Savings for corporate polluters don’t erase what more pollution costs families. A new EPA proposal would relax diesel truck pollution standards to save manufacturers money, resulting in 36,000 more tons of health-harming smog pollution. Share so the health costs aren’t ignored.

Clean water protections don't just disappear, they're weakened one decision at a time. The EPA is proposing to limit state oversight, loosen coal plant wastewater rules, and delay PFAS protections. See what's changing, why it matters, and what you can do. Link in bio.

Pollution from powering datacenters can travel miles to reach you. Coal and gas plants release soot linked to asthma, heart attacks and strokes, plus smog-forming pollution. EPA is seeking to weaken soot standards and delay ozone pollution plans. Families need stronger safeguards. Link in bio.

That filter on your kitchen tap? It can’t protect you everywhere. You can't shop your way out of a problem this big. The best protection starts at the source, before it reaches your home, and that's the EPA's job. Right now they're stepping back from it. Link below.

EPA proposed adding microplastics to a federal drinking-water list. But that doesn’t require water systems to test for them, remove them or meet a limit. Hundreds of contaminants are already waiting there. A list can start the work. It can’t replace real safeguards. Learn more at the link in bio.

The wildfire smoke keeping your family indoors will clear. The pollution it exposed won't. Doctors compared a day outside last week to half a pack of cigarettes. Meanwhile the EPA is weakening the limits on soot, the particles linked to heart attacks and strokes. Link below.

Harmful pollution from AI data centers isn't inevitable. The EPA is choosing to allow it. The tech to run them clean exists and it's cost-competitive. But nothing requires companies to use it. The EPA has the power to change that, and isn't. Save and share.

Parkinson's is increasingly linked to toxic exposures, including certain pesticides used on farms and golf courses. With no cure, prevention matters. The EPA can study and restrict these chemicals but continues to delay. We’re calling for action. Learn more below.

Can you find the 5 hidden toxics? Some exposures you can reduce if you can afford a swap, but you can't replace the air or water. Protecting families from pollution is the EPA's job. Right now those protections are being rolled back. Check your exposures at the link in the comments.

Prevention is the cheapest medicine. But when it comes to the air we breathe, one of our best forms of prevention is being taken away. Air pollution fuels the chronic diseases driving 90% of health spending. Protecting clean air is the EPA's job, and it’s stepping back.

7-to-1. That's how strongly Americans across party lines agree: the EPA should be strengthened, not weakened. Stronger prevention helps protect families from toxic chemicals and pollution. Share the stat and see who agrees. Happy 250th, America.

"You can't get food out of a data center." A Kentucky farmer turned down $26M to keep her farmland. Most communities don’t get the choice at all. The pitch for AI often skips the receipt: the water, the farmland, the local say that disappears to power it. Read it in the comments.

That weed killer in the garage? SCOTUS just made it harder to hold companies accountable for failing to warn about cancer risks. And it's not just Roundup—the ruling could help other pesticide makers fight warning labels too. Our protections should be stronger, not weaker.

The next heat wave could be hard on your heart, especially if you're a man over 40. Heat can worsen air pollution, increasing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and irregular heart rhythms. Check the AQI, protect your heart, and demand stronger protections for cleaner air.

Some of the biggest threats to our families’ health are almost completely invisible. Forever chemicals, microplastics, pesticides. Former EPA official Jeremy Symons joined Fox5 to break down what’s happening and why it matters for your family.

Dads do a lot to keep their families safe. But no dad can filter the air at the playground or test the water at school. That's what EPA protections are for. And they're being rolled back. This Father's Day, dads deserve to know someone has their back.

Elon Musk's xAI data center filled a Memphis neighborhood with air pollution linked to cancer. When families sued, the DOJ went to court to stop them. Citizens have the right to sue when polluters break the law. This case could carve that right away for communities everywhere.

Tiny plastic particles, in the last place men want them. In a recent study, scientists found microplastics in every human testicle they tested, carrying chemicals linked to hormone disruption and fertility problems in men. The EPA’s job is to protect us, but accountability has been lacking.

You probably think about what you eat and how you train. But what about chemicals in products you use every day? Phthalates — used in plastics and fragrances — have been linked to lower testosterone and reduced sperm quality. Many everyday exposures remain outside EPA regulations.

Here's what shaped your air, water, and health this week: Former EPA experts weighed in on chemical safety rollbacks, PFAS in drinking water, and why gutting environmental rules won't lower grocery bills. See what they've been saying at the link in the comments.

On health and its costs, Americans aren’t as divided as you think. 82% of Trump supporters want him tougher on polluters. 81% of all Americans say pollution’s costs are showing up on medical bills. EPA leaders think we want fewer protections. The country just said otherwise.

New national polling is in, and the message is clear. 82% of Trump's supporters want tougher action on corporate polluters. 7 to 1 want the EPA stronger, not weaker. Nearly 8 in 10 say they have a right to know what's in their air, water, food, and the products they use. We agree.

177 million Americans live near high-risk chemical facilities like the Washington paper mill where a tank burst last week. EPA's Risk Management Program, built to prevent disasters like this, is being rolled back. Former EPA experts and scientists are raising the alarm.

A serious chemical incident happens in the U.S. every two days. 177 million Americans live near high-risk facilities. The federal government is rolling back the rules that protect them. These rules exist because people already got hurt. They are the line that keeps us safe.

HFC regulations were just rolled back. the administration says it "won't impact the environment." Joe Goffman, former EPA official, says the real costs show up in your air, your health, and your wallet. We’re tracking these rollbacks closely. Follow us to stay up to date.

For 30 years, Marines at Camp Lejeune drank water containing TCE, a toxic solvent linked to Parkinson’s and documented at more than 1,400 military sites nationwide. The EPA finalized a ban on nearly all uses of TCE in 2024. Now, implementation of that ban is being delayed.

You would think incidents like this would lead to stronger chemical safety protections and emergency planning. Instead, the Trump administration is rolling back chemical disaster prevention rules and proposing to eliminate the Chemical Safety Board. Put our health and safety first!

A damaged chemical tank in Southern California cracked over the weekend but the interior temperature rose as authorities worked to reduce the risks of a powerful explosion that has led to the evacuation of some 50,000 residents.

Protections on your drinking water are being quietly undone. Former EPA Director Dr. Betsy Southerland joined @zerlinamaxwell.bsky.social to explain why the EPA's rollback of 4 PFAS standards is concerning — and may be illegal. Standards exist because people got sick. Follow for updates.

Your tap water could contain toxic "forever chemicals" (PFAS). EPA leadership called PFAS a top priority, but they just delayed drinking water protections and reopened chemical standards. Families need enforceable protections right now, not corporate-driven delays.

The federal government is sidelining its most important independent chemical safety referee. For 40+ years EPA’s IRIS program has been the gold standard for answering two vital questions: Is a chemical dangerous? And how much exposure causes harm? theconversation.com/epa-is-sidel...

EPA is sidelining its independent chemical referee – and that endangers public health

The move reshapes how future assessments of chemical dangers will be carried out, and if they’ll be ignored, delayed or understated to benefit industry.
