  • Trump's EPA Weakens Justification for Life-Saving Mercury Pollution Rule

    May 7, 2020

    Reprinted with permission from Ecowatch As many Americans fight for their lives in the midst of a respiratory pandemic, the Trump administration Thursday axed the justification for a mercury pollution rule that saves more than 10,000 lives and prevents as many as 130,000 asthma attacks each year. The new rollback leaves mercury emission standards in place for now, but changes how their benefits are calculated so that the economic cost takes precedence over public health gains, The New York Times reported. The move provides a legal opening to...

Clouds of mosquitoes suck the fun out of camping or canoeing, and it’s no picnic for those who work outdoors, either. However, just one bite from a deer (black-legged) tick can put you out of commission for the whole season – maybe longer. As recently as a decade ago in northern NY State and southern Ontario it was unusual to find deer ticks on you even after a long day outdoors. Tec...

    The Navajo Nation has more than 250,000 members and spans over 27,000 square miles across three states - northern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico and southern Utah. The Navajo Nation has a shortage of running water. In many households, the only source of water is to haul it in, bottle by bottle or barrel by barrel, from a communal supply point and at least 15% of Navajo Nation homes have no running water at all, according to the official tribal tally, but the real number may be 40% to 50%.
