An important peer-reviewed scientific journal has just formally retracted a published paper that has been used for 25 years to support the safety of glyphosate also known as Roundup. The Journal Editor-in-Chief Prof. Martin van den Berg, Ph.D., said in a note accompanying the retraction that he had taken the step because of “serious ethical concerns regarding the independence and accountability of the authors of this article and the academic integrity of the carcinogenicity studies presented.” Read about it here: https://zurl.co/juExN

"Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer last week joined governors from 6 other states demanding the EPA add microplastics to its data collection program on contaminants not currently covered by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The SDWA requires the EPA include a contaminant on the monitoring list if it receives a petition from 7 governors, unless it determines that monitoring a substance would block them from monitoring a contaminant presenting more of a public health concern."

🏭💨😷Remember when deadly smog filled our air, rivers were on fire, and toxins poisoning us was the norm? 55 years ago pressure from millions of people led to the government creating the Environmental Protection Agency. ’s mission is supposed to be to protect our health and our right to clean water, air, and land - yet, the Trump administration is gutting the EPA, giving polluters free rein with historic rollbacks, harming the health and lives of people of color and low-income the most.

The good news? We the people had the power to create the EPA, and we still have the power to make sure it actually fulfills its mission by protecting us ALL. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

Led by , , , Environmental Justice Health Alliance, and — we are calling on you to join us in ringing the alarm on EPA’s plans to rollback vital protections, and demand better.

The coalition, representing millions of frontline and fenceline community members, will not stand for EPA’s proposals to revoke critical protections, erase environmental justice, and gut EPA funding, research, staff, air monitoring, and investments.

Clean air and a livable planet are not a privilege. They are our rights!

The Trump Administration says this rollback “reduces costs.” In reality, it kneecaps innovation, raises lifetime fuel costs, and takes away cleaner, cheaper choices. Oil lobbyists win. Drivers and families lose.

The Center for Biological Diversity and Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments petitioned the EPA and the President’s Make America Healthy Again Commission to address the health risks posed by the heavy use of toxic pesticides on Christmas trees. ANHE's Executive Director Katie Huffling noted "Christmas tree production involves substantial pesticide use, including many highly toxic chemicals that are banned or restricted in other countries and known to cause harm to children, yet the EPA has never assessed residential exposure to pesticides from Christmas trees. ... We need the EPA to ensure that families across the country are both protected from and aware of the potential health risks from exposure to pesticide-coated Christmas trees."
