Just for the record:
I'm in possibly the world's smallest club:
"The environmentalists who acknowledge the role human numbers (population) play in ecological impacts".
In fact, most of the vitriol I receive,
... is from "environmentalists".

Look, I get it. No one wants their emails read. I sure as heck don't
But my decisions don't affect the health of millions of people
When transparency is clearly being evaded, it dissolves public trust
We need to rebuild trust in our public institutions now more than ever

If you have ANY problems legally voting :
Go to your polling place on Election Day. Ask for a Provisional Ballot and get a receipt. Follow up at your courthouse the next day and bring photo ID and proof of residence.
Don't let the cheaters win.

Instead of ensuring that the 2 most toxic PFAS known to humans are not manufactured anymore in the U.S., this administration thought it better to just change the language on its website
But hey, at least really rich people will make even more money 🙄

Not sure why this will not repost to my page! Hmmm.
“If you have a chemical and there’s no safe level of it, then why on earth would you allow it to be manufactured?…This all makes perfect sense if you understand the reality that the EPA is an arm of industry, especially under the Trump administration.”
Robert F Kennedy Jr, if he is actually trying to Make America Healthy Again could tackle this by himself by using the FDA to get thr PFAS chemical class out of our food and food containers. But he won’t. Because he is also captured by the chemical industry.

"The number of marine animals plummeted by about 60% in the years following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion...and those populations haven’t come close to recovering, the study found."

Imagine the terror of being hung upside down by steel chains while alive and fully conscious. 💔
This is the brutality #cows routinely experience behind the closed doors of slaughterhouses in the #meat industry 😫 @weanimals
As Halloween approaches, I am begging you to boycott all candy containing palm oil. (Read labels. Never buy palm oil. "Sustainable" palm oil is a myth.)

Funny how there are never any emergency leader broadcasts about this kind of thing isn’t it.
We all just have to accept it because the rich must always be richer
Extinction is a choice. What a tragedy that this species will go extinct for greed.
Only around 380 right whales remain, a 20% population decline over past 25 years, many killed by speeding ships
Teetering on the brink of extinction slowing down ships could save them
Now Trump blocks any speed restrictions allowing ships to go as fast as they want in Right Whale location nationalfisherman.com/mid-at…

We + @CenterForBioDiv + @pesticideaction just sued the EPA in order to force the agency to develop water quality standards around the cancer-linked #pesticide atrazine, which has been detected in 36 states serving approx 40 million people. courthousenews.com/epa-sued-… @CourthouseNews

With another school shooting, this time in Bend, Oregon, it might be a good time to point out that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban almost halved mass shooting deaths - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths more than doubled. It’s the guns.

We are contaminating everything with #PFAS. It has to stop.

If #PFAS are built into the backbone of the AI economy, they will remain in our water, soil and bodies for generations to come. We have to stop repeating history.
