#Rockwool said they only need 125,000 gallons of water per day. In fact, their own memorandum of understanding with JUI says that they will need up to 320,000 gallons per day. Why the discrepancy? #WAF18

Don't be fooled by #Rockwool's claims of healthy living. They use coal, pet coke, and formaldehyde to make their product. The emissions from their plants are terrible. #greenwashing #WAF18

Within the insulation industry, #Rockwool is the 6th largest polluter in the US. Why do they want to put a second plant across the street from an elementary school? #WAF18

Elementary schools shouldn’t need air monitoring stations because a factory is going in nearby. These children should have been protected by proper planning. #ToxicRockwool

NEW on WTOP: Air monitoring will begin by spring at elementary school near where Rockwool insulation factory is being built. wtop.com/local/2018/10/air-m…

The more #FOIA requests fulfilled by local governments the more questions we have. There's something rotten in #Denmark and in #JeffersonCountyWV. Our #CleanAir and #CleanWater aren't for sale.

Look at the size of sinkhole in @rockwoolna Ranson's storm water basin. But hold on! WVDEP visits on Oct 2 and Oct 11 show up to TEN sinkholes! That this location is inappropriate is an understatement. @AugensteinWTOP @CCARRanson @realMikeRanelli @WVGovernor @Sen_JoeManchin

If anyone thought public opposition to @rockwoolna would dissipate over time, they should see the enormous turnout at the @CCARRanson fundraiser in Shepherdstown right now. This community isn’t rolling over. #ToxicRockwool

Rockwool promised that in exchanged for the polluting site with 310Mil of toxins/yr, you will buy our WV kids Christmas presents this yr. We checked with our kids, they don't want Xmas presents from you. Health, Clean air, soil and water is all they want. @CCARRanson #P4Gsummit

Jefferson County @JeffCoWV is the gateway to #WestVirginia and 20% of state tourism dollars. So why are you subsidizing 21 story smokestacks with #ToxicRockwool? Disastrous policy failure by @jcdawv and @wvcommerce

#Childrenshealth #Childdevelopment #toxicrockwool @CCARRanson Are we furious that Denmark is worried about the effects of soda, carrot, and beef production on their environment in their official tweet?...and dumped @rockwoolint on @visitvirginia @wvirginialover @MarylandDNR
Denmark in USA 🇩🇰 (@DenmarkinUSA) profile pictureDenmark in USA 🇩🇰@DenmarkinUSA9 Oct 2018
How much does a soda, a carrot or a pound of beef affect the climate? It is often hard to tell. That is why the Danish minister for the environment, @larsclilleholt, wants to label food with special stickers that list the product’s environmental impact. ti.me/2OO5Aaf

.@Rockwoolna has not completed its site prep work, does not have all permits and utilities yet, & has already been cited for endangering health and water quality. What steps were taken to ensure safety in a sinkhole area? @CCARRanson @WVGovernor @Sen_JoeManchin #toxicrockwool
