If our anti-plastics work centers on straws in turtle's noses and bags in the ocean, we'll never have the right solutions. Every environmentalist MUST be an EJ advocate. Thanks Lauren Upstream & Yvette t.e.j.a.s. Conservation Law Foundation Kirstie Pecci upstreamsolutions.org/blogs/why-the-…

"Of course we care about the turtles. But if we’re solely focusing on keeping straws out of their noses, we’re missing the fuller picture – like children going to school red-eyed and nauseous, next to the facilities that produce the plastic." upstreamsolutions.org/blogs/why-the-…

"While I’ve recognized the facility as a black mark on my hometown for years, I learned only recently about the dire consequences it has on the people of my community." Lynn, MA resident Giselle Barahona talks about the incinerator in her backyard: clf.org/blog/incinerat…

This Instagram post took me on such an incredible journey that I had no choice but to bring it to Twitter

NEWS: The Vermont House of Reps just voted to override Governor Phil Scott's veto of a major climate action bill, the Global Warming Solutions Act. If the Senate also votes to override, climate action will become the law of the land in VT! Statement: clf.org/newsroom/vermo… #vtpoli

Reminder: Defunding the police is good climate policy. Here's why: newrepublic.com/article/157984…

This isn’t news, Kellyanne. Our differences are exactly why I joined Biden’s Climate Unity Task Force - so we could set aside our differences & figure out an aggressive climate plan to address the planetary crisis at our feet. Trump doesn’t even believe climate change is real.

The audacity of Shell asking YOU what YOU’RE willing to do to reduce emissions. 🙄 They’re showing you RIGHT HERE how the suggestion that indiv choices - not systems - are a main driver of climate change is a fossil fuel talking point. Yes, make good choices. Reign in FF corps.

wow this tweet hit

This. So much this. If the Tea-Party can teach the left anything, it's that deep investment in off-election years is absolutely key to building a strong, lasting coalition.

Celebrating election results, but come Monday the Zero Waste Project @clf is going to #LeanIn. We have *maybe* ten years to save the planet, so we need to turn off the plastic spigot, compost, and shut down landfills and incinerators NOW. Are you with me, peeps? 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

@ everyone saying dems can't win with progressive platforms - deep canvassing. listen don't tell. if all you care about is what people hear and not meaningfully impacting their lives, we'll just keep falling short. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ecowatch.com/chloe-maxmin-2…

Reuse is the way of the future! Looking forward to seeing this #reusable packaging for online orders to become more widespread here in the U.S. and around the world! #SlashTrash fastcompany.com/90571367/this-…

There was a bigger police presence at the capitol to stop Jane Fonda from sitting in about climate change.

I swear if Twitter had been around in the Industrial Revolution there’d be a tweet with 50k Likes like “if we can’t employ tiny orphans anymore, who will we send into the smallest mine shafts and between the sharp parts of the big machines???”

While existing initiatives are likely to make headway, and Democratic majorities in Congress could affect certain legislation, trade groups don't anticipate major changes due to a crowded agenda. bit.ly/3isDAW4

Conservatives will pretend “unity” means Democrats have to let them keep ill-gotten gains, leave saboteurs in positions of power, but nobody has to pretend to believe them.

Today we announced that Epicurious is cutting out beef. It won’t appear in new Epi recipes, articles, newsletters, or on social. This isn’t a vendetta against cows or people who eat them. It’s a shift about sustainability; not anti-beef but pro-planet. trib.al/hy6gm9s
