Thanks @laurelcyclery and @donutsavant for the treats and warm welcome at the #BTWD2024 Energizer station this morning - It was a nice stop on my 6 mile ride!

[STAND-LA @STAND_LA]

.@LACountyBOS just took a major step toward environmental justice for #Inglewood!

The Board of Supervisors took their first vote to phase out oil drilling in the largest urban oil field in the US.

One more vote to go - stay tuned.

[Sue Chiang @suechiang]

@SACEgroup @HSBC @DeutscheBank @jpmorgan @GoldmanSachs @BankofAmerica @Citi We urge you to publicly commit not to finance oil company @petroperu_sa. Don't ignore its record of destruction on Indigenous lands. Meet Indigenous leaders & hear their lived experiences #EndAmazonCrude

"People deserve the right to eat food free from toxic chemicals.

With its decision, @US_FDA has failed to protect the public by continuing to allow these harmful chemicals in food-contact materials."

[Redeemer Community Partnership @RedeemerCP]

"LA's plan to phase-out oil drilling in the future does not absolve its responsibility to protect residents from the dangers of oil drilling today" @rdeanparks Electrify & enclose the Murphy Drill now!
@MayorOfLA @CityAttorneyLA @Planning4LA @STAND_LA

[Redeemer Community Partnership @RedeemerCP]

Jill Johnston and Bhavna Shamasunder find air pollutants from the Murphy Drill Site are going into the community up to 1 km. The harm is like daily exposure to secondhand smoke @CityAttorneyLA @Planning4LA @MayorOfLA, enclose and electrify Murphy now! @STAND_LA @USCEnviroHealth

“#PFAS are known as multisystem toxicants. Almost every system that's been evaluated, some scientist somewhere has identified an effect.” -@ToxicologyChick, @ECUBrodySOM

1.5 million North Carolina residents have been exposed to toxic #PFAS 'Forever Chemicals' in their drinking water.

This is environmental injustice in action. And it has to stop.

WATCH #CapeFearCourage 📽️ and SIGN the petition. 📝 Tell @EPA to do its job. https://t.co/nNl1AnLDXp

“@CenterEnvHealth @CleanCapeFear @CapeFearRiver @ToxicFreeNC have filed a petition with the @EPA to require Chemours to fund a comprehensive research program. It's time for Chemours to pay up.” -@ABras2020

We found that #gas used in homes throughout the greater Boston area contains at least 21 different hazardous air pollutants that may impact air quality and health, wherever #naturalgas is leaked.

We’re working to change entire systems that harm the #environment and our #health.

That's why we're calling on companies in our legal notices to remove all bisphenols (including #BPA) from their products.

⚠️ CA schools generate a TREMENDOUS amount of waste from single-use foodware. 🤦🏾

Dish machines present an upstream waste prevention measure, avoiding single-use items & teaching students environmental stewardship.

We condemn today's Supreme Court decision gutting the EPA’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.

This decision will endanger both #publichealth and the #environment.

"This industry moving into East Oakland from outside and being allowed to pollute this community w/o repercussions is #EnvironmentalRacism in action."

[Center for Environmental Health @CenterEnvHealth]

Industries moving into East Oakland and being allowed to pollute without repercussion is #EnvironmentalRacism.

It is unjust for residents to be exposed to cancer-causing emissions because of unpermitted operations.

⚠️ Our bodies are being polluted without our knowledge.
