Scientists agree that microplastics are everywhere. They're in our oceans, our food, and even in our bodies. 🌊🥗🧠
There’s no debating it. WE NEED LESS PLASTIC, MORE REAL SOLUTIONS NOW. ⚠️🚨

Millions in penalties. Massive methane waste. Repeated failures seen from on the ground AND from space. The numbers tell the story.
This is the cost of weak rules and unchecked pipeline pollution and why Energy Transfer is our this month's #PolluterOfTheMonth. https://bit.ly/4qdx6eP
Nearly a year after a well blowout upended the community of Galeton, CO, the state agency charged with regulating oil and gas is proposing a $1.53M penalty against Noble Energy, the Chevron subsidiary who owns the well.

Even when producers clean up operations, pipeline companies can undo that progress by venting and leaking gas downstream. Energy Transfer — one of the largest gas pipeline operators in the country — is a clear example and our #PolluterOfTheMonth.

Late last year, PA's Environmental Quality Board took an important step toward expanding the distance between new gas drilling sites & homes, schools, & hospitals. We need to demand the Department of Environmental Protection advance this NOW. Time, like peoples' health, is precious.

We're back with February's #PolluterOfTheMonth: Energy Transfer, which moves nearly a third of US gas & keeps getting caught venting methane along the way.
We’re calling out the infrastructure company helping methane pollution spread: https://bit.ly/4qdx6eP

Join the #MakePollutersPay Week of Action and demand real accountability. Climate superfund laws can shift the cost off our communities, and onto the corporations that caused the crisis. 😤🌍

New FT reporting shows more than 80 significant methane-emission events across PA & WV — linked to major gas producers incl EQT, Expand Energy, & Berkshire Hathaway Energy.
The #BigGasPolluters analysis found repeated methane releases large enough to be a super-emitter: https://bit.ly/4abCbiY
The oil & gas industry and government MUST DO MORE to #cutmethane.
New tools, new data: same story. @gasleaksproject.bsky.social & Earthworks analyzed @carbonmapper.bsky.social satellites of 80+ major pollution events in WV & PA from 2024-25.

5 new ways oil and gas polluters could be getting a free pass in 2026.
From delayed methane rules to ending emissions data collection, the Trump administration is systematically rolling back safeguards that protect public health, taxpayers, and our climate.
Trump is launching a new wave of trade talks to secure access to other countries' “critical minerals.”
No accountability. No public input. More harm to communities and the environment. Congress must assert its authority, now.
The Consolidated Mining Standard would erode oversight and harm communities, Indigenous Peoples, and the environment. Learn how 🔗 www.miningstandardsaccountability.org.

1 year of Trump: Disaster & determination to rebuild.
Despite Trumps many successes to put polluters and billionaires before everyday people, local leaders and communities are standing up.

A new year. Same methane problem. Stronger accountability.
Since Trump took office, federal agencies have delayed, weakened, or moved to eliminate key methane safeguards, from pollution fees to emissions reporting. In response, a coalition of organizations is stepping in to fill the gaps.
Methane is often sold as “natural gas.” But when it leaks, it’s one of the most powerful climate pollutants there is.
At #BigGasPolluters, we track methane pollution because it’s frequently underreported, hard to detect, & deeply harmful to our climate and our health. ➡️ BigGasPolluters.org.

#BigGasPolluters was created to hold fossil fuel companies accountable at a moment when regulation is being weakened. We connect satellite data, on-the-ground investigations, & peer-reviewed science to show what oil & gas companies are actually doing — not just what they say. ➡️ BigGasPolluters.org

Protect clean water for our kids: bit.ly/protect-our-...
The places our kids love depend on clean water. Weakening protections now could pollute them forever. Once water is damaged, it's hard to fix.
Let's protect it while we still can.
If the numbers didn’t stun you, here are more reasons EQT earned December’s #PolluterOfTheMonth:
-Air-pollution events documented by Earthworks, even after their "net zero" pledge
-A proud member of the trade group that helped kill the US methane waste fee

Oil & gas silence is deafening...as if promises to fight #climate are just deceptive marketing tricks.

Oil companies say their projects create new jobs and enhance local economies. When it comes to the proposed Blue Marlin Offshore Port, a new report from Port Arthur Community Action Network and Earthworks reveals this isn't true.

Our #PolluterOfTheMonth, EQT Corporation, says it’s “Net Zero.”
But that claim only covers a fraction of its pollution — not the gas it sells, not the leaks from its pipelines. And what about the methane that satellites keep catching above its sites?

🚨 Must READ: Toxics & radiation flow into waterways from landfills & treatment plants.
The likely cause? Solid oil & gas waste from PA & OH. Salt, heavy metals, cancer-causing toxics & radiation.
Worse? EPA does NOT label it as 'hazardous waste.'

ICYMI: The GOP is trying to pass Permitting Reform legislation that would gut protections for Tribes and communities to oppose strip mining and oil and gas drilling.
These lands have been protected by Tribal treaty rights since the 19th Century. How is this America First?
