#ThanksTrump - by attacking clean energy, Americans have lost thousands of jobs and billions of dollars of investments that would have supported reliable, affordable, clean energy that keeps our climate safe.
Clean Tech Firms Have Canceled Dozens of U.S. Projects This Year
So far this year, clean tech firms have abandoned or scaled back close to $24 billion in new projects, from solar farms to battery plants to electric vehicle factories.

Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather, and when Americans faced major storms this summer, Trump showed up empty handed. #ThanksTrump, by denying disaster aid, you've left thousands of residents with damaged homes.

The EPA has protected our clean air and water for decades, but under Trump's leadership they've rolled back life-saving pollution limits, increasing cancer-causing pollution which puts our health and climate at risk. #ThanksTrump

Briefing: Reducing US Food Waste — Climate Changemakers
The United States throws away a lot of food. In fact, nearly 40% of the food we produce ends up in the landfill. Landfill environments prevent food from decomposing properly, causing food to rot and release methane.
