Today's webinar – Behind the "chemical recycling" curtain
|
Hello Reader, Plastics “chemical recycling” facilities are showing up in communities across the country. Most people never learn which hazardous chemicals sit on site, or how to find out. If you're facing this or any polluting industry, today's webinar with expert presenters will give you important insight into the power of public record requests. That information is public. You just have to know how to ask for it. Having the documented truth gives you power to push back against greenwashing, lies, and other PR strategies companies will use to sidestep accountability for dangerous pollution. Don't miss it!

Hi Reader, Last week, a group of community members from Spartanburg Co., South Carolina did something that made me chuckle. At a recent town hall meeting, they recreated the constant noise that people living near a hyperscale data center experience every single day. Sounds annoying, right?
