"description": "Billions of animals are crammed onto factory farms — producing enormous amounts of waste and climate-warming methane emissions. In fact, animal agriculture is responsible for 36 percent of all U.S. methane emissions, more than any other sector. The industrial meat and dairy industry has been allowed to pollute our environment and rake in profits without repercussions. But now, you have an opportunity to stop this. Methane emissions from industrial meat and dairy farms are increasingly contributing to the climate catastrophe and an alarming number of devastating fires, floods, and extreme weather events taking place worldwide. Factory farms are also a major polluter of local communities, particularly communities of color. Despite the well-documented impacts of factory farms on people and the planet, the EPA has refused to issue regulations to reign in this highly polluting industry. President Biden has signed Executive Orders on tackling the climate crisis and placing environmental justice at the center of national climate policy. To make good on these promises, the EPA must crack down on factory farming and protect people, animals, and the planet. Mega meat and dairy corporations are fighting hard to keep the status quo with no accountability. It’s up to people like you to speak up. Tell the EPA to protect people and our planet by treating factory farms like the toxic polluters they are!",
