Take a Stand for Public LandsPublic lands across the United States are at risk: President Donald Trump and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency want to sell them off to private interests.

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...
Earlier this year the Trump admin boasted it would quadruple Argentinian beef imports by executive order. “By importing Argentina’s beef to the U.S., this administration is exporting its disregard for the climate crisis." -Stephanie Feldstein @biologicaldiversity.org grist.org/food-and-agr...

Demand a U.S. Ban on These PoisonsEvery year more than 1 billion pounds of pesticides are used in the U.S. One-quarter of that total are so dangerous they've been banned in many other countries. Tell the EPA to ban pesticides that oth...act.biologicaldiversity.orgThe 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."
“This is the most widespread pesticide water contaminant in the United States. It’s an absolute joke to think that these mitigations are going to prevent serious harm to species that are on the brink of extinction.” - Nathan Donley @biologicaldiversity.org www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/c...
