With Monsanto v. Durnell, the Supreme Court made it harder to hold pesticide companies accountable for the harm their products cause. Two proposed bills could help restore that accountability, and put people before pesticide industry profits. Check out the link in Toxic Free North Carolina bio to voice your support. 🌱

🚨 Do not let EPA silence communities.

EPA is proposing to eliminate minimum public participation for many “minor source” air pollution permits—including permits often used for diesel backup generators at data centers. That could mean no opportunity for communities to speak up before new pollution sources are approved.

📢 Communities deserve a voice in decisions that affect their air and health. Tell EPA: Keep public participation requirements in place. The last day to submit written comments is August 21. See link in Toxic Free North Carolina bio.

It’s Pollinator Week, a time to celebrate the gifts that birds, bats bees, butterflies, and other species contribute to our ecosystem by pollinating plants and trees that offer us nutritious food and clean air. It also a time to reflect on our own interconnected relationship with the land and the critical connections between industrial agriculture, climate change, and biodiversity loss.
