The Trump EPA is trying to eliminate critical clean air rules that guard Americans from dangerously poor air quality and preventable health issues.

CalEPA Secretary Yana Garcia lays out why California will keep fighting to protect the air we all breathe.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social now would be a good time to send CalOSHA and CalEPA inspectors to all Spacex, Tesla, Boring company, and nuralink facilities .

CalEPA is well aware. They fixed their dumb rule to account for that after having to reckon for the asbestos content of our gypsum in drywall.

4/ Chiquita Canyon Landfill is one of the country’s largest waste sites. In 2022, according to CalEPA, buried pockets of waste at the landfill started climbing to broiling temperatures well above safety standards

Senate Republicans are trying to illegally wipe out California’s clean air rules — the same rules that have reduced pollution and kept generations of Californians healthy.

They’re selling out America’s economic dominance to China and Making America Smoggy Again.

The California Jobs First Economic Blueprint is the result of collaboration between nine state agencies to create a vision for California’s economy.

We’re grateful to the Jobs First Council — the innovators who shaped a plan focused on job creation, equity, and innovation.

like i've yet to see anyone in this literature even mention battery recycling, an active area of research and policymaking that seems very relevant to their ideas and yet... calepa.ca.gov/lithium-ion-...

Feeling fairly secure in my ability to reach the top of the leaderboards at my workplace for May is Bike Month. I will never be able to compete w a lot of the sickos who work at CalEPA and Caltrans though.

Not equivalent, but CalEPA i believe is hiring.

One of California’s larger public employee unions is pushing legislation to make remote work a permanent option for state workers as the clock ticks down on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s July 1 mandate for most employees to be in the office four days a week. bit.ly/4qrXO3F

Sounds like there were around a thousand state scientists picketing outside CalEPA HQ today. Tomorrow I’ll join them for a shift.

Apple’s annual SEC reports include the quantity of corporate haz waste Apple sends to landfills each year. CalEPA reports on the total amount of haz waste transported from the facility each year. 3250 Scott is the source of ~30% of Apple’s total global corporate hazardous waste.

Thank you again, CalEPA for your tireless efforts to help Angelenos!

Had a HUGE turnout at the CalEPA Earth Day event today (it's mostly for kids). Kids eager to learn, see some bugs, all that jazz.

Still befuddled about the guy who showed up in a red MAGA hat. I assume his intent was to project an aura of "I'm a hateful piece of shit."

This fight is far from over, but we’re one step closer to protecting our community’s health and safety.

Thank you to CalEPA and DTSC for stepping in and taking urgent action to hold the landfill accountable.

UC Berkeley research found when permitting uncertainty affects urban and exurban projects equally, developers choose to build on cheaper farmland where lower costs offset delays. The result: increased driving miles, and California missing its mandated climate goals.

in the fancy-pants State Board hearing room at the Sacramento CalEPA HQ (which I have never sat in). I was gonna put on a cute outfit and everything.

And now the meeting is going to be held largely remotely, with the option to participate in person at the RB5 offices in Rancho Cordova.
