SUPPORT TOXIC RIGHT TO KNOW! SIGN ON YOUR GROUP BY 3/28: energyjustice.net/tri Make waste incinerators have to report their toxic air, land, and water releases.
Wed evening, we're presenting a panel with DSA about trash incineration and environmental racism. Hear from several front-line communities across the country about why we fight incinerators and what the alternatives are. Register here: energyjustice.net/dsa

When Climate Justice Alliance formed in 2013, it was also due to the recognition of the need to strengthen democratic representation of frontline community leadership at national climate movement tables, as well as in int'l spaces such as the UN Climate Change conferences. #COP26

We’re excited to launch our new film BREATHE THIS AIR to accompany the #BreakFreeFromPlastic Pollution Act reintroduction today! @DSCEJ @risestjames @Energy_Justice @ecotonID @SenJeffMerkley @RepLowenthal @brkfreeplastic #PlasticJustice (cont)
We are happy to one of the groups featured by @nowthisnews!
‘I want our grandchildren to grow up with clean air, clean water, clean soil’ — This new bill would hold companies accountable for the impact plastic production has on our environment and health
Our EJ researcher is quoted, calling out the fact that the Transportation & Climate Initiative does not include minimizing pollution from interstate waste transfer. marylandmatters.org/2020/11/… @CJAOurPower

Bum. Bum. Bum. Another one bites the dust.
The time is now to start building up zero waste infrastructure instead of burning any waste or defaulting to landfilling.

Time for an equitable #zerowaste #Balto. The city just suspended recycling pickup at least until Nov 1. Disgusting that MD (&other states) classify incineration as renewable energy, w millions of taxpayers $$$’s/yr to subsidize Incineration that is hurting lower income POC
Congratulations to @IronboundCC for getting an environmental justice bill passed in New Jersey! This is a huge step toward protecting people's rights to clean air, water, and land! wastedive.com/news/new-jerse…

Demand #EnergyDemocracy!
When the power goes out due to storms, wildfires, or grid failures, private companies get bailed out and the people get shut-off.
Collectively, we can re-prioritize how we create, use, and distribute clean, renewable energy.

Generally, a microgrid sounds great! But NOT when you include a @Covanta trash incinerator that emits 1 million lbs. of toxic pollutants annually. tapinto.net/sections/governm… @CityofCamdenGov @camdencountynj @GAIAnoburn

Breaking and Fantastic News: Judge upholds the NY plastic bag ban, plus closes the loophole that would have allowed thicker plastic bags. A great decision for NY's environment and now a national model for other states to follow. Thank you @Earthjustice for your leadership.
