Public environmental data helps people understand their environment, supports research, and informs policies that protect communities. But when this data disappears, critical initiatives can come to a halt. Read more about the importance of public data: screening-tools.com/blog/pedp-en... #Data

EDGI has published our 2025 Annual Report! See what we achieved for more just and democratic environmental data and governance systems last year: envirodatagov.org/publication/... We are so grateful to everyone who supported EDGI in 2025, especially our funders and amazing volunteers. 🫶

There are “more than 20 groups & thousands of people advocating for public data in different ways, from the Internet Archive to the Environmental Data & Governance Initiative, which is documenting changes to federal environmental data & language.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Make your voice heard as EPA proposes to weaken regulations for the highly toxic gas Ethylene Oxide! Tuesday, April 28, EDGI and @ucs.org host a workshop on how to write a public comment to EPA on this dangerous proposal. Sign up for the workshop here: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

This #EarthDay we’re grateful for our volunteers who help us track impacts to environmental data and governance under this administration. They’ve been especially busy monitoring impacts to the EPA, which was formed in part as a response to the original Earth Day in 1970.

A year before the March explosion at a Port Arthur oil refinery, the Trump admin removed public access to the facility's risk management plans. A new proposed rule would further limit info on chemical hazards. Join EDGI & @ucs.org on 4/20 for this public comment workshop. Register: bit.ly/4vvtbho

“We are currently in the Great Depression of EPA enforcement.” EDGI shows “58% of enforcement activities in historic decline under this EPA, broadly contradicting Administrator Zeldin’s claim that the agency is bringing the ‘rule of law back.’” Op-ed by EDGI members: blog.ucs.org/science-blog...

A wonderful new resource on disappearing data under the second Trump administration:

Like other federal agencies that deal in science, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has been through the Trump administration wringer. Amidst the chaos, some former employees are trying to protect scientific integrity from future political assault. By @madelinevo.bsky.social

A wonderful new resource on disappearing data under the second Trump administration:

Trump's EPA claims “the strongest enforcement and compliance results in years.” But three independent groups’ analyses show a record plunge in the agency’s enforcement of the US laws protecting human health & the environment. Thanks to @envirodgi.bsky.social for tracking what's happening at EPA.

Seeing each entry listed one after another is staggering, but the truth is no one person / org can track it all. @envirodgi.bsky.social @datarescueproject.org @eotarchive.org and PLENTY of others have been doing the deep, painstaking work of tracking and preserving critical data.

At long last… Earlier this week, PEDP launched version 2.1 of the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST)! ⚙️CEJST: public-environmental-data-partners.github.io/j40-cejst-2/... This release marks the first PEDP design and development project for this tool outside of… (1/3)

EPA deleted information on the hazards of the extremely toxic gas Ethylene Oxide (EtO) on the same day it announced a proposal to weaken EtO regulations. Read more in our website monitoring team's new blog: envirodatagov.org/epa-removes-...

Last week, EPA finally released its 2025 fiscal year enforcement report, with a press release announcing the “strongest ... results in years.” EDGI added context and data to the press office’s misleading statements. Read our annotation: envirodatagov.org/epas-enforce...

Nice quote from the Archive's @rsanta.bsky.social in a new article from Inside Climate News insideclimatenews.org/news/1603202...

EPA’s press office claims enforcement under Trump protects “human health & the environment like never before. But the EPA’s own data shows a dramatically different trajectory.” In fact, EDGI’s report shows that by many important measures, enforcement in 2025 hit a 20 year low. bit.ly/4sjU4TH

“It is hard to say there’s nothing we can do about [climate change] when the data show otherwise. It is hard to convince people of a lie when there is data that shows the truth. And the Trump administration knows this.” Op-ed by EDGI’s @gretchengehrke.bsky.social: thehill.com/opinion/ener...

"Environmental Data and Governance Initiative reports that the administration made more than 630 significant changes to federal environmental websites in its first 100 days, a pace that far exceeds that of the first Trump administration." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Very cool to see the @nsarchive.bsky.social’s work on disappearing climate data featured in @postopinions.bsky.social! I’d also point readers to the excellent work of @envirodgi.bsky.social and @publicenvirodata.bsky.social, the experts in environmental data preservation! wapo.st/4b5EUd8
