“There are so few right whales left that every death brings this species closer to extinction,” said Erica Fuller, a senior attorney for the Conservation Law Foundation.
Uneaten food takes up valuable space in landfills and produces climate-damaging methane when left to rot.
CLF is fighting to protect the invaluable habitat, biodiversity, and unique marine life of the Canyons and Seamounts National Monument.
Don’t believe the disinformation. We can develop offshore wind and meet our renewable energy goals while protecting the marine environment.
“There are so few right whales left that every death brings this species closer to extinction,” said CLF Senior Attorney Erica Fuller. “This calf isn’t even two months old and yet it’s not expected to live because the federal government has delayed meaningful action for more than a decade. NOAA must publish its final rule immediately and protect this majestic species before it disappears from our oceans forever.”
Regardless of how we dispose of it, plastic will not biodegrade. Here’s what that means for our communities and environment.
In the U.S. alone, we send millions of tons of food waste to landfills each year, where that waste produces methane emissions rivaling those from industrial sources.
“This is a historic moment that’s been years in the making,” said CLF President Bradley Campbell. “It’s proof positive that New England’s transition away from polluting fossil fuels and towards clean, renewable energy is underway in earnest. We must now quadruple the rate of clean energy deployment, and New England is where it can be done responsibly.”
Britteny Jenkins, CLF’s Vice President for the Environmental Justice Program shares her journey and goals for our region. She will lead our transportation, climate justice, and zero waste efforts.
Microgrids will provide communities with energy independence, resilience, and security in the face of extreme weather.
