Yesterday I was honored to join Senator Alex Padilla, Carbon Mapper, and residents impacted by landfill pollution for a press briefing on the EPA's opportunity to slash methane emissions and protect communities through updated standards. We need federal action to achieve methane reductions quickly and at scale. We’re excited the EPA is already at work on an update to its landfill standards, and we encourage the agency to move swiftly to embrace the latest best practices and technologies to control landfill methane emissions. Methane pollution from landfills not only heats the planet but also has very real health impacts on surrounding communities. Thank you Senator Padilla for your leadership in joining methane experts and frontline residents to emphasize the need for federal action to #CutMethane.
