Without intervention, power demand from data centers is projected to rise to 165% by 2030 – much of it fueled by coal, oil & gas
Today we're joining 200+ groups in calling on Congress to oppose any policy that would erode or preempt federal or state regulation of the AI industry

Did you know that, on average, most children consume more saturated fat than is recommended – potentially leading to heart disease?
If saturated fat limits are removed from the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans, that would be especially dangerous.

2024 saw the largest US honeybee die-off on record.
According to USDA, nearly all affected colonies contracted a bee virus spread by parasitic mites.
These mites developed resistance to a commonly used pesticide — amitraz.

River cruises are often seen as better alternatives to ocean cruises due to their smaller size, but there is a lot to consider when it comes to environmental damage and impact to pick the best river cruises.

Shutting down the EPA Office of Research & Development makes it a lot easier for companies to hide the dangers of their products from consumers – whether it be toxic chemicals in household cleaning supplies or greenhouse gas emissions spewed by Big Oil.

A study estimated that roughly 80 whales are killed by ship strikes off the West Coast every single year – and that number could be 20x higher than what’s observed since most dead whales sink.

@repilhan.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov have re-introduced the End Polluter Welfare Act, which would cut $190 billion in tax loopholes and subsidies for oil, gas, and coal special interests – including $20B in brand new tax breaks from Trump’s budget bill.

The company Syngenta had to pay $187.5 MILLION for links between the pesticide paraquat and Parkinson’s disease. And Monsanto has paid billions to settle lawsuits linking its weedkiller Roundup with non-Hodkin's lymphoma.

Chemical companies are pushing for shields to protect them from being legally responsible for the harm pesticides are wreaking.
No one should be above the law. If the pesticide industry is too dangerous to operate without being legally shielded, it probably shouldn’t be operating at all.

The Arctic is warming nearly 4x faster than the rest of the planet – and ice melt means new shipping lanes are being explored which furthers the pollution and destruction brought on Arctic peoples and ecosystems.

He’ll now oversee a rule to protect people and endangered species from toxic pesticides — the very rule his Big Ag trade group spent years trying to kill.

When docked in ports, large ocean vessels keep their engines running. This means that ships are spewing harmful emissions into the atmosphere for long periods of time, which worsens local air quality and contributes to climate change.
