The current House reconciliation proposal includes huge giveaways to the fossil fuel industry that will endanger our health, environment, and endangered species. Rice’s whales, belugas, polar bears, and many more endangered species will be put in far more dangerous risk than they already are.

Spring is an important growing time for many species, including pollinators and other wildlife. Allowing your yard to grow for longer lets flowers bloom, providing vital nectar and pollen for bees and butterflies and cover for fireflies. #rewilding #yardrewilding #helppollinators #nomowmay

Factory farms, where animals are raised on an industrial scale, are a huge source of water pollution, and the EPA does not require them to hold a Clean Water Act permit to operate. Heavy metals, pesticides, antibiotics, and other contaminants end up in our rivers, wetlands, groundwater, and lakes.

Pollinators are vital components of our ecosystems, and 75% of our crops rely on insect pollination. But right now due to habitat loss and pesticide overuse, the world is experiencing an insect apocalypse, with insect abundance dropping by almost 50%, and 27% of species have gone extinct. #monarchs

Recycled toilet paper keeps additional trees from being cut down and makes use of office paper and newspaper that would otherwise end up in landfills. In fact, if every household in America substituted a single 4-pack of virgin forest TP for recycled TP, it would save over 740,000 trees!
