Residents sound the alarm over dangers of potentially toxic gas

Last night, ABC News Nightline ran this terrific piece on ethylene oxide and highlighted the pain and struggle of impacted communities in Memphis and ours in Laredo.

The Climate Clock deadline shows how long we have left until our carbon budget runs out, given the amount of carbon we continue to emit globally.

We must take action to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions toward zero as quickly as possible within this critical time window for action.
