Many retired persons are also civically engaged. Here's how to tell #Congress to stop #sewage pollution and make our beaches #safe4swimming.

Stormwater runoff and sewage overflows are contaminating our beaches and putting swimmers' health at risk.

Many older Americans enjoy a great day at the #beach. But sometimes nasty bacteria means the water is not #safe4swimming as @AARP explains.

Yet all too often, America's beautiful #beaches are polluted with nasty bacteria. Our #Safe4Swimming report shows which beaches had frequent pathogen problems - including in #Alabama. @MobileBaykeeper @AlabamaRivers
As Americans flock to their favorite #beach this weekend, I'm reminded of what @FrankLuntz told us more than 20 years ago: "Young and old, Democrat AND Republican, the demand for clean water is universal."

So why is the @HouseAppropsGOP committee proposing to cut funding for the Clean Water SRF by 26%? #waterinfrastructure @thewaterloop @NACWA @sascampaigns

Washington, D.C. – Today, the House Appropriations Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee met to consider its Fiscal Year 2026 bill. The measure was approved by the Subcommittee.

So it makes no sense to cut funding for the clean #water state revolving fund. See @HouseAppropsGOP bill at page 88 -

Thx @MatthewCappucci. This is a perfect example of why we need to invest in green infrastructure that absorbs, heavy rainfall and prevents flooding.
This is what a quick 4-6 inches in 2 hours will do, particularly when storms stall over heavily paved-over regions with impermeable surfaces. Locally significant urban flooding continues on the north side of D.C.; not a great night to drive around.

America's beaches are some of our favorite places to relax ... when the water is safe. Where is water pollution harming our ability to enjoy the beach? And what can we do to stop it?

Yet nasty bacteria still flows from our sewers to our #beaches - as our new #Safe4Swimming report shows.

There is another crucial reason to celebrate the end of this case: Exxon and its supporters were urging the Court to dramatically curtail the ability of citizens to enforce our environmental laws when public officials refuse to do so. #SCOTUS declined the invitation.
It's finally over. After 15 years, and many wins at the district and circuit level, today SCOTUS rejected Exxon's appeal and the company will finally be held accountable for thousands of air pollution violations at its Baytown complex.

Company sends toxic wastewater to a muncipal plant, and then their chemicals wind up in our #rivers ? You might say that's a real PET peeve of mine. @selc_org @circleofblue @EnvironmentNC

Environmentalists are suing to stop the flow of 1,4-dioxane into the drinking water supply, which one local water utility found at concentrations 17 times higher than the EPA’s health advisory goal.

150 million acres of America's crops are planted with pesticide coated-seeds that are killing bees. Two states have said enough is enough.

“We know that farmers apply too much nitrogen fertilizer to their corn. What the corn can’t use is the surplus, and that doesn’t go off into the Milky Way. It ends up in our rivers and our lakes.” - @RiverRaccoon author of Swine Republic.

High nitrate pollution in #Iowa rivers again - with impacts from Des Moines #drinkingwater all the way to the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico.

It’s a first for the Central Iowa Water Works, which is worried about maintaining compliance with EPA nitrate standards.
