From the mountains to the sea, everyone in our state and beyond has the right to breathe clean, healthy air. Together, we can fight for this right and make a difference. So, join us by taking action in any way you can.
Nobody should have to live with pig feces or urine in their air and drinking water. Yet this has become an unfortunate reality near industrial-scale hog farms. Factory farms can leak untreated pig waste into the surrounding environment, posing huge health risks for nearby communities. And these operations are heavily concentrated near communities of color in eastern North Carolina, fueling an environmental justice crisis.
Contact your state leaders and demand stronger protections for our air, water, and community health against hog farm pollution.
If government representatives don’t know that climate change and air pollution issues are important to North Carolinians, they don’t know to prioritize it in the legislature. Tell your representatives that slowing climate change and fighting for cleaner air is important to you and to take action where they can on these issues to protect our planet.
Improving our environment will require all of us working together. Every action, big or small, makes a difference. Join us in fighting climate change with these daily actions. Together, we can do it!
