pee & puke) are supposed to get flushed. 🚽 💩 🤮#SaveThePipesTrashTheWipes

@SenSchumer@SenGillibrand@RepYvetteClarke Local nonprofits are a vital part of our communities, as well as our nation’s economic health, adding $985+ billion annually to our economy. As you craft a stimulus package, please include stimulus funding for this important sector.
As Congress weighs a stimulus package, it’s important that nonprofits like ours, which keep our communities cleaner, safer, and more educated, are included. Reach out to your Members of Congress today: https://t.co/YRJwEMhW8y
If you wonder if your efforts matter, check out this week's bailout letter from the coal lobby to the WH:
"Under pressure from environment groups, financial institutions have divested from carbon-intensive industries over the last decade, leaving very limited options available"
More than half the plastic now on Earth has been created since 2002, and plastic pollution is on pace to double by 2030. Massive quantities of this forever material are spilling into the oceans — the equivalent of a dump-truck load every minute. -- https://t.co/3fKCnwI7bL
“Did PFAS kill my brother?” wrote @CapeFearRiver's Dana Sargent in a heartbreaking op-ed for @StarNewsOnline in NC.
“Regulators and legislators will say we don’t know enough to stop it. In actuality, we don’t know enough to continue to allow it.” https://t.co/Mh1aVVAh4M
Do you work at a climate justice group, or are you living in a community on the front lines of climate change?
I have a ton of free subscriptions to give away to my climate newsletter, HEATED, and I'd love to give one to you.
DM me your email address if you'd like one.
The Trump administration is taking aim at one of the only laws that allows communities to weigh in on dangerous and toxic projects slated for development in their neighborhoods. Submit your comment today to oppose this change and protect your voice! https://t.co/6ogTXK28jI
