AI data centers are extremely unpopular, and it's long past time to regulate this polluting industry. https://fwwat.ch/4o8NAnr

Big Tech's gaslighting knows no bounds... 😤 Saying that people shouldn't want lower prices on food, energy and housing isn't just out of touch – it's yet another reminder that corporations are happy to profit at OUR expense.

"The pattern echoes across Appalachia and the South, where Black communities and low-wealth rural towns are being targeted for industrial development that requires huge amounts of power, water, and land."

Lack of regulation of Big Ag means that workers - including children - are exposed to pesticides that can make them sick. These corporations must be held accountable!

Our efforts to protect our food, water and climate are collective. We couldn't do this work without our brilliant Advisory Council!

Don’t believe Big Tech’s talking points. Data centers will drive up our electricity bills – period. In fact, data centers are expected to consume “as much electricity…as the whole of Japan does today” by 2030 😳

🥳 VICTORY 🥳 We’re celebrating a HUGE win in stopping microplastics 🚰 Together with our allies and volunteers, we pushed seven governors to submit a petition to the EPA demanding it monitor for microplastics in our drinking water!

We love to see this 😍 Helping households convert to electric heat pumps is a BIG step in moving away from fossil-fueled heating!

It’s unacceptable for Nestlé to bottle our water resources in plastic for a profit, and this news that it may also be illegally dumping plastic in France just adds insult to injury.

Despite this year’s challenges, we still have a lot to be thankful for. This Thanksgiving and every day, we’re incredibly grateful to our members and supporters for fighting alongside us for safe food, clean water and a livable climate 🧡

This Thanksgiving, we’re fact-checking Trump’s lies that grocery prices are “way down.” In fact, the 🧾s show that Trump’s reckless tariffs, weaponization of ICE against food workers and other damaging policies have made already high inflation much worse.

Trump says Thanksgiving grocery prices are “way down” – but his own administration’s Consumer Price Index data says otherwise 🧐 Watch to learn more from our Research Director Amanda Starbuck, who broke down this topic during our November Livable Future Live earlier this month 👇

Let's be clear about who is at fault here: Big Tech, the fossil fuel industry and the politicians who enable them.

This month’s Livable Future Live is a special one: we’re featuring some of our powerhouse volunteers! RSVP to hear about their experiences building people power to protect our food, water and climate on December 10 at 7PM ET: https://fwwat.ch/3Khp05Z

Companies don't face penalties, but Iowans face threats to their health.

"The Trump administration’s first pick to lead FEMA was fired after telling Congress that the agency should not be eliminated." Well, that just about sums up this administration's approach to climate and emergency management.

Factory farming, pathogens and defunding of regulatory agencies and food safety measures is a dangerous combination.

Are you in the middle of cooking for Thanksgiving and thinking about how we can build a better food system? Here are some tips from @farmaid.org!

Earlier this month, we were proud to partner with @copalmn.bsky.social @popdemoc.bsky.social @threewatersprt.bsky.social and @oilchange.bsky.social for a Movement to End Fossil Fuels training in Minneapolis! There'll be more trainings in other cities soon, so stay tuned!

This is what happens when Big Tech's power goes unchecked.

Thanks to the cruelty and cowardice that allowed the Trump spending bill to pass, too many people may now face the loss of healthcare. Let your Senators know what you think of their votes: https://fwwat.ch/3Wfn8gI

This claim is insulting to everyone who is struggling to afford basic groceries, let alone a Thanksgiving feast. Read more in our analysis here:

“Each of these polluters bears direct responsibility for the pollution that they’re putting out there and they should be held responsible...Every one of these agencies, from the DEQ to the Oregon Department of Agriculture, they all have regulatory authority and they haven’t used it.”

It's not just animals: dismantling the Endangered Species Act would enable more drilling, logging and other extractive industries that harm the whole planet.

With a hostile federal government, local-level support for electrification is more important than ever!

It's long past time for @governor.ny.gov to sign the repeal of the 100-foot rule! Right now, this rule forces individuals to pay for gas companies' installations of new gas lines. Repealing this rule would save New Yorkers approximately $581M per year - let's get it done!

"The Interior Department, which oversees the Park Service, owes these workers as much as $200,000 in total, according to the documents and the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they feared retaliation."

We can't afford *not* to regulate AI data centers! Tell your Reps that they must oppose anti-regulatory measures: https://fwwat.ch/4o8NAnr

So many people are still reeling form the cruelty of Trump's shutdown and the cowardice that helped his spending bill to pass. We're buckling down and getting ready to defend funding for clean water in 2026.

Starting to think that MAHA guy is not altogether honest or trustworthy! 🙄

From Tyler Lobdell, our Sr. Staff Attorney: MI now has one of the strongest permits in the country to protect water sources and the people who depend on them from factory farm pollution. Our legal team was proud to be a part of this victory - here's to clean water in every state!

A new analysis by our friends @foeus.bsky.social tested samples of baby food sold at Target and found that EVERY SINGLE ONE contained toxic pesticides 😱 That’s unacceptable, and one of many reasons why we’re fighting to hold this dangerous industry accountable.

😡

Around the world, climate activists, who should be respected, are instead being criminalized. Here in the U.S., passing the No Political Enemies (NOPE) Act would go a long way towards protecting free speech. Tell your Reps to support it: https://fwwat.ch/3Ixemr8

This is why we advocate for replacement of lead pipes!

Known risks of microplastics keep piling up. All the more reason to push for better regulation!

Offshore oil and gas drilling is horrible for the planet, and it's also extremely unpopular!

Pipeline expansion pollutes the water and air of nearby communities and the planet as a whole. There's no excuse for continued expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure!

We can't recommend @austinfrerick.bsky.social's writing on Big Ag highly enough. Check out our conversation with him from February of this year: www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2025/02/19/h...

While subsidies for renewables are cut, we're forced to keep subsidizing the oil and gas industries that cause the climate crisis. That's just wrong! Tell your Reps to make a change and support the End Polluter Welfare Act: fwwat.ch/4meKK02

Louder for people in the back!

From @billmckibben.bsky.social: “It is time to hit [oil companies] where it counts for them, and that is by sending them a big fat bill to reflect exactly the damage that they’ve been doing.” If you make a mess, you clean it up - period!

These shameful approval of corporate rate hikes is an insult to Floridians who are struggling to afford basic necessities.

Providing solar energy for those who can't afford it on their own would be a win for our planet and for people's finances. This administration's move to cancel Solar for All grants is so deeply harmful.

💚🧹Just saying: we'd be delighted to have Cynthia Erivo join us as a Food & Water Watch member!

UPDATE: We’re just a few donors away from unlocking $10,000 in match funds, which we’ll use to take Trump to court to keep factory farm pollution out of our waterways. Join us by making your gift before MIDNIGHT tonight: https://fwwat.ch/EOY2025

These devastating numbers "speak to the human cost of prioritizing US corporate interests over the lives of people around the globe."

People do not want to live near data centers, and for good reason: they're expensive and polluting! We need Congress to oppose the forcing of data centers onto communities. Let your Reps know your thoughts: https://fwwat.ch/47P7izN

California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard incentivizes factory farm production of biogas. That's bad news for California and for our planet.

Listen to Jocelyn, our brilliant Senior Digital Campaigner! Donating *any* amount gets us closer to a $10,000 matching gift! fwwat.ch/EOY2025
