Nearly 70,000 children across Pennsylvania are at risk of daily exposure to toxic diesel pollution in the places they live, learn, and play, according to a new report by the Clean Trucks Pennsylvania Coalition.

This virtual briefing will feature an expert panel discussing the report’s key findings and the urgent actions needed to protect our communities.

Luxury vinyl sounds fancy—until you learn it’s

Luxury vinyl sounds fancy—until you learn it’s made with cancer-causing chemicals.

From production to disposal, PVC plastic poisons people and the planet. It’s used in building materials like flooring and siding—and is often full of phthalates, flame retardants, and microplastics.

This week, our friends at @ToxicFreeFuture are turning up the heat at Home Depot’s shareholder meeting. Investors are voting on a resolution to reduce plastic pollution—and the pressure is on.

👉 Tell Home Depot: Break up with poison plastic and lead the way to safer, healthier alternatives.
