Court puts the freeze on dangerous Arctic drilling plan

Big Oil attempted to refreeze the Arctic tundra so it can drill for oil. The project would have produced half a billion barrels of oil, jeopardized the health and traditional practices of nearby Indigenous communities, and threatened imperiled species like polar bears and caribou.

Ironbound unyielding

A toxic trash incinerator in this New Jersey neighborhood racked up some 800 violations for exceeding pollution limits or failing necessary safety measures. So, when the company initially claimed the cotton candy-colored smoke being spewed didn’t pose any health risks, Ironbound residents knew better than to believe them.
