Sound Rivers

I took to the sky with Sound Rivers’ Neuse Riverkeeper, Samantha Krop, to observe the environmentally-destructive sprawl in Southeast Durham. We must end car-centric sprawl, manage growth, and plan for a sustainable, transit-oriented, green city.

Your action needed—contact your state reps and tell them not to pass disastrous provisions in the NC Regulatory Reform bill that would undercut critical environments protections. ncnewsline.com/2023/06/20/leg…

@RaleighReporter @wunc Not "could"; It does rollback wetland protections. The state had authority to regulate isolated wetlands - now with the farm bill they don't.

The farm bill passed the House today. What's in it? A provision that some worry could reduce wetland protections. Also an equestrian trail, penalties for animal waste spills and an "aspirational goal" for muscadine grape juice: wunc.org/politics/2023-… #ncpol #ncga

"This is heartbreaking and causes a lot of anxiety as well," Tuscarora water protector Jane Jacobs said. She says indigenous communities across North Carolina depend on local waterways to survive."

@NCDEQ claimed this spill was cleaned up, but our riverkeepers’ water sampling results tell a very different story. publicradioeast.org/2023-01-20/evi…
