Something isn’t adding up… The Trump administration’s EPA now estimates the value of a human life at $0. They’re claiming to save money—when you’re actually paying with your wallet, health and safety.

The Trump administration's proposed budget would slash clean drinking water funds by 90%. Last week, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, asked EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin why cut "the one thing we all agree on"?

By the EPA's own estimates, U.S. water infrastructure needs $1.3 trillion in improvements over the next 20 years. Instead, the federal administration's proposed budget would CUT clean water funds by 90%. The Green Agenda's Kayla Shannon and guest Melodie Marsh discuss what these cuts really mean for communities, like Flint, Michigan, where access to safe drinking water is already limited.

We’ll let you in on a little secret… We had the pleasure of meeting up with climate advocate Saad Amer for some spicy takes that climate deniers don’t want you to know!

The Trump administration is handing out free passes to polluters, like this smelter in Miami, AZ. These passes allow billion-dollar companies to skip out on low-cost solutions that reduce lead, arsenic and other toxics in the plant's emissions. EDF General Counsel Vickie Patton spoke with Arizona's Family about how this pollution is impacting the local community.

The Trump administration gave out free passes to pollute to every company that requested one—including a copper smelter in Arizona spewing lead and arsenic into the air just one mile from an elementary school.

63% of American adults think the government isn’t doing enough to protect our health and safety. And EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin claims people are "happy" with his policies?

The EPA exists to protect our health and safety, not to enrich polluters. But the Trump administration has used the agency to hand out free passes to pollute to every power plant that requested one—and even to some that didn't!

It’s oFISHial—the Magnuson-Stevens Act is 50 years old! This law brought scientists and fishermen into the policy process to successfully restore U.S. fish populations. EDF Executive Director Amanda Leland shares how science-based policy like this promotes more accountable government. Follow Touch Grass for more hopeful environmental news!

You sure about that? Energy Secretary Chris Wright was "pretty confident" on Tuesday when he claimed coal would remain the top global energy source for years to come. A report released that same day proved otherwise: renewables overtook coal in 2025. Time to start investing in the clean, affordable energy of the future!

This year, we have the opportunity to vote for affordable energy, cleaner air and better health, while also protecting the planet we love. Learn more about your local elections at the link in our bio!

The Clean Air Act does what it says: Cleans the air we breathe. House Republicans are trying to weaken these lifesaving protections.

Rising energy costs hurt American families—and Hispanic families more than most. As EDF Action's Natasha Vidangos reminds us, voters can choose representation committed to tackling the energy affordability crisis.

Trump's Energy Department targeted states that didn't vote for him in 2024—and they conceded it in court. Now Secretary Chris Wright wants to walk that back?

This hearing got fiery 🔥 Rep. Balint calls out the "vindictive and unlawful" ways that the Trump administration tried to play favorites and cancel energy grants to states that voted against him in 2024.

Once a chemical enters the market, it’s difficult to remove. This Black Maternal Health Week and beyond, we stand for strong chemical protections like the Toxic Substances Control Act that help keep communities safe from the start. EDF’s Suhani Chitalia and Cecile Brown discuss attempts to weaken these protections on the latest episode of @younggiftedgreen’s The Green Agenda! #BMHW26

BRIC is back (alright!) 🎶 FEMA's flagship disaster mitigation program is back after a year of attacks from the Trump administration. This program helps communities invest in weather-resilient infrastructure, saving lives and money when disasters strike. Follow Touch Grass for real reasons to be hopeful and put the “do” in your doomscroll.

Hanging out with a speaker at a climate denial conference wasn't on our 2026 bingo card...
