What damn good does it do to plant a million trees in #Tucson, if all we're going to do is allow #Amazon to guzzle a whole town's worth of drinking water a year, bust our energy grid, and create total light pollution...all for 75 jobs? #ProjectBlue

A new youth-led lawsuit is challenging Trump's fossil fuel orders In Lightiser v. Trump, 22 young people are using the protections of the Constitution to demand a livable future.

“I’m not suing because I want to — I’m suing because I have to. My health, my future and my right to speak the truth are all on the line.”
Without action, “Trump’s fossil fuel orders are a death sentence for my generation.” #climatechange #climatecrisis

🚨 When funding stops, the impact is real. It’s about people, businesses, and communities.

❌ Programs get cut → Jobs disappear
❌ Vendor payments stop → Small businesses struggle
❌ Manufacturing slows → We rely more on foreign suppliers

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.
