New @chicagotribune.com reporting underscores a growing challenge: warehouse expansion can mean more diesel truck traffic & more harmful air pollution for nearby communities. Smart planning & cleaner freight can protect both public health & economic growth. https://bit.ly/3RkWZ13

Pennsylvania just took a critical step toward statewide methane standards 👏 🔗EDF statement: www.edf.org/media/pennsy...

Diesel truck pollution shouldn't be the price communities pay for warehouse growth. EDF research shows warehouse development is increasingly concentrated near neighborhoods already facing disproportionate environmental burdens. More via @chicagotribune.com: www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/20/w...
