Whatever the reasons, if California falls short of meeting its #emissions reduction targets ... The question is simple: What can we do about it today? The solution is simple: Allow fleets to deploy various proven clean transportation technologies that best meet their needs. #CleanAir #CleanTrucks

State officials pitched the clean truck and bus grant program as the nation’s premier green transportation initiative. In reality, a Times investigation found that nearly half of the vehicles funded through the program burn fossil fuels, running on gas- or diesel-electric hybrids.

State officials insist California’s clean truck and bus subsidy program has helped reduce CO₂ emissions by 1.5 million metric tons. But a Times investigation found that those claims rely heavily on assumptions and estimates, instead of actual data. latimes.com/environment/stor…

Indigenous communities are hit hardest by climate change & water inequities. It’s incredibly disheartening that AB 2218 (a bill meant to fix these injustices) was vetoed. Tribal leaders aren't backing down and neither are we. We'll be there to support every step of the way.

🪵 Before you toss that old treated wood, think twice. Treated wood may contain potentially hazardous chemicals that can contaminate soil and water if improperly disposed of. KNOW before you throw! 🔗 Learn how to properly manage treated wood waste: dtsc.ca.gov/toxics-in-produc…

🏭☁️ What if a polluting chemical plant wanted to move into YOUR neighborhood? For families across America, that possibility is becoming a reality. Dozens of new ammonia production facilities are being proposed across the U.S., raising serious concerns about the air our children breathe, community safety, and climate change. 🌎 Ammonia is used to make fertilizer and fuel, but producing it can come with a dangerous price. ⚠️ Here's what moms should know: 🫁 Ammonia plants can release toxic air pollutants linked to asthma, cancer, and other serious health problems. 🌡️ Conventional ammonia production relies heavily on fossil fuels and contributes to climate change. 🏡 Families living near these facilities can face risks from chemical leaks, fires, and explosions. But here's where hope comes in. 💚 Communities are speaking up, asking tough questions, and organizing to protect their families. From Pennsylvania to Ohio, residents and clean air advocates are pushing for stronger pollution monitoring, greater transparency, and meaningful community involvement. Because every family deserves to know what's in their air. And every child deserves a healthy place to grow up. 🌿 📢 SHARE this post with another mom, parent, or neighbor. The more families know about the ammonia plant boom, the stronger our communities can become. #CleanAirForKids #EnvironmentalJustice #ClimateAction #ProtectOurChildren instagr.am/p/DeZafoDEWe0/

Senate Bill 954 has been vetoed despite broad legislative and public support for the bill. #SB954 would have narrowed the "advanced manufacturing" exemption from #CEQA and restored baseline public health safeguards for communities near heavy industrial projects.

The Trump administration is abandoning the climate fight, repealing pollution rules on coal and gas power plants. It means a free pass for fossil fuel billionaires—and a worse climate crisis and higher electricity bills for us. This is wrong and illegal. We’ll stop them in court.
