A deeply concerning threat to our waterways. #rivers #cleanwater
American Rivers is announcing its disapproval of the EPA’s new proposed definition of the WOTUS provision of the Clean Water Act.

Thanks for sharing @littlegreenbooks.bsky.social
Undammed by @taralohan.bsky.social explores the effects of the thousands of dams in the USA, and how removing them + restoring rivers is a huge boon to environment, safety, and human needs. A hopeful account of a nature restoration movement that's growing worldwide!
