ADM’s facility was the first permitted commercial carbon sequestration operation in the country. It's leaked twice and is not doing what ADM promised.

This is a warning sign that we need to protect our drinking water from this experimental technology.

ADM runs the only Class VI well in the United States.

And it leaked.

We can’t risk our water with experimental carbon capture and sequestration technology.

"The historic suite of power plant pollution standards announced last week by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency include a rule that will finally force power plant owners to clean up their coal ash pollution." https://t.co/bJkTbBnrhh

[Illinois Sierra Club @SierraClubIL]

BREAKING: Hundreds of activists rallied outside of the Capitol today in support of the @ILCleanJobs Platform—legislation that would double down on IL’s bold climate policy & secure a more equitable, affordable & healthy future for all Illinoisans.

Great question, why indeed @IllinoisDNR, why indeed?

Why does Illinois' Department of Natural Resources claim the public has no right to 98% of waterways? On behalf of Illinois' citizens, @PrairieRivers would like to know.

Today is #EarthDay AND it's #NationalVolunteerWeek. We love both.💚

It's up to all of us to build a more just & sustainable future for all. Thank you to the incredible volunteers across Illinois for all you do to care for the planet & our communities. #SierraTogether 🌎⚖️🌿

[Illinois Sierra Club @SierraClubIL]

IL has already lost ~90% of its wetland acreage & we can't afford to lose any more. In the wake of the US Supreme Court's decision to gut the #CleanWaterAct, IL must step up to #ProtectILWaters!🌊

Urge lawmakers to support the Wetlands Protection Act➡️ https://t.co/LKb7nkTvah

[Prairie Rivers Network @PrairieRivers]

A world with wetlands is a world with cleaner water, thriving wildlife, and homes better protected from flooding! Wetlands have long been misunderstood and underappreciated, but they provide amazing benefits.

[Illinois Sierra Club @SierraClubIL]

TAKE ACTION: We urgently need to pass HB4835, which establishes a moratorium on #CO2pipelines in IL until state &/or federal regulations are in place that will protect our communities, land, & water.

File a witness slip as a proponent of the bill: https://t.co/X5oul4Mgkl

IL leads the nation in local action on clean energy!🏆

Thanks to net-metering & community-solar policies secured in #CEJA, Illinois scores highest on @ilsr's 2024 Community Power Scorecard. There's still room for improvement—let's keep up the work.
