Most plastic + chemicals added to plastic are made from gas + oil. In 2018, writes @bethgardiner.bsky.social , Saudi Aramco announced plans to drive growth in demand for oil by increasing plastic production. 🧵 1/5 www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...

#CleanWaterKids opportunity!

When Line 6B ruptured, Enbridge didn't notice anything wrong. 17 hours and a million gallons later, a utility worker sounded the alarm. Maybe we shouldn't have an oil pipeline in one of the most complex Great Lakes waterways at all. 🤔 #ShutDownLine5 @owdm.bsky.social

The best way to prevent a spill in the Straits of Mackinac is to not allow the Canadian company that owns the pipeline to go under the straits. No Line 5! #NoLine5 #StopLine5

Michigan is standing up and speaking out against the data center onslaught across our state, against DTE secret deals, unwanted AI nonsense, corporations buying our politicians... And for our communities and a healthy sustainable future for us all. They have the money. We have our power. ♥️💧✊

Lots & lots of state legislation on data centers & their energy use. Carbon Direct is tracking:

Environmental groups warn: proposed Line 5 tunnel under Straits of Mackinac could shift billions in financial risk to taxpayers. “MI taxpayers could be responsible for catastrophic cleanup... public health emergencies, infrastructure disruptions...” — Sean McBrearty, @cleanwatermi.bsky.social

⚠️ URGENT: The #PermissionToPollute Act (HR 3898/the PERMIT Act) is expected to come to a vote in the US House soon. This would gut the Clean Water Act and make it easier for polluters to contaminate rivers, lakes, wetlands, and drinking water sources. Act Now! cleanwater.org/PermissionToPolluteAct

BREAKING: Oil & Water Don't Mix @owdm.bsky.social has just released a bombshell report outlining the $4 billion risk that Michigan taxpayers would face if Gov Whitmer and EGLE approve permits for the Line 5 oil tunnel. bit.ly/riskytunnelreport #ShutDownLine5 1/3

With extreme energy and water usage, local impacts, and jobs and investment that never seem to materialize, communities are turning against data centers. So now the tech industry and utility companies are now trying to bypass public input. Learn more and speak out! cleanwater.org/2025/11/26/m...

Thank you to all our supporters taking action to protect clean water! Support our work with a special #GivingTuesday gift today at cleanwater.org/MIyearend. Together, we are strong. And we'll keep fighting for our freshwater future.♥️💧

“Enbridge and the Army Corps are realizing that the original tunnel proposal is a risky endeavor that would threaten taxpayers and the environment... Why would we trust this new proposal any more than the original one?” #ShutDownLine5 bridgemi.com/michigan-env...

Speak out! Take action against the #PollutedWaterRule now: cleanwater.org/action/Pollu...

Yesterday EPA proposed what we're calling the “Polluted Water Rule”, which would strip protections from most wetlands and seasonal streams across the country. cleanwater.org/releases/off...

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed, In the maritime sailors' cathedral The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald
