Out here fighting for water breaks for farmers and other outdoor and indoor human beings working out in this extreme heat. No federal protections exist on that.
In fact, some states made it illegal for local governments to create their own heat safety rules.

We just won our first victory against this Trump administration! USDA has agreed to restore climate data it had removed, a move we challenged on behalf of farmers who depend on this info. This win proves the law is a powerful tool against the administration’s anti-science, industry-appeasing agenda.

Clean Deliveries Act could lessen warehouse boom-fueled pollution in New York Legislation could limit the pollution from diesel trucks traveling back and forth from warehouses to deliver packages by passing the Clean Deliveries Act.

Half of New York’s warehouses are located in what the state calls “disadvantaged communities,” according to an updated environmental report, and diesel truck rides to and from those facilities have almost quintupled over the past decade

On the first Earth Day in 1970, there was no:

🚫 Clean Water Act
🚫 Endangered Species Act

The following year, Earthjustice was founded by a small group of attorneys who believed that the earth needs a good lawyer.

Climate Groups Sue Hochul Administration Over Climate Law Backtracking Environmentalists have long charged that New York is falling short of its climate mandates. Now, they’re taking the state to court.

⚠️ ICYMI, we're suing. New York has backtracked on its life-saving climate law and its time for our leaders to step up to protect communities across the state.

📣 We are joining legislators, clean air advocates, and community members in Albany today to demand that our state leaders protect clean air and keep New York’s life-saving standards in place.

Today, we went to Albany to tell New York lawmakers: the Advanced Clean Trucks Rule saves lives! New Yorkers breathing dirty air cannot afford delay.

“When it comes to environmental protections, the storyline is always the same — polluters drag their feet and say they can’t possibly meet the standards, they need a couple more years,” @lizkrueger.bsky.social

These are the impacts some scientists fear most from EPA deregulation Several of the environmental benefits Americans experience today -- clean air, clean water, clean rain -- could soon be in jeopardy from EPA deregulation efforts.

The EPA's mission is to protect human health and the environment. Yet the Trump administration wants to end more protections for clean water, weaken protections against chemical disasters and make clean air exemption so that corporations can save money.
