The U.S. EPA has rescinded their much-needed updates to mercury & air toxics regulations.🏭 Mercury and toxic pollutants harm the survival of wildlife species and can cause a number of health issues for people.

Air travel is a major source of climate-harming pollution. New technologies in sustainable aviation fuels are opening up a future where we continue to benefit from air travel with a much smaller impact on the climate.

Few conservation efforts have been more successful than the National Wildlife Refuge System. The US Fish & Wildlife Service is reviewing the system to β€œidentify refuges established for a purpose that no longer aligns with the mission.”

Over 13k of our activists told the EPA not to repeal their own crucial decision that determined greenhouse gases are a danger to public health. They ignored our voices.
The EPA is expected to repeal the #EndangermentFinding, so we joined our partners today in DC. @actonclimateus.bsky.social

Northeast Canyons & Seamounts is the only marine monument in the US Atlantic. The White House’s order opening up this Monument - crucial habitat for numerous marine species & seabirds - to commercial fishing will hasten the decline of imperiled aquatic species. #SaveTheSeamounts

A study found that polar bears contain elevated PFAS levels causing negative health effects - similar to humans. If the EPA allows more PFAS in our environment, there will be detrimental health impacts to humans & wildlife.

Why do great blue herons need the Clean Water Act? πŸͺ½πŸš°
Ohio's Cuyahoga River was a dumping ground for factories & sewage. The river caught fire at least 13 times! Thanks to EPA standards, wildlife like great blue herons have returned to the river, where people fish & kayak.
