@PhilsCharities @MLB Pity they didn't get the required permits before installing this environmental disaster. The law is there for a reason. inquirer.com/news/philadelp…

@PhillyInquirer This sounds nice, but the real story is that the city is planning to lease the entire Welcome Center to the Fairmount Park Conservancy. Council authorized a lease sight unseen, with no requirement for any services to the public, whatsoever. docs.google.com/document/d/1G_…
Phila, PA & US governments — and foundations like @WilliamPennFdn — spend hundreds of millions to mitigate climate change and flooding. Why would they turn around and cut down more trees and clear more floodplain? It doesn’t make sense.
Philadelphia has asked the Pa. Dept of Environmental Protection for a permit to clear at least 38 more acres of the FDR Meadows and cut down hundreds of trees. 🕛Midnight TONIGHT is the deadline for public comment opposing the permit. Easy how-to: docs.google.com/document/d/1uI…

Full story and video from @UR_Ninja at unicornriot.ninja/2024/rally-to-…
PHILADELPHIA, PA — Several community and environmental groups rallied outside of City Hall Thursday morning to demand the City Council “ban artificial turf installation on city property including parks and recreation centers.” x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Thursday morning: Come out for a ban on ☠️ TOXIC TURF ☠️ in Philadelphia's parks! bit.ly/treesnotturf
The difference: No Philadelphia politicians are showing the courage to stand up to @CouncilmemberKJ the way these Florida Republicans (!) are standing up to Ron DeSantis.
@PhillyMayor Sound familiar? "Many noted the plans had been drawn up in secret, with no-bid contracts destined for mysteriously pre-chosen developers..." theguardian.com/us-news/articl…
Note to @PhillyMayor: Florida Gov Ron DeSantis is making you look bad. Even he knows when it's time to drop a plan to wreck a park. #savethemeadows #savefdrmeadows #treesnotturf miamiherald.com/news/local/env…
This Thursday: TREES NOT TURF rally to ban artificial turf in Philadelphia's parks! 🌳 🌳 🌳 🌳 🌳 🌳 🌳 🌳 🌳 🌳 With @CleanAirCouncil @CleanH2OPA @DelRiverkeeper Lenape Nation @RiverwaysCollab & @sunrisemvmt Info: bit.ly/treesnoturf #bantoxicturf
Call on Council: Ban this toxic turf now! Council President Kenyatta Johnson: 215-686-2070 @PhillyInquirer: drive.google.com/file/d/1kyCEo2…
Join us at Phila. City Hall on Sept 5 to demand Council: 🛑 ban toxic artificial turf in our parks 🛑 stop destruction & privatization of our green spaces Info actionnetwork.org/events/trees-n… With @CleanAirCouncil @CleanH2OPA @DelRiverkeeper Lenape Nation @RiverwaysCollab & @sunrisemvmt
