These wood pellet plants not only hurt their neighbors (see below) but are a false climate solution. Chopping down trees and burning them is not a climate solution; clean energy and forest preservation is.

Regenerative, organic, and climate-friendly agriculture rely on the power of nature for healthy and productive fields; industrial agriculture relies on fossil fuels and chemicals. Which should farm policy support?

The farm bill is the most important environmental law Congress will soon address. It affects ALL of us every day. Join for this panel by video or in person. The panelists are terrific.

New York has a tremendous opportunity to advance climate action; let’s be sure to take it! Opinion: New York must require companies to disclose greenhouse gas emissions cityandstateny.com/opinion/2023/1… via City & State NY

Very well said!

x.com/MarkRuffalo/st… Mark Ruffalo is right on mark -- Gov. Hochul should sign the Birds and Bees Protection Act.

Forests are essential to maintaining a stable climate. Yet they are threatened by logging, fires, development, and now by misguided plans for "bioenergy." It's nuts to cut and burn trees and claim that's climate smart. Find out more and take action! eventbrite.com/e/climate-acti…

In a big win for all New Yorkers and New York, wildlife, Governor Hochul signed a bill limiting very harmful pesticides. The bill sets a model for pesticide stewardship that other states can look to. nrdc.org/bio/daniel-rai…

Everyone who cares about clean air and water, wildlife, a stable climate, or our health should learn about the Farm Bill and engage with policy makers. Best opportunity this year!

A new report by @FOE_US and Socially Responsible Agriculture Project (SRAP) reveals how factory farm gas incentivizes the largest industrial livestock polluters to expand and diverts scarce public funds from true #climatesolutions. Read the report: foe.org/manure-biogas

The law is clear that JBS cannot claim credit for protecting the climate without taking adequate steps toward that. We applaud NY AG James for blowing the whistle on this consumer fraud. Families deserve the truth about their food.

Public agencies across NYS want to put their money where their mouth is -- by buying food that meets their values of sustainability, nutrition, and justice. The #GoodFoodNY bill will help them do this. Call your legislators TODAY to pass it NOW. bit.ly/GoodFoodNYacti…

The New York Senate and Assembly just passed the #GoodFoodNY Bill! Thank you to all who helped transform New York’s food system to support small farmers, labor, food workers, animals, and our climate. Now PUBLIC purchasing dollars can support and represent PUBLIC VALUES!

The #FarmBill is our last big opportunity for federal climate legislation in the foreseeable future. Join us on 7/16 & help turn Farm Bill into a victory for farmers & climate. ejus.tc/3XWX8bH

There's nothing clean about #biogas! The full lifecycle of biogas production generates major GHG emissions.

Food procurement is a "game changer" for transforming food systems says Food and Agriculture Organization—impacts production *AND* consumption + can deliver social, economic, & climate benefits: @MarkIzeman of NRDC 🌎🏡 on why we need #GoodFoodNY. Governor Kathy Hochul, Let’s get it signed! nrdc.org/bio/mark-izema…

Across the country, toxic forever PFAS chemicals in sewage sludge contaminate farmland & threaten health.  To protect against harm, Plainfield Township, PA passed a local law limiting sludge spreading. Other local governments must be able to do the same. bit.ly/4gQOKR4

In light of major health threats from toxic PFAS in sewage sludge, last week a PA township & environmental groups urged Governor Josh Shapiro to conduct a sludge risk assessment & pause sludge spreading. Join them. Contact the governor and request the same! bit.ly/4i8GDQZ
