Tell the EPA to ban leaded aviation gasoline
While the use of leaded gasoline in most cars was banned 25 years ago, leaded aviation gasoline is still used in nearly 170,000 piston-engine aircraft across 20,000 airports. EPA estimates that emissions from these airplanes account for about 70% of lead released into the atmosphere.
Protect the Western Arctic from oil drilling
The Willow Project is a disastrous Western Arctic drilling plan that could generate as much carbon as 66 coal plants emit in a year, jeopardize the health and traditional practices of nearby Alaska Native communities, devastate local wildlife like polar bears, migratory birds, and caribour. Thanks to an Earthjustice lawsuit, the project is on hold for now. However, the Bureau of Land Management released a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement and finished a new comment period – which means the agency is still moving towards allowing drilling. Join us in calling on Secretary of the Interior Haaland to stop the project.
Stop fossil fuel facilities before they're even built
The fossil fuel industry has aggressive plans to lock in new oil and gas infrastructure in the form of crude oil and gas export terminals. In the Gulf of Mexico, Earthjustice is challenging proposed construction of four crude oil and gas terminals, which would cause significant greenhouse gas emissions and pose significant health and environmental risks for Gulf Coast communities. Tell the Biden administration: Protect our communities and our climate – reject the offshore deepwater port proposals in the Gulf of Mexico
Tell the Biden administration to tackle the biodiversity crisis
The world is facing a biodiversity crisis. In the coming decades, a million of Earth’s species face the possibility of extinction due to climate change, pollution, and habitat loss. The crisis threatens not only the plants and animals we know and love, but all of us. World leaders committed to protect 30% of the world’s lands and oceans by 2030. The Biden administration must focus on actions the U.S. can take in the next two years to protect biodiversity.
Protect the endangered Gulf of Mexico whale from extinction
The Rice’s whale, also known as the Gulf of Mexico whale, can be as big as a railroad boxcar and as heavy as a typical fire truck and is the only large whale species that lives year-round in the waters of the United States. And because of fossil fuel exploration development and other human activities, it is also the most endangered large whale species in the world. Only about 50 of these rare whales remain. Join us in urging the Biden administration to protect the endangered Gulf of Mexico whale from extinction.
