Mississippi holds hearing on xAI data center amid environmental lawsuit threat Mississippi regulators will host a public hearing on Tuesday over plans by Elon Musk's xAI to build a gas-fired power plant to power its Colossus II data center, as the company faces a lawsuit threat ...

Elon Musk's xAI erected 35 UNPERMITTED gas turbines in a Black Memphis neighborhood no permits, no oversight, no accountability. The NAACP is suing. This is environmental racism. #xAI #EnviroJustice #ClimateRacism #AIHarms

Can't say my NY resolution is to spend more time on social media, but I did want to pop over and share my latest article!

Deeply Troubled by Forest Floodplain Public Land Sale to Development in Sterling Heights We submitted this formal letter to the Sterling Heights City Council regarding the proposed sale and development of land purchased

Thankful to all those pushing back on urges to develop every last parcel and special interests. It shouldn’t be a difficult choice — housing for those in need should be placed away from high risk flood zones.

Green graphic design image with light purple pink text overlay that reads Our bodies, our earth. Join ProgressNow New Mexico for a video series on the fight for reproductive and environmental justice. There is an image of someone holding their hands out at the top and at the bottom is a bouquet of wildflowers.

Graphic design image with light green background and purple pink text that says part 1: Series Introduction. In part 1, we lay the foundation for our series - uncovering the deep connection between reproductive and environmental justice. Environmental toxins threaten both our health and reproductive rights, disproportionately impacting marginalized communities.

Graphic design image with light green background and purple pink text that says part 2: Pregnancy in a warming world. In part 2 of our series, we dive into the ways that climate-related disasters affect pregnancy. Rising temperatures and pollution increase risks like preterm birth and complications, while New Mexico's lack of accessible maternity care amplifies these dangers. We need to address both climate and healthcare inequities to protect maternal health.

Graphic design image with light green background and purple pink text that says part 3: How the climate crisis is shaping childhood development. In part 3 of our series, we explore how the climate crisis harms childhood development. Rising temperatures, air pollution, and extreme weather threaten children's health with long term risks like respiratory issues and mental health disorders. In New Mexico, poor air quality worsens these dangers.

That's a wrap on our new educational series, y’all! You can now view all 5 parts of Our Bodies, Our Earth: The Fight for Environmental and Reproductive Justice on YouTube 💜

In 1948 a 6-day inversion trapped mill toxins over Donora, PA—dozens died, thousands sickened. We visited the Donora Smog Museum to hear how a “death fog” changed how the U.S. thinks about work, health & the environment.

Alberta’s orphan well crisis just doubled. 😞
As of Jan 29, 2025, AER handed 2,500 Sequoia sites to the Orphan Well Association. Cleanup could take a decade or more.
$120B in liabilities. $25K per Albertan. Who pays?
#Abpoli #Ableg #OrphanWells #PolluterPay #EnviroJustice

Alberta returned $137M in federal cleanup funds—money meant to address inactive wells. 🤯
Meanwhile, liabilities could hit $120B. That’s $25,000 per Albertan.
The Orphan Fund is underfunded. The crisis remains.

UN investigator seeks urgent action as gardaí ordered to disclose confidential file to facilitate defamation case Deep concerns have been raised over court proceedings where gardaí were ordered to hand over a confidential complaint for use in a defamation case.

An Irish court ordered gardaí to hand over a confidential police complaint made by an environmentalist, potentially exposing whistleblowers and setting a chilling precedent for public reporting of corporate abuse. @codohertynews.bsky.social

US EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has announced the rollback of 31 EPA rules that protect our #Environment & promote #PublicHealth. The federal admin also plans to eliminate the Office of #EnviroJustice. These decisions will disproportionately harm low-income communities & communities of color.

Wonderful celebration after my public lecture on our research that validated the community voices on the air quality crisis at the US-Mexico border due to the heavily polluted Tijuana River. #envirojustice @biaklimeck.bsky.social @scrippsocean.bsky.social

UN Report Finds that Pesticide Use Negatively Impacts Human Rights - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog (Beyond Pesticides, March 8, 2017) A report released by the United Nations finds that human rights are adversely affected by pesticide use. With chemicals, like pesticides, long advanced by the synthetic pesticide and fertilizer industry as the answer to feeding the world, the Special Rapporteur on the right to food report concludes that industrialized agriculture has not succeeded in eliminating world hunger, and has only hurt human health and the environment in its wake. The report will be presented before the Human Rights Council today, and aims to give the international governing body an in-depth understanding of the state of global pesticide use in agriculture and its impact on human rights, specifically as it relates to food security. It also looks at the impact of pesticides on the environment, highlighting the need for a transition to more sustainable agricultural practices on a global scale. Authors of the report, Hilal Elver, Ph.D., the UN’s special rapporteur on the right to food, and Baskut Tuncak, the UN’s special rapporteur on toxics, highlight the overarching problem with their observation that “reliance on hazardous pesticides is a short-term solution that undermines the rights to adequate food and health for present and future generations.” They begin the report by […]
