This #EarthDay, rising costs, health risks, and pollution are more connected than they seem. When extraction companies profit, communities often pay the price. 🏭⚠️ Protecting the Earth is protecting ourselves! #EnvironmentalJustice #CorporateAccountability

Public record of Targa, our April #PolluterOfTheMonth shows: -277 emissions exceedances in NM in early 2024. -At least 16 methane super-emitter plumes in 2025. -Nearly $5.5 million in penalties since 2020. Methane accountability still has a long way to go.

ICYMI: Last week, regulators in New Mexico voted unanimously to increase air permit fees, the first update in decades. The new fees will ⬆️ the NM Enviro Department's yearly revenue by $10s of millions, creating jobs & funding compliance & enforcement. earthworks.org/blog/new-mexic…

New field data shows regulators are increasingly inspecting oil and gas pollution reports in Colorado. But some emissions events remain underreported and still permitted under current rules. 📊🌫️ ➡️ bit.ly/Field-Survey-2… #OilAndGas #MethanePollution #PublicHealth

Methane rules remain in place, but ongoing efforts to weaken protections could delay progress and harm communities. Strong standards and continued advocacy are still essential. ✊💚 ➡️ bit.ly/Cut-Methane-Ru… #EnvironmentalJustice #CleanAir #ClimateAccountability

On #TaxDay, most people pay their fair share. But oil, gas, and mining companies benefit from tax breaks and loopholes, shifting the burden onto taxpayers. 💸⚖️ #CorporateAccountability #EnvironmentalJustice

New Mexico is increasing air permit fees so polluting industries help fund inspections and enforcement. It’s a step toward protecting public health and reducing the burden on taxpayers. 🌬️⚖️ ➡️ bit.ly/NM-Air-Quality #CleanAir #EnvironmentalJustice #PublicHealth

ICYMI: #NoMansLand highlights the courageous Indigenous women of New Mexico fighting back against oil & gas exploitation. 🚫🛢️ Their fight continues—watch and stand with them! #NavajoNation 📺➡️ bit.ly/Four-Corners-D… Proud to support @dinecare88 in this important work! 💪🏽

On #TaxDay, families pay their share while oil and gas companies make record profits and benefit from tax breaks. That means you pay more at the pump and in your taxes. 💸⚖️ #CorporateAccountability #EnvironmentalJustice

CO is taking action to cut methane pollution, even as federal protections face challenges. Strong state rules can help protect public health and reduce emissions. 🌍💚 ➡️ bit.ly/Cut-Methane-CO #CutMethane #CleanAir #ClimateAction

Methane is a powerful climate pollutant, warming the planet far faster than CO2 and often released with harmful toxics. Cutting these emissions protects both the climate and public health. 🌡️⚠️ ➡️ bit.ly/Cut-Methane-Ru… #Methane #ClimateAction #PublicHealth

New Mexico could face more than 5,000 abandoned oil and gas wells and up to $1.6 billion in cleanup costs under current rules. Modernizing bonding helps ensure oil and gas corporations pay to clean up wells they drill. 🔗 bit.ly/3PKgZZV
