I’ve spent the last 1.5 years researching the climate benefits of “clean” #hydrogen. Here are 10 things I’ve learned: 1/ Conventional wisdom is WRONG. Hydrogen (H2) made from renewables and water is not inherently climate neutral and can still contribute to climate change.

On today’s climate decision:

HAPPENING NOW: legal experts from @EnvDefenseFund, @NRDC & @SierraClub hold press call to discuss the impacts of SCOTUS #CleanAirAct decision on climate action. Follow this thread for live updates.

Dear Supreme Court, Thanks for nothing. - Planet Earth

ICYMI, a major study released last week found that redlined communities have higher levels of #AirPollution many decades later. More coverage here: npr.org/2022/03/10/108…

Newly published study by @AU_SPA and @EDFHealth looks at the #environmentaljustice issues that result when customers are required to pay to fully remove the lead pipes that bring drinking water into their homes. mdpi.com/2071-1050/14/1… #mdpisustainability @Sus_MDPI

@LeadSafeKidsRI Too many utilities require consumers to pay to replace lead pipes that bringing drinking water to the home. This puts low wealth communities at risk of lead contamination. It’s time to #GetTheLeadOut

Today CLAP & 4 other orgs submitted a civil rights complaint to EPA: ProvWater’s lead service line replacement practices discriminate against BIPOC communities. We demand full replacements, prioritizing equity & environmental justice. #LeadFreeWaterRI tinyurl.com/ComplaintProvW…

EDF Health VP Sarah Vogel: “With the introduction of the Environmental Justice Air Quality Monitoring Act, Sen. Markey is recognizing many communities bear the unequal health burden of air pollution. @sarvogel edf.org/media/environm…

Beauty has a toxic equity problem. It’s time companies end it by championing #cleanbeautyjustice via @EDFBiz’s @Bbrown_West edf.org/ZBQ2

No zoning. Harmful industries concentrating in Black and brown neighborhoods. Next to no enforcement of protections. Health impacts that last lifetimes — and cut other lives unfairly short. This is what environmental racism looks like in Houston. click2houston.com/news/local/202…

Traffic-related pollution is a major cause of childhood asthma. EDF's new interactive map show how the impacts of pollution can differ, even at the street level in the Bay Area. edf.org/Z8FF

The impacts of air pollution are impossible to ignore: More than 2,500 lives are lost and 5,200 children develop asthma every year from traffic-related air pollution exposure in the Bay Area. See our latest research. edf.org/Z8tn

Every single American has a right to clean drinking water. It’s just plain wrong that in the United States of America today, millions of children still receive their water through lead service pipes. It’s long past time we fix that.

National Cathedral tonight!

Retweet if you think Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley should resign immediately.

CSIR-NEERI, @IndAIR_NEERI, #UniversityofTexas, & @UCBerkeley have published comprehensive report addressing some of the Lower-cost sensor experiences. Complete report can be assessed at: edf.org/sites/default/… @CSIR_IND @shekhar_mande @kumarneeri @parthaabosu @moefcc

Congratulations @Michael_S_Regan to leading @EPA! I'm so excited that #science, #equity and common sense will be back to protect our #environment. #ClimateAction #actonclimate #climatejustice #environmentaljustice #timetoact

Today was a landmark case, a 7 year fight has resulted in air pollution being recognised on Ella’s death certificate. Hopefully this will mean mean many more children’s lives being saved. Thank you everyone for your continued support.

“It builds in years more of assaults on the human body, especially in places where people are breathing the worst of it,” says @CleanAirMoms' @DmnqBrowning in response to @EPA's refusal to update standards for particle pollution. Via @washingtonpost. wapo.st/3mTUONv
