In August 2023, the EPA denied additional protections to keep our waterways safe from the pollution that originate with factory farms. Factory farms operate like sewerless cities, generating unsustainable amounts of waste that all too often contaminates drinking water with cancer-causing nitrates, floods homes with waste during storms and natural disasters, and renders water recreation unsafe.

All told, factory farm pollution threatens or impairs over 14,000 miles of rivers and streams and more than 90,000 acres of lakes and ponds nationwide. Bear in mind that fewer than one third of the country’s largest 21,000+ largest factory farms have National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits.

1.3 million tons of radioactive waste water from the Fukushima nuclear meltdown is starting to be released into the Pacific Ocean. The plant was destroyed in a 2011 earthquake and massive tsunami, and contaminated water used to flood the nuclear reactors has been accumulating ever since. While the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog says the discharge will have a negligible radiological impact to people and the environment, there is still concern.
