The legal amount of pollution any farm can release without a federal permit is zero. We're fighting to hold Vorsteveld accountable for discharging toxic chemicals into Vermont waterways and putting our communities at risk.

That's why today, alongside @VNRCorg we filed a lawsuit against Vorsteveld, LLP for federal Clean Water Act violations.

LAWSUIT FILED: No one should have to worry that a major agricultural operation is discharging pollutants that threaten their water - but that's what many neighbors of a massive dairy operation in Vermont do every day.

Last, the adorable. After popping up off the coast of Ireland last year, a right whale has followed many Irish folks before them and migrated across the pond to Boston. We hope the newcomer sticks around!

Now, the bad. Unfortunately, researchers discovered a three-year-old right whale, “Division,” dangerously entangled in fishing gear. A brave rescue operation removed some of the gear, and scientists hope that Division will free himself of the rest.

First, the good. We have two new right whale babies 🎉 With only around 384 right whales left, every baby would be a cause for celebration even if they weren’t so darn cute.

The Good, the Bad, and the Adorable: We’ve got some right whale updates for you! 🐳
