EARTHJUSTICE | BECAUSE THE EARTH NEEDS A GOOD LAWYER

Dear Friend,
Just last month, the Supreme Court embraced the decades-long demands of mining companies, the fossil fuel industry, reckless developers, and other polluters by ruling that at least half of the 118 million acres (about the area of California) of wetlands in the U.S. are no longer protected by the Clean Water Act. This decision in Sackett v. EPA puts our communities, public health, and local ecosystems in danger, while also giving polluters even more ammunition to strike down regulations meant to protect our health, our environment, and our communities.
While this decision makes us concerned about the foundations of our environmental laws, it is important to keep in mind that we still have the legal tools to fight back. Here at Earthjustice, we will be working with our partners to push Congress to amend the Clean Water Act and press states to enact more protections. We will use the power of the law to defend portions of the Biden administration’s Waters of the United States rule. We will continue to fight for individual wetlands using the Clean Water Act. And we won’t stop there. Earthjustice will continue to stand up against polluters who use our environment as a plaything.
One thing that gives me hope is this community of Earthjustice action-takers, who continue to advocate for stronger protections and reforms to curtail pollution. The Sackett decision shows us there’s more work to be done, but we can do it together.
We need your help to continue this fight. Please click here to take all the actions below on one page.

 

 

 
Defend our right to clean water
Despite public uproar, the Supreme Court’s campaign to wind back our civil, reproductive, voting, and environmental rights continues. This May, the Supreme Court decided Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency — a case that it used to undermine our right to clean water. Tell Congress it's time to defend our right to clean water.
TAKE ACTION

 

 

 
Tell the EPA to tackle the plastic problem
Plastics are everywhere.They are littering our beaches, choking marine life, poisoning communities at the fenceline of petrochemical facilities, leaching into our food and water supplies, and ending up in our bodies. They are also major contributors to climate change. As a result, plastics are destroying our planet and harming our health. Tell the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to tackle the plastic pollution problem by setting bold goals that truly address the climate, health, and biodiversity harms caused by plastics across their lifecycle.
TAKE ACTION
 
Tell the EPA to finalize strong power plant pollution standards
For too long, fossil-burning power plants have had a free pass to pollute. Coal and gas-fired power plants are responsible for more than 30% of U.S. carbon pollution, and they also emit other pollutants that harm our air, water, and health. And yet, there are almost no limits on the amount of climate-warming pollution these plants emit. You can help change that.
TAKE ACTION
 
Clean up toxic coal ash pits
When coal is burned to produce electricity, a toxic waste known as coal ash is left behind. We successfully pushed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate toxic coal ash; now we have the opportunity to ensure that polluters are required to clean up all their coal ash. Tell the Environmental Protection Agency: Time to close the loophole that left over half a billion tons of toxic coal ash in landfills and ponds exempt from federal oversight.
