John, We made a list. We checked it twice. And you don’t want to be on it. It’s a naughty list of the worst polluters. Our naughty list includes companies harming communities and being bad corporate citizens. Some examples: - Spilling cyanide-laced wastewater into Argentinean rivers and forcing communities off their land to expand mines in the Dominican Republic. That’s Barrick Gold.
- Poisoning air and water while fracking next to daycare centers. That’s TotalEnergies.
- Dumping hundreds of millions of tons of toxic waste into a bay off Indonesia, wrecking coral reefs and ruining fisheries. That’s Newmont Mining. Oh, they also harass local residents who speak up about the poisoning.
We could suggest sending them a lump of coal, but they'd probably like it. Instead, Earthworks is working to deliver a 2024 full of community-led opposition to ensure they don't get away with dumping waste and poison into our air and water. Take on the NAUGHTY LIST of the worst polluters with a year-end donation now so Earthworks can immediately get to work to fight these corporations who are literally destroying our planet. |

Thank you for all your support this year. We’re fortunate to have you at our side as we work with communities to support families and fight for a clean environment. In solidarity,  Jennifer Krill
Executive Director PS: The criteria to add a company to the Naughty List may include metrics on pollution, carbon footprint, resource use efficiency, impact on vulnerable communities, and compliance with environmental laws. Here’s the full naughty list with a bit more on how these companies got here: - Barrick Gold [pollution and human rights violations]
- Chevron [2nd largest polluter in the world and fighting air pollution protections]
- TotalEnergies [fracking near daycare centers and expanding refineries in Texas]
- Formosa Plastics Group [harming communities from the Gulf Coast to Vietnam]
- Newmont Mining [pollution and violence in Haiti, Indonesia, and Peru]
- Vale [responsible for the Brumadinho, Brazil, mining dam collapse, killing 272 people]
Help Earthworks take on these and other corporations harming communities in the U.S. and around the world. |
