CHINA IS PROMOTING CHEAP CLEAN ENERGY & THEIR ECONOMY IS 

PROSPERING! CHINA IS BUILDING ROADS & MAKING FRIENDS....

CHINA IS LEADING & THE U.S. NEEDS TO CATCH UP! 

DIRTY ENERGY AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION 

IS NOT THE SOLUTION!  

 

        

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Stop the Trump Administration from LEASING AWAY 84,405 ACRES of public lands to greedy polluters! >> Take immediate action before the May 9th deadline! Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda laid out a sinister plan to gut endangered species protections, shrink National Monuments, and erode public land conservation – all to pave the way for greedy polluters to profit by POISONING our air, water, and wildlife habitats. That plan is becoming reality. Here are just a few moves the Trump Administration has already attempted: Resurrected the “God Squad” – a federal committee that could potentially override endangered species protections in favor of fossil fuel projects Reversed a conservation rule that promoted ecosystem restoration on public lands Forgoing full environmental review for thousands of public lands leases to oil and gas companies Proposed a rule to remove protections for endangered species habitats Now, the Trump Administration has proposed leasing 84,405 acres of Wyoming public lands to the highest fossil fuel bidder – the LARGEST lease sale proposed in 2025 so far. You only have until May 9th to submit a public comment opposing this massive lease sale! Tell the Trump Administration: CANCEL the sale of 84,405 acres of public lands and stand up to greedy polluters! >> SIGN THE PETITION Drilling and fracking on public lands threatens nearby communities with TOXIC POLLUTION, which has been linked to serious health issues – from cancer to respiratory illnesses. Yet Donald Trump is moving forward with his “drill, baby, drill” agenda and prioritizing the profits of his Big Polluter buddies over the health of our communities and the planet. The good news is that we’ve already seen Donald Trump roll back unpopular policies due to substantial public outrage. That means your voice still matters – especially before the May 9th deadline for this Wyoming public lands lease sale! If enough concerned environmentalists like you stand up, we can help stop greedy polluters from scarring these precious public lands! Will you protect our public lands and communities from toxic pollution? Demand the Trump Administration STOP letting greedy polluters drill on public lands!

Friends of the Earth is fighting to protect vulnerable marine animals and the fragile ocean ecosystems that sustain them. But we’re up against Big Oil and Gas AND Big Cruise, and we’re falling dangerously short of the resources we need to fuel this fight. Please: Will you give $15 or more now – before our midnight deadline – to help hit our urgent $30,000 World Oceans Day goal? GIVE NOW AND PROTECT OUR OCEAN LIFE Do you remember Tahlequah? She is an orca mother of the Southern Resident pods who carried her dead calf’s body for weeks in a gut-wrenching tour of grief. Tahlequah’s loss has captured hearts around the world, but her family is STILL at risk.  Two more of Tahlequah’s beloved relatives are dead due to starvation caused by massive lack of fish, toxic pollution and devastating interference from the shipping industry. Now, there are only 75 orcas left in the Southern Resident pods, and they’re counting on YOUR help to survive.  The ONLY way to save these whales from extinction is to stop dangerous oil megaprojects and careless shipping practices in their tracks and secure permanent protections for the precious marine creatures we have left. Friends of the Earth is leading the charge to protect ocean life from deadly oil spills, habitat loss and the destruction of their fragile food webs. But as World Oceans Day draws to a close, we’re falling behind on our urgent $30,000 goal to power our efforts.  Please, time is running out before our midnight deadline: Will you join the fight and make a membership gift of $15 or more now to help hit our World Oceans Day goal, protect precious marine life and save our blue planet?
