ATNJ Action Together New Jersey

Did you know that roughly one in three New Jersey residents live within a half-mile of a mega-warehouse? Warehouses already take up 527 million square feet in our small, densely developed state — up 35% from just 20 years ago. And the biggest problem faced by communities living near mega-warehouses is the dramatic increase in diesel truck traffic. New Jersey warehouses generate at least 380,000 truck trips every day, every single one of which either begins or ends at one of these facilities. https://lnkd.in/eCrRGhyy

"New Jersey is threatened by climate change impacts, especially rising sea levels, more intense and frequent storm events, flooding, and increasing temperature." https://lnkd.in/eSnWpJxZ

The trucking industry is pushing a bill that would delay the implementation of clean trucks for another two years! With this extreme weather and *cough cough* our congested roads, we need clean trucks now. Please take this action: https://lnkd.in/gSRWzGH4

Let's anact Advanced Clean Trucks now. We cannot wait. "North Jersey counties near New York City and South Jersey counties near Philadelphia had enough smog days each year to rank among the worst metropolitan areas." https://lnkd.in/e57e6BAa

We are not used to wildfires in the Northeast. Fossil fuels continue to heat up our planet and there will be no place to escape the heated Earth. Q: What do these wildfires now occurring in the Northeast tell us about the ongoing struggle against climate change A: Hilary Howard: That it's completely unpredictable. The Northeast over the last 10 years has been known for its historic flooding and its general saturation of the earth. And now we're dealing with a parched and in some areas, scorched earth situation. And it's a roll of the dice as to which one it will be at this point. https://lnkd.in/e97CW_tT
