“From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, through gates of pearl streams in the countless host..." (William Walsham How, 1864) Today, on this #AllSaintsDay we remember and give thanks for all the faithful environmental heroes who have brought us with love thus far.

This year, we especially honor Tally Sweat who passed away in August. Tally was a great friend of GIPL and worked closely with us on the leadership team of @protect_georgia. She was a staunch advocate for Georgia wildlife and a dedicated public servant. 🖤

Fantastic news! This biomass plant in Telfair County was given permission by the Georgia EPD to DOUBLE its polluting emissions. Together with @selc_org and @GeorgiaIPL, we filed suit to challenge the permit, and as a result, the permit was revoked!
