Guest Commentary: We Can Stop Trashing the Region’s Health A clean air advocate urges support for Councilperson Jamie Gauthier’s Stop Trashing Our Air Act to stop Philly from burning trash

“By ending waste incineration, the City of Philadelphia can do its part to improve regional air quality in a state that imports more trash than any other,” wrote Russell Zerbo, Clean Air Council advocate in his latest op-ed in @thephilacitizen.bsky.social.

We’re headed to Harrisburg tomorrow to demand our state leaders end their plans to use fossil fuels to power AI data centers across Pennsylvania, which would worsen our air quality and sicken our region. Follow our livestream and day-of updates on Instagram @cleanaircouncil.

Environmental & Natural Resource Protection Committee -- Nov. 17, 2025 Public hearing on HB1946 and any other business that may come before the committee.More at http://www.pahouse.com

Next Monday at 10am, tune in to the House Environmental and Natural Resource Protection committee hearing on increasing protective buffers.

Monday, November 17
10am ET
Livestream: buff.ly/qDGyFGb

Increasing buffer distances can better protect Pennsylvanians by making sure newer fracking wells aren’t located in our literal backyards. Exposure to fracking pollution is known to harm human health.

Did you know that fracking wells in Pennsylvania can be as close as 500 ft. from a home, hospital, or school? Did you know that this distance is easily waivable and wells can be built even closer?

Pennsylvania Gas Producer Sues Capital & Main Over Its Reporting on Health Risks A lawsuit by CNX Resources Corporation accuses the news organization of defamation for quoting sources critical of an industry-written study. Capital & Main stands by its reporting and vows to fight the...

Fracked gas company CNX Resources is suing @capitalandmain.bsky.social for defamation over a 2024 article challenging CNX’s “Radical Transparency” report, which claimed its fracking posed “no public health risks.”

@councilmemberjg.bsky.social has introduced an amendment proposing to send all of Philly's trash to landfills rather than to the Covanata Incinerator, where trash is burned. More info in the graphics about the amendment, health impacts of burning trash, and ways to support.

Pennsylvania legislators are seeking to remove the state from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a cap-and-trade program that decreases the amount of carbon emissions power plants can produce each year. Take 5 minutes today and call your legislators to tell them to keep Pennsylvania in RGGI.

Stay in the Fight for RGGI! Environmental groups, Philly city and state representatives, local advocates came out to demand Governor Shapiro & state lawmakers reject a budget deal that kills Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in PA.

PA leaders want to walk away from RGGI — our best shot to cut pollution, lower bills & create clean energy jobs. They call it “compromise.” We call it a sellout. #StayInRGGI
