🚚 ⚡We just wrapped up the #ElectrifyingI95 tour! With $250M in EPA Climate Pollution Reduction Grants, the NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION will lead a four-state coalition from CT to MD to electrify Interstate 95 freight trucking! Some highlights: ✅ 450 truck charging stations by 2030 ✅ 18 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions cut by 2050 ✅ Cleaner air for communities along I-95 👍 This is a major leap forward to reduce emissions and invest in sustainable EV infrastructure. 🎥 Check out our #ElectrifyingI95 video tour to see how we are charging forward for a cleaner future along the I-95 corridor!

New upgrades to satisfy environmental regulations at the City of Boise’s water treatment facilities were going to be expensive and yield little return on investment. By standardizing its technology platforms, the city was able to build an entirely new, more efficient facility for the same cost—one that removes 50% more pollutants. Learn more about how this first-of-its-kind collaboration between local, state and federal groups is providing a model for similar projects across the country.

Kudos to the Biden - Harris Administration for the Justice40 Initiative! “What kinds of investments fall within the Justice40 Initiative? The categories of investment are: climate change, clean energy and energy efficiency, clean transit, affordable and sustainable housing, training and workforce development, remediation and reduction of legacy pollution, and the development of critical clean water and wastewater infrastructure.” Learn more about #Justice40 https://lnkd.in/d3cqHUBe

The latest trends in clean air advocacy highlight the importance of community health. Germaine Patterson of Valley Clean Air Now (VCAN) sheds light on the potential sale of U.S. Steel and its impact on climate and public health. With over 19 million tons of CO2e emissions annually and hazardous air pollutants, this sale could have devastating effects. Considering these concerns, in coalition of climate, environmental justice and consumer advocacy organizations sent a letter to the Biden administration urging them to evaluate potential mergers and acquisitions in the domestic steel industry through a health and climate lens.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is investing $25.5M to boost drinking water infrastructure in underserved communities nationwide. Four Native American communities will receive nearly $6.8M to protect their water systems from climate change impacts, Tribal Business News reports. #NativeAmericans #WaterResilience #ClimateChange #EnvironmentalJustice

“Many states and cities are increasingly interested in reusing stormwater to supplement water supplies and address water quality challenges. The work of the Pacific Institute is a great step in helping us, and other water practitioners, understand stormwater’s potential contribution to water reuse on a national scale.” Dr. Sharon Nappier, National Program Leader for Water Reuse, US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Pacific Institute report conducted in partnership with 2NDNATURE, titled “Untapped Potential: An Assessment of Urban Stormwater Runoff Potential in the United States” finds US urban areas have the potential to generate 59.5 million acre-feet of stormwater annually, on average. This is equivalent to an annual average of more than 53 billion gallons per day.

Today, we joined over 30 organisations in writing to the new chair of the Government's Water Commission urging them to secure a healthier future for the UK's rivers, lakes, and seas. Together, we're calling on the commission to: 🚫 Reform the water sector to stop companies from putting profits above clean, healthy water. 🎯 Set clear goals for cleaner rivers. 💰 Properly fund regulators to ensure effective monitoring and enforcement of environmental rules. 🌿 Prioritise nature-based solutions. "Defra have held their own in the budget and it is essential now, that while the commission tackles the failings of the water industry it does not stay blind to the wider challenges our water environment faces, nor does it delay action that we know must happen. This requires a focus on catchment and nature-based management so that the whole range of pressures on our rivers are considered, including from abstraction, urban run-off, transport, farming and habitat decline. "This systemic view will allow us to restore resilient, biodiverse water systems that help us to cope with increasingly common droughts and flooding in the face of climate change." - Tessa Wardley, Director of Communications and Advocacy at The Rivers Trust.

BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION GatesFoundation.org TCI GALLERY SPRING 2024 THEMES: Tenri.org CRYPTOCURRENCY CAPITALISM'S BEST*END HOMELESS. https://lnkd.in/e55sRd8b CRYPTO-FINANCE & WHAT'S ON THE TABLE. MR. MS. TEEFEY & SELENA GOMEZ-Rare-SuperStar WonderMind.com*SelenaGomez.com I ABSOLUTELY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH CRYPTOCURRENCY. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE INFANT DEMOCRATIC-CAPITALISTIC MINDS OF TODAY BLAME THE USA GOVERNMENT. THAT SAID THEN IS ANY GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED FOR THE HOMELESS PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE WORLD.?... NO. GOD KNOWS ALL THE HEADACHES USA GOVERNMENT HAVE WITH THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS. THE NEW WORLD IS PRACTICALLY A SHOCK TO WITNESS. PEOPLE "ONLY WORKING" TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL... "IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." THUS DOESN'T THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE HOMELESS. THE HOMELESS ARE OUT THERE... ARE YOU.? HOMELESS A OPPORTUNITY MISUNDERSTOOD..... The modern economic system is a market economy, which is a capitalist economy where people, not the government--NOT THE GOVERNMENT--own most businesses. In a capitalist economy, prices allocate capital and labor between competing uses, and capital assets like factories, mines, and railroads can be privately owned and controlled. https://lnkd.in/eB98Jnv9 GOOGLE. EXAMPLE, IF YOU NEED TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANY REASON OR MORE SO LETS SAY THE "HOMELESS" PROBLEM WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE TIME & MONEY CONSUMING BUT IN ONE DIRECTION TOWARD THE HOMELESS. HOWEVER CRYPTOCURRENCY CAN POSSIBLE ALLOWS AN EXPENDITURE OF CURRENCY TO BENEFIT ALL WHO USES THE CRYPTO & REGARDLESS OF HOW IT'S CONSUMED. THEREFORE IF A CRYPTO "HOMELESS" CURRENCY EXISTED IT'S MORE HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE HOMELESS PROBLEM CAN BE VANQUISHED BECAUSE CURRENCY-FINANCES IT'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO BE TAPPED INTO FOR HOMELESS RESOLUTIONS.

Happy Earth Day! Earth Day first began in 1970, which is also the year President Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency with the goal of pollution reduction and public health. The EPA was tasked with conducting research as well as setting and enforcing standards of air and water quality. And that is how the evolution of prefabricated chemical storage buildings began. Protecting our waterways is in our DNA. It is who we are. It is why we do what we do every day. So when we say "Happy Earth Day," it's not just lip service or a trendy bandwagon. We use it to remember the very reason of why we're here: to protect the things you value today and tomorrow. #earthday #earthday2024 #waterways #ChemicalStorageBuildings #HazmatStorageBuildings #SecondaryContainmentSump #CodeCompliance #ProtectYourMother #EPA #OSHA #1970
