@peer.orgFrom fighting to keep public lands out of the data center business to challenging efforts to waive environmental reviews for orbital data centers, here's how PEER is fighting back.
@peer.orgPEER has obtained documents that raise serious questions about Freedom 250 and the questionable practices of its financial sponsor, the National Park Foundation. Congress should step in with oversight.
@peer.orgThe Trump administration is reportedly considering transferring more than 17,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management land for at least 12 proposed data centers. We're urging Congress to stop it.
@peer.orgThe Department of the Interior appears to be preparing for another major reorganization, and it has provided little public information about what will change or why.
@peer.orgFederal officials can wrongfully withhold public records—but who holds them accountable? PEER found that the Office of Special Counsel has never used its authority to pursue discipline for FOIA violations since 1979. That needs to change.
@peer.orgPEER has filed a FOIA lawsuit against the USFS over the agency's use of NDAs for public employees. This NDA policy fails to include legally required whistle blower protection provisions, a violation of federal law.
@peer.orgThe Trump administration is attacking our national forests from every direction. Western Lands and Rocky Mountain Advocate Chandra Rosenthal breaks down how PEER is fighting to protect our forests, from defending roadless forests to standing up for forest science.
@peer.orgEPA admitted that two of the most widely-used forms of “forever chemicals” are still being manufactured and imported in the U.S. This admission comes In response to a PEER complaint.
@peer.orgA USDA plan would push national forests toward more off-road and motorized traffic while removing the standards that protect wildlife, water, and other forest users. PEER and Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics submitted comments opposing the plan.
@peer.orgWe're excited to welcome Isabelle Dietz as PEER's Staff Counsel!
Isabelle brings litigation experience and a demonstrated commitment to public service. Prior to joining PEER, she served as a trial attorney for the Department of Justice’s Tax Division.
@peer.orgUnder Lee Zeldin’s leadership, EPA has instituted a culture of fear, destroyed its science and environmental programs, and betrayed its mission.
From defending fired EPA staff to fighting PFAS pollution in court, learn how PEER is fighting back.
@peer.orgEPA refused a request from PEER and the Free Information Group (FIG) seeking its Final Impact Assessments for its use of high-impact AI tools, along with other information on its use of AI in its chemicals program. PEER and FIG are now appealing that decision.
@peer.orgEPA is calling its addition of microplastics to the official “Contaminant Candidate List” a "historic action." But here's the problem: not one of the more than 200 chemicals EPA has placed on the list since 1998 are currently regulated.
@peer.orgThe FAA is proposing to waive all major environmental protection requirements for commercial space launches and other activities. PEER joined a group of environmental and scientific organizations, represented by Earthjustice, in calling on the FAA to reject this proposal.
@peer.orgOpened 49 years ago, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System has already been operating 19 years past its projected life expectancy. Now the Trump administration wants to renew its right-of-way for another 30 years, and the public only has 15 days to comment.
@peer.orgWe've filed comments calling on the Office of Management and Budget to withdraw its proposed overhaul of the federal grantmaking system, warning that the rule would institutionalize political cronyism, destroy American science, and threaten the separation of powers.
