Fossil fuel giant wins $370 million tax break for burning gas as an โ€˜alternative fuelโ€™ The IRS allowed one of the worldโ€™s largest exporters of natural gas to claim its heavily polluting tankers are low-emissions โ€œmotorboats,โ€ the company said.

A fossil fuel CEO attended a Mar-a-Lago dinner where Trump urged Big Oil execs to donate a collective $1 billion to his campaign

In return, Trump promised that he'd cut taxes and regulations for their companies.

Trump just made good on his end of the deal...

Support Coloradoโ€™s SEED Act to rein in pesticides | OPINION By Brad Kuhn Colorado has an opportunity to take a smart, science-based step forward by passing the SEED Act, SB26-065. This legislation does not ban tools farmers rely on. It simply ensures that high...

Colorado can lead with science by passing the SEED Act, SB26-065, which limits the unnecessary use of harmful neonic-coated seeds. By supporting SB26-065, Colorado lawmakers can help protect pollinators and wildlife, while preserving flexibility for farmers.

Colorado's Seeds Are Coated in Pesticides, Even When It Isn't Necessary The SEED Act would base seed treatment decisions on actual pest risk instead of default packaging.

Trumpโ€™s Assault on the State of Our Health and the Environment As Americans take stock of the state of the union on Tuesday night, the state of the environment is gravely imperiled.

This reckless decision puts our health at risk and will let harmful emissions dirty our air and water. While the Trump administration continues to attack science, itโ€™s our communities who will pay the price.

Colorado Can Join Leading States by Curbing Second โ€œSilent Springโ€ Pesticide Pollution SB26-065 would reduce Coloradoansโ€™ exposure to neonic pollution by adopting a model where neonic seed coatings could be used only when theyโ€™re the right solution for a verified pest problem.

"The Colorado state legislature is currently considering the SEED Act, which would put Colorado on the vanguard of states and provinces across North America in tackling the number one source of neonic pollution: harmful and wasteful neonic crop seed coatings."

U.S. Senators will soon vote on whether to open Minnesotaโ€™s Boundary Waters to dangerous mining. This plan would threaten wildlife, the local economy, and a national treasure. Urge your Senators to vote no and protect this irreplaceable wilderness.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Every Road Cuts Deeper: How Forest Fragmentation Threatens Water and Wildlife As more and more of our forests face threats from industry and the Trump administration, itโ€™s critical to protect the Roadless Area Conservation Rule.

"Our national forest system is already full of roads, and more roads are cut into these public lands every year. The Roadless Area Conservation Rule keeps the most remote and valuable intact forests from suffering a death by a thousand cuts."

Democrat or Republican, Americans want their National Forests kept intact Repealing the Roadless Area Conservation Rule would not be in the long-term interest of the American people.

Former Forest Service Chiefs speak out: Americans value National Forests and want to see them protected from industrial roadbuilding. Repealing the Roadless Area Conservation Rule would go directly against the interests of the American people.

Itโ€™s Time for Colorado to Fix Its Neonic Pesticide Problem The SEED Act would reduce the number one source of neonic pesticide pollution in Colorado by eliminating unnecessary seed coatings.

"Many field crop seeds planted in Colorado are automatically coated with harmful insecticide seed treatments like neonicotinoids (neonics). These neurotoxic pesticides threaten childrenโ€™s health, contaminate water, and kill vital pollinators." @colorado.gov

Americaโ€™s Roadless Rule turns 25 today. For a quarter of a century, this effective & widely supported conservation policy has served the American people by protecting 58 million acres of pristine national forestland. We must allow these forests to remain wild and free.
