保护行动动态

美国佐治亚州奥吉奇河护水者（Ogeechee Riverkeeper）最初反对现代汽车的许可申请，对该工厂每日取用 660 万加仑水源可能危及当地饮用水安全表示担忧。美国监管机构认定现代汽车集团美国超级工厂（HMGMA）无需作出任何调整，并认为该项目不会对环境造成影响。然而，现代汽车佐治亚工厂于 10 月收到违规通知，因该市调查发现该工厂废水影响了生物处理流程。奥吉奇河护水者法律总监本・基尔希（Ben Kirsch）表示，他们将继续密切监督该许可，因为目前仍无法预知这一审批的后果。

美国加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥海岸护水者（San Diego Coastkeeper）近日与圣地亚哥县冲浪者基金会（Surfrider Foundation San Diego County）合作，在地球月期间发布了《2024 年海洋垃圾报告》。为表彰海岸护水者和冲浪者基金会组织 1.1 万余名志愿者从海滩和内陆水道清理超过 2.2 万磅垃圾的努力，他们邀请公众参加 5 月 10 日的海滩和河流联合清理活动。2024 年，他们开展了 243 场不同的清理活动，发现塑料碎片是最常见的垃圾类型，占收集垃圾总量的 25%。这一发现凸显了针对一次性塑料制品制定政策的紧迫性，因为这些物品往往最终流入海滩和水道。

美国华盛顿州斯波坎河护水者（Spokane Riverkeeper）在斯波坎河中检测到全氟和多氟烷基物质（PFAS，俗称 “永久化学物质”）。高浓度的这类人造化学物质与多种健康问题相关，包括癌症、心脏病、高胆固醇、甲状腺疾病和低出生体重。该组织在斯波坎废水处理厂附近的采样点检测到 PFAS 浓度为 1.7 万亿分之一，怀疑这些化学物质可能源自费尔柴尔德空军基地和斯波坎国际机场。根据联邦法规，饮用水中的 PFAS 含量不得超过 4 万亿分之一。斯波坎河护水者担心，受高浓度 PFAS 污染的鱼类可能进入当地水系，进而污染该地区的饮用水供应。

美国华盛顿州双港护水者（Twin Harbors Waterkeeper）正反对重新开放位于华盛顿州科斯莫波利斯的科斯莫特种纤维厂（Cosmo Specialty Fibers）。这家纸浆厂曾是当地主要收入来源，已关闭两年，导致该市预算紧张。目前，一名英国投资者正试图重启该厂，部分人认为若能妥善管理维修和费用问题，这将是一个经济机会。另一些人则反对重新开放，原因是该厂对环境的影响，包括对鲑鱼和水道的危害，以及其大量的温室气体排放。该厂还有长期违规记录，包括未支付费用、工业泄漏，以及拖欠华盛顿州生态部数十万的碳配额和许可费用。

孟加拉国护水者（Waterkeepers Bangladesh ）、“我们守护河流” 组织（Dhoriti Rokkhay Amra, DHORA）及其他多个环境保护和气候行动组织最近组织了一场全球气候罢工。气候活动人士、环保倡导者、社区组织者以及孟加拉国护水者的协调员共同参加了长达一小时的示威活动，要求立即实现气候正义。此次罢工是更大规模全球运动的一部分，旨在提高人们的意识并倡导全球气候正义。许多参与者手持标语牌和横幅，高呼口号，强调拥有宜居星球的权利和公平的气候政策。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT

Ogeechee Riverkeeper (Georgia, U.S.) initially opposed Hyundai’s permit, expressing concerns about the potential risks to the region’s drinking water from the plant’s usage of 6.6 million gallons daily. The U.S. regulatory agency determined that Hyundai Motor Group Megaplant America (HMGMA) did not require any changes and believes there will be no issues with the project's environmental impact. However, Hyundai's Georgia plant received a notice of violation in October due to the city's findings that wastewater from the HMGMA plant was affecting biological processes. Ben Kirsch, the legal director of Ogeechee, stated that they will continue to monitor the permit closely, as the consequences of this approval are still unknown.

San Diego Coastkeeper (California, U.S.), in collaboration with the Surfrider Foundation San Diego County, recently released their 2024 Marine Debris Report in celebration of Earth Month. To honor the efforts of Coastkeeper and Surfrider, who rallied over 11,000 volunteers to remove more than 22,000 pounds of trash from beaches and inland waterways, they invite the public to a joint beach and river cleanup on May 10th. In 2024, they conducted 243 different cleanup events, during which they discovered that plastic fragments were the most common type of debris collected, making up 25% of all trash gathered. This finding emphasizes the urgent need for policy initiatives targeting single-use plastics, as these items often end up on our beaches and waterways.

Spokane Riverkeeper (Washington, U.S.) has detected PFAS, commonly known as "forever chemicals," in the Spokane River. High levels of these man-made chemicals have been linked to various health issues, including cancer, heart disease, high cholesterol, thyroid disease, and low birth weight. The organization found PFAS at a concentration of 1.7 parts per trillion at sampling sites near Spokane's wastewater treatment plant, suspecting that the chemicals may have originated from Fairchild Air Force Base and Spokane International Airport. According to federal regulations, PFAS levels in drinking water should not exceed four parts per trillion. Spokane Riverkeeper is concerned that fish contaminated with high levels of PFAS may enter the local water system, potentially contaminating the area's drinking water supply.

Twin Harbors Waterkeeper (Washington, U.S.) is battling efforts to reopen Cosmo Specialty Fibers, a pulp mill in Cosmopolis, WA. Once a major source of local revenue, the mill has been closed for two years, straining the city’s budget. A British investor is now seeking to revive it, which some see as an economic opportunity—if repairs and bills are managed properly. Others oppose the reopening due to the mill’s environmental impacts, including harm to salmon and waterways, and its significant greenhouse gas emissions. The mill also has a long record of violations, including unpaid fees, industrial spills, and hundreds of thousands owed in carbon allowances and permitting costs to the Washington State Department of Ecology.

Waterkeepers Bangladesh (Bangladesh), Dhoriti Rokkhay Amra (DHORA), and several other environmental protection and climate action organizations recently organized a global climate strike. Climate activists, environmental advocates, community organizers, and the coordinators and Waterkeepers Bangladesh came together for an hour-long demonstration demanding urgent climate justice. This strike was part of a larger global movement to raise awareness and advocate for climate justice worldwide. Many participants held placards and banners while chanting slogans emphasizing the right to a livable planet and equitable climate policies.
