Over 13k of our activists told the EPA not to repeal their own crucial decision that determined greenhouse gases are a danger to public health. They ignored our voices.
The EPA is expected to repeal the #EndangermentFinding, so we joined our partners today in DC. @actonclimateus.bsky.social

Northeast Canyons & Seamounts is the only marine monument in the US Atlantic. The White House’s order opening up this Monument - crucial habitat for numerous marine species & seabirds - to commercial fishing will hasten the decline of imperiled aquatic species. #SaveTheSeamounts

Why do #polarbears need #PFAS regulation? 🐻❄️
A study found that polar bears contain elevated PFAS levels causing negative health effects - similar to humans. If the EPA allows more PFAS in our environment, there will be detrimental health impacts to humans & wildlife.

Why do great blue herons need the Clean Water Act? 🪽🚰
Ohio's Cuyahoga River was a dumping ground for factories & sewage. The river caught fire at least 13 times! Thanks to EPA standards, wildlife like great blue herons have returned to the river, where people fish & kayak.

Why do raptors and other species need the EPA? 🦉
Rat poisons are found in many species that aren't their target. The EPA is required to regulate pesticides, and has banned for consumer use longer-lasting rat poisons, keeping raptors and other species safer.
