Bluefin tuna swim the length of the Blake Plateau, from Florida to North Carolina.

These animals and so much other marine life need to be safeguarded from the intrusion of industry. Urge the Biden administration to act on Blake Plateau now: https://t.co/eLNu5ETBxl

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

The Blake Plateau is home to hundreds of ocean species spanning the sea from the Carolinas to Georgia to Florida. All of these animals, and hundreds more, could be at risk if the Biden administration doesn’t act to conserve it.

Starting with the bobtail squid 🧵👇

How do we stop the forest biomass industry from causing so much harm? @SenBooker’s new bill is a good first step in the right direction. 🧵👇

Sea turtles are magnificent creatures found along the U.S. coasts—and all 6 of the species here are either threatened or endangered. One safe haven for some of these gentle giants is the Blake Plateau's Sargassum seaweed meadows! 🐢

The Blake Plateau isn’t just home to hundreds of sea creatures, it’s also a place of spiritual significance for the @GullahGeechee. Take action before Big Oil gets their greedy hands on it: https://t.co/XThZ02uBdV

As our ocean warms, parts of the Blake Plateau will provide crucial refuge for deep-sea reef-building corals and other marine life. Here’s what’s at stake. 🧵👇

Corporations love to slap green leaves on their plans and pretend they’re helping our planet. But we can’t fall for greenwashing—like what Duke Energy is trying to pull in North Carolina.

Making sure homes aren’t wasting energy can help our climate fight—and increases equity. 🧵👇

Climate justice means making sure that underserved communities are lifted up and not left in the cold. These kinds of investments can make our fight against the climate crisis more fair for everyone.

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

One year ago, nearly 2 million people were literally left out in the cold by fossil fuels—including Brianna, who suffers from a rare health condition and was put in danger. We need to end our dependence on unreliable fossil fuels and hold irresponsible utilities accountable.

Even though they're on the naughty list, we hope that Santa gives them mini solar panels instead of coal this year.

Our Senior Advocate Juanita Constible joined @esnuestroFLOC, @nc_field, and other groups earlier this month to honor workers who have died due to extreme heat in North Carolina.

These losses underscore the need for better worker protections:

We’re living in a real-life horror movie and fossil fuel companies are the monsters. 😱

Across the world, communities are rising up and demanding that leaders pay attention to the misinformation peddled by the forest biomass industry.
 
We need to cut carbon—not forests ➡️ https://t.co/IrtoUlUUz7

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

The forest biomass industry has long misled the public about cutting down healthy forests to provide fuel for power plants through wood pellets, causing irreparable harm to neighboring communities. Tell Congress that biomass is NOT clean energy.

From clean air to environmental justice, climate is on the ballot this November in Virginia. We’re proud to announce our endorsements of candidates who will fight to create clean energy jobs and protect communities from the climate crisis.

[David Broder @Broder512]

On the same day that the Virginia Dept of Environmental Quality issues a Code Red Air Quality Alert for most of the commonwealth, Governor Youngkin brags about his administration undermining environmental regulations.

Absolutely outrageous and shameful.

These wood pellet factories create huge amounts of dust and debris that cause respiratory illnesses in local communities of color. Help stop the forest biomass industry: https://t.co/CoEHImRbpy

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

Forest biomass directly harms communities of color and low-income communities.

Forest biomass is not clean energy.
