Trump's EPA Wants to Count Microplastics While Corporations Keep Dumping Them | Common Dreams ​Committing $144 million to study microplastics while subsidizing fossil fuels by nearly $31 billion a year is like trying to clean up an oil spill with a spoon while the tanker is still spewing.

We do not need more studies to understand microplastics in our bodies. We need policies that prevent them from getting there in the first place.

At a time when the science is clear, and action is overdue, the Trump administration’s STOMP initiative—aimed at measuring and removing microplastics from the human body—is a convenient distraction that delays real action.

As Team Trump gets more desperate, they are trying to hold onto their rapidly diminishing base. That includes the MAHA crowd, which hoped RFK Jr. might make some progress on issues impacting our health. They continue to be disappointed. #BreakFreeFromPlastic www.commondreams.org/opinion/trum...

Greenpeace USA calls for the removal of Trump for war crimes - Greenpeace Greenpeace USA activists took a banner to the White House calling for the immediate removal of President Donald Trump for war crimes.

Read the full statement from Greenpeace USA Program Director John Hocevar

This is a moment where the Vice President and presidential cabinet must intervene to invoke the 25th Amendment and declare Trump unfit for office.

We have a responsibility to tell Congress that their constituents expect them to prevent millions of deaths from happening in our name.

NO WAR calls are coming from across the nation while Trump schemes up more ways to steal oil under the guise of a senseless war that would not only put Americans’ lives at risk, but is already threatening the livelihood of all.

President Trump threatened ‘a whole civilization will die tonight’ if Iran does not meet his deadline — an obvious threat to commit an illegal attack on civilians.

The protection of our oceans and all the species that live in them is core to the DNA of Greenpeace USA. Since our founding, we’ve been working to Save the Whales and Protect the Turtles, and one manufactured emergency won't change that. The movement to protect our oceans is alive!

This isn't just about the Gulf. It sets a precedent that could be used to gut wildlife protections anywhere in the country and the world.

Trump’s "God Squad" just voted to strip Endangered Species Act protections from all oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico. That means sea turtles, manatees, Rice's whales, and sperm whales are no longer shielded from the industry's worst impacts: ship strikes, blasting, and oil spills.

The Endangered Species Committee (whose actual job is apparently to decide which species get to live) just convened for the first time in over 30 years and what came out of that meeting will devastate our planet.

The "God Squad" sounds like it belongs in a bad superhero film. But this is real life.

U.S. plastics response falls short as Americans face widespread chemical exposure - Greenpeace - Greenpeace While we need microplastics out of our water, the Trump administration's announcement of more research is not leadership, it's more of the same—another gift to the very industries that are making Amer...

We don't need more research to understand what microplastics are doing once they're in our bodies, we need policies that stop them from getting them there in the first place.

TL;DR they’re doing more research 🙄

We were invited by the EPA to a Microplastics Announcement. You won’t believe what they’re doing 🧵

The U.S. government is moving fast to grant leases to corporations for deep sea mining (DSM).

“American Samoa is not a test case; it’s at risk of becoming the federal government’s blueprint” for DSM warns Greenpeace USA’s Jackie Dragon.

Trump is making us sicker – and lying about it - Greenpeace A new scientific study has provided the most comprehensive look at how our attachment to oil and gas is killing people and making us sick.

Trump’s EPA is moving to weaken protections on cancer-causing pollutants, ditch forever chemical limits in our drinking water, and give polluters a free pass from the Clean Air Act.

Trump says he’s “making America healthy again,” but he’s lying. The science shows his fossil fuel agenda is making us sicker — and costing lives.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Our movement is strongest when grounded in our communities. Sign up for a #NoKings event on March 28 and join our friends at Indivisible! Give your neighbors a place to make it clear to Trump: in America, we don’t do kings ❌

A Once-in-a-4,433-Year Heat Wave Is Hitting the Western U.S. The consequences will linger well past the high temperatures.

1. March temps are off the charts
2. Crude oil is $106/bbl
3. Our "savviest" pundits have spent the last few years encouraging Dems to de-emphasize climate and double down on oil dependence.

Doing great, how are you?
