🛢️There's a word for claiming your oil and gas extraction is clean and responsible while repeatedly polluting behind the scenes: greenwashing.

😡 That's what Exxon's takeover of New Mexico's beloved Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta really is.

🌧️ It's raining... oh wait, that is toxic fracking waste. An oil and gas waste facility in Loving, New Mexico blew out and rained toxic fracking waste onto a family, their pets, their lawn, and their home, burning their eyes and contaminating a nearby waterway. #LeakOfTheWeek #KeepItInTheGround

There have already been 415 cases of oil and gas spills contaminating freshwater in the Greater Chaco region - that we know of. Now the Trump administration wants more drilling in this sacred landscape. #LeakOfTheWeek #KeepItInTheGround #ProtectChaco

Hilcorp: 96 spills in 7 months. Sued by EPA, DOJ, multiple states. Settled $34M with feds. Corroded, leaking, polluting.

You may not know them…but they spill more methane than Exxon or ConocoPhillips.

👀 Stay tuned next week for more on Hilcorp (yes, it gets worse). #LeakOfTheWeek

🤬🤬Yep.. there are a helluva lot of abandoned wells in the US which leak methane and toxic waste.

When oil companies walk away, we are the ones who pay, with our tax dollars and our health.

The largest Native American reservation in the US is Navajo Nation, a sovereign nation located in the Four Corners region.

Home to oil and gas, there are many, many companies drilling on Navajo land - and you know what means. Spills. Lots of them.

Today's #LeakOfTheWeek is an ACTIVE spill happening right now in New Mexico's Permian Basin - at a well that should have been plugged and cleaned up years ago. Regulators MUST require companies to plug and clean up their leaking wells so pollution like this doesn't happen. https://loom.ly/-YYnPjQ

Drill, baby, drill? More like spill, baby, spill.

Did you hear that Trumpty Dumpty wants to slash protections for ancient sites in Chaco so his cronies can drill for oil and gas?

It's time to get the Frack Off Chaco and #KeepItInTheGround. #LeakOfTheWeek

🐄 This month, a cow caused a toxic waste spill on federal public land by rubbing against a valve on one of XTO's (Exxon's drilling arm in the Permian Basin) sites. Really?!

This is a huge problem not only in New Mexico, but also in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
Oil companies abandon old wells when they stop producing and never cap them, leaving to leaks of oil, water polluted with heavy metals.
