Happy #EarthWeek2024! Let’s celebrate by supporting sustainable transportation options, not restricting them. Don’t let NJ lawmakers stop our environmental progress - say no to NJ Bill S2292/A3359 that will make it harder and more expensive for New Jerseyans to ride e-bikes.

A House bill would block protections for #whales, #wolves, #bats and more. The Senate must fix this.

December marked the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act, but the House isn't celebrating.

A $45 million program was rolled out on Wednesday to help NJ school districts replace diesel-powered buses with electric models. About 200 have been ordered so far, a small portion of the estimated 15,000 buses that run in NJ every school day.

As an environmental reporter in NJ, I spent years looking at air quality data, seeing it spike on high ozone days rarely getting close to 150. I never thought I would ever see the air quality index scores I have seen today. Absolutely stunning in the worst possible way.
