Hello Reader, You probably already know someone who deserves this. The person who keeps showing up. Who files the records request, runs the air monitor, sits through the hearings and organizes the meeting after a long day. Most of them will never put their own name forward. That is where you come in. The Community Sentinel Award for Environmental Stewardship honors community leaders standing up to oil, gas and petrochemical harm. Halt the Harm Network co-hosts the award with our friends at FracTracker Alliance. Five honorees will be recognized on Nov. 12 in New Orleans, with in-person and virtual participation. Learn more about the award and past recipients at fractracker.org/sentinels

How Nominations WorkJust fill out a form and tell us a little bit about who they are and why their work matters. You do not need every detail because we'll follow up with questions. You can nominate anyone working at the community level on oil, gas or petrochemical issues. All the details are on the Sentinel Awards event page. Any questions, or want to run it by someone, just reply. Ryan Clover |

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? I hope their board members took note. As it happens, we just hosted a workshop on data center noise pollution, where I learned that a decibel reading is only part of the story. Continuous, low-frequency...
