Hi John,

Last week, EDF members from across the nation celebrated Earth Day, sharing inspiring stories, photos and videos to remind us all why our planet is worth fighting for.

It was deeply moving and shows that the progress we’ve made, and will continue to make, reflects the will of so many voices from all different walks of life.

We will use that motivation to push even harder for climate progress! That’s why I’m excited to share with you some actions and articles that you may have missed this April.

The plastics industry is rebranding inefficient, dirty incineration as a “solution” to the plastic pollution crisis. We deserve to be protected against the toxic, harmful pollution that comes from burning plastics. If you haven’t already, submit a public comment before the May 4th deadline to fight for clean air!

A recent EDF analysis found that the FDA allows at least 25 cancer‑linked chemicals in our food, even though the law prohibits them. Tell the FDA to do its job and get cancer-causing chemicals out of our food now!
