“The SCOTUS decision in the Sackett case has been published. Not a good day for wetlands, clean water, or public health.

"Wetlands that are separate from traditional navigable waters cannot be considered part of those waters, even if they are located nearby.”

"In sum, we hold that the CWA extends to only those “wetlands with a continuous surface connection to bodies that are ‘waters of the United States’ in their own right,” so that they are “indistinguishable” from those waters."” via National Association of Wetland Managers

Philadelphia has 20,000 homes that still have lead service pipes. Biden’s infrastructure plan will replace only 160 of them.

That’s not even a 1% lead pipe replacement.

Just because it's raining doesn't mean we should be dumping sewage into our rivers! The UK must prioritize investing in infrastructure to prevent these harmful discharges and protect our environment.
