New England’s final coal plant shuts down years ahead of schedule. Poor economics drove the aging New Hampshire plant offline three years early, even as the Trump administration pushes to revitalize coal. grist.org/energy/new-e... #Coal #Energy #Economics #NH #NewHampshire

Our new CT Director, Christine Bartlett-Josie, was at the @saferstates.bsky.social conference this week networking with toxics activists from across the nation. Connecticut became one of the #StatesInTheLead getting #PFAS out of common products with our 2025 legislation. Great work, CT activists!

Check out these three AMAZING organizers! We were at the @saferstates.bsky.social conference this week networking with toxics activists from across the nation. Rhode Island is one of the #StatesInTheLead getting #PFAS out of common products. Which state will be next??

TFF’s science director breaks down the science behind Washington's recent first-in-nation ban on all formaldehyde-releasing chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products—and why it's good news for salon workers, women of color, and anyone who uses everyday products like shampoo or lotion. 💚

Coal demand may be rising globally, but Trump's promised U.S. coal renaissance hit some major bumps this week — including fallout from a catastrophic failure and a lawsuit against the president's plan to keep a Michigan plant alive. Read about it from @alexckaufman.bsky.social in this morning's AM:

Trump's EPA is going to let coal plants dump poison in water. How is this Making Americans Healthy Again? cleanwater.org/2025/10/06/e...

Safer cookware is possible, in fact, it already exists! States are leading the way by removing toxic #PFAS chemicals from cookware to protect our health. Let’s keep the momentum going. 🍳 #StatesInTheLead

Today we joined @actonclimateus.bsky.social, members of Congress, and climate advocates to deliver 225,000+ public comments to the EPA opposing the attacks on the Endangerment Finding and Trump's #ClimateChaosPlan. We need to protect our climate and American's health from toxic pollutants.

Everyday plastics contain phthalates—linked to infertility, ADHD, premature birth, and more. WA and major retailers have banned them in some products, but that’s just the start. To protect our health, we must ban endocrine-disrupting additives in plastics everywhere.

Check out our very own Clean Water Action Legislative Director in California, Andria Ventura, discussing why CA Governor Newsom must pass legislation (AB 823) to protect drinking water from microplastics. www.mercurynews.com/2025/09/12/o...

Our team in California is fighting to protect families from toxic #PFAS too! Great work, team. Let's get this over the finish line! #banPFAS

Today, 9/15, is the LAST DAY to make your voice heard! Trump’s EPA is trying to push back compliance deadlines for coal plants to clean up their toxic coal ash. Don't let coal plants dodge responsibility—submit a comment to the EPA today. act.cleanwater.org/page/177494/...

URGENT ALERT! 📢 Tell EPA: Do not delay toxic coal plant compliance deadlines! We have 7 DAYS until this EPA comment period closes. Please visit the link below to make your voice heard today: act.cleanwater.org/page/177494/...

More water contaminated with forever chemicals and less protections for firefighters and military service members - why would anyone support this? #banPFAS www.thenewlede.org/2025/08/cong...

So, in summary.... the Trump admin is SPENDING money to keep dirty coal plants open while killing New England jobs by halting construction of affordable clean energy projects. Make it make sense??

New England workers deserve better. Our states are working together to build a local clean energy economy rather than remain dependent on dirty fossil fuels from other states. Meanwhile, this admin is doing everything they can to cancel local jobs.

💧 These bills give corporate polluters more power to contaminate the rivers, lakes, and streams we rely on for drinking, fishing, and swimming. It’s a direct threat to our health, water, & way of life. #ProtectCleanWater #StopTheDirtyWaterBill #VoteNoOnHR3898 act.cleanwater.org/page/173938/...

GOOD NEWS ALERT: Check out our local updates from the ReThink Disposable team in New England! Our summer intern wrote a great piece celebrating our successes and sharing tips for everyone to be a plastics activist! #PlasticFreeJuly @rethinkdisposable.bsky.social cleanwater.org/2025/07/08/j...

The budget bill may have passed, but there's still more we can do: The PERMIT Act is coming up soon, and it has so many giveaways to polluters we're calling it the "Permission to Pollute" Act. It guts the Clean Water Act, weakens pollution safeguards, and puts our water AND our health at risk.

Plastic pollutes. From the extraction of fossil fuels to polluting manufacturing processes to litter and microplastics to final disposal - they are a disaster for our drinking water at every step. This #PlasticFreeJuly, say NO to single-use plastic. #ReThinkDisposable

Imagine a race without piles of crumpled cups left behind. Our friends at the Cedar Lake Tri Series have partnered with our ReThink Disposable program again this summer. We're providing reusable cups and water bottles, collecting and sterilizing them, and returning them for the next race. No mess!

To learn where we need to go, we must first understand where we’ve been. Take time today to learn more about the history and leadership of LGBTQ+ leaders in the Environmental Protection movement! 👇 #PrideMonth ‍🌈 cleanwater.org/2025/06/24/p...

Our very own Bethany Dickerson shares her thoughts on Queer Environmentalism: "The environmental movement’s goal of building a safe, sustainable, and more inclusive world for all can only be strengthened by including Queer activists’ voices at the table and paying attention to intersectionality."

Save the date! It's HOT today, but it's not too soon to mark your calendars for our annual Fall Toast, September 13th! Food, drinks, friends... and maybe cooler weather?

Juneteenth is more than a date. It's a reminder that freedom is not just declared, it’s demanded. It’s earned, fought for, held onto. While this day honors the past, it also brings into focus the present: the rights still at risk, the voices still unheard. cleanwater.org/2025/06/18/j...

#Microplastics aren’t just tiny, they’re toxic! They carry harmful chemicals and are linked to serious health risks. It’s time for state leaders to step up, reduce plastic use, promote non-toxic reuse, and phase out dangerous chemicals. 🔗Learn more: www.saferstates.org/microplastics/

Thank you, Clean Water Action members, for all of your hard work! (And thank you to our allies in the CT legislature!) The 2025 legislative session ended on a high note with victories on climate and pesticides. Read more in our latest blog post! cleanwater.org/2025/06/16/2...
