Today is #NationalAvocadoDay and we'd like you to help us tell Trader Joe's to commit to monarch-safe avocados! 👉 Print and drop this card off at a #TraderJoes near you to help protect monarch butterflies. https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/action/trader-joes-monarch-safe-avocados
Join the 8th Global Action Hub on Waste Methane and Environmental Justice meeting to know more about #zerowaste stories on the ground featuring @biologicaldiversity.org Senior Campaigner Kelley Dennings: July 23, 2026 - 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET Register at tinyurl.com/globalactionhub8
The cost of grazing public lands is high for American taxpayers, but it’s higher still for endangered species that are on the edge of extinction. www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/pub...
The reality is that beef has a big impact on the planet no matter where it’s grown. Cattle production in the U.S. is a key threat to many vulnerable species of wildlife, especially in the arid West. www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/pop...
ICYMI: Listen in as Senior Campaigner, Kelley Dennings, gives an overview of our sexual and reproductive health emergency preparedness kits during the EnviroNatal Symposium, which addresses how climate change affects perinatal and maternal health. https://vimeo.com/1185332249/5211b12358
A new Center analysis found that only three states (California, Hawai`i & Virginia) consider both sustainability and the climate harm from meat production in their dietary guidance -> https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/population_and_sustainability/pdfs/dietary-state-scorecard-analysis.pdf
We recently reviewed 14 climate plans from colleges + universities across the U.S. to learn if the disparate harms and underlying causes of the climate crisis were included. Read our full report: https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/population_and_sustainability/population/campus_cap_report
The EPA has found harmful levels of atrazine in more than 11,000 U.S. watersheds (roughly 250 million acres), The extensive contamination of lakes, rivers, and streams has led to atrazine contaminating the drinking water of 40 million Americans. www.biologicaldiversity.org/campaigns/pe...
Atrazine is primarily used on corn but not to feed people. "40%of domestic corn use is for livestock feed, and some portion of the remainder is turned into high fructose corn syrup, glucose, dextrose, & corn oil used in the ultra-processed foods this administration has called on Americans to avoid."
The Trump U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has finalized a review of atrazine that concludes the potent, cancer-linked endocrine disruptor does not pose an extinction risk to any threatened or endangered animals or plants. ⬇️
Did you know May is "Sex Ed for All Month"? Everyone deserves access to sex ed that’s accurate, inclusive, and empowering. When people have access to comprehensive sex ed, they can make more informed decisions about their health and relationships. sexeducationcollaborative.org/sex-ed-all-m...
🏈 On #SuperBowlSunday more people in the U.S. eat avocados than any other day. To produce all that guac, the avocado industry is scarfing up swaths of Mexican forest, affecting millions of monarch butterflies and imperiled wildlife. #StopKillerGuac act.biologicaldiversity.org/YEwEYAJnIkiBE3WLk6Nh3A2
Pregnancy and childbirth don’t stop just because a disaster hits. But the Trump administration wants to expand the #GlobalGagRule and cause more maternal mortality and death. Let the world know: We can’t let Trump’s policy threaten lives and disrupt access to lifesaving care.
The expanded #GlobalGagRule comes from the Project 2025 playbook. This admin wants control, and it's weaponizing U.S. foreign aid to force extreme anti-choice + anti-rights ideologies on communities around the world, pushing governments and orgs to comply or lose U.S. funding.
The Trump administration just announced the most extreme version of the #GlobalGagRule in history. It will restrict every form of U.S. foreign assistance and put extreme ideology ahead of people’s rights and safety.
“By failing to include sexual and reproductive health on emergency preparedness checklists states are leaving residents vulnerable to life-changing consequences like unintended pregnancies, preventable diseases & potentially deadly birthing complications.” www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/pop...
A new report released by @biologicaldiversity.org found that sexual and reproductive health items are left off all but two state emergency preparedness checklists, leaving residents in the dark when it comes to protecting their sexual health. www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/pop...
“Our healthy and sustainable model provides the evidence-based guidance people need to make well-informed dietary choices that are better for themselves, their families and the planet.” - Leah Kelly, food and agriculture policy specialist www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/pop...
The @biologicaldiversity.org and @cspinet.org released A Model for Healthy and Sustainable Dietary Guidelines for Americans showing what the Trump admin’s nutritional recommendations would look like if they had actually followed scientific consensus. www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/pop...

“Reuse is a chance to engage worker-owned businesses in transforming waste management in a way that puts people first, keeps costs low, protects the environment, and supports Main Street instead of Wall Street.” -Kelley Dennings, Senior Campaigner, @biologicaldiversity.org
Of the 40 million tons of plastic waste generated in the U.S. in 2021, only 5% to 6% — or about 2 million tons — was recycled. Instead, more Americans are rejecting single-use plastic and embracing reusable alternatives for packaging, foodware, and shipping. www.unep.org/plastic-poll...
Reuse delivers meaningful economic benefits like reducing litter cleanup costs while also creating jobs. Reuse programs can generate more than 30 times more jobs than disposal facilities, which is more than double the number created by recycling. upstreamsolutions.org/reuse-vs-sin...
