NJ Declares Drought Warning: Tips for Water Conservation

Exposing Risks of Hydrogen Hubs in Drought-Prone Areas: Calling for Justice and Transparency
Waterspirit is ever-committed to educating communities about the environmental implications of hydrogen energy and the role of hydrogen hubs in the U.S. energy transition. Our ongoing concern about hydrogen hubs is that the continued use of fossil fuels and copious amounts of fresh water for hydrogen production would exacerbate environmental degradation in communities already burdened by pollution and drought. In this Environmental Health News double feature article, each of the potential areas across the land are represented. Waterspirit’s Public Policy & Justice Organizer, Rachel Dawn Davis, speaks from experience with the MACH2 Hydrogen Hub as to the failure of federal efforts to fully uphold Environmental Justice (EJ) principles, emphasizing the importance of transparent, inclusive decision-making in energy infrastructure planning.

Unprecedented Dry Spell and Declining Water Storage Supplies Prompt Virtual Public Hearing on Statewide Water Supply Drought Warning
In New Jersey, we are on the edge of a dry precipice and the state might declare an emergency any moment now. As the drought deepens, the calls of the land grow louder. Water, the sacred element of life, is calling to us. We must rise with the power of generations who understood: water is life, and without it, we cease to be.
How to Attend the Next Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission Board Meeting 11/14
When we raise our voices together, we call for a shift toward systems that honor the sanctity of water, land, and life itself—systems that work with nature to prevent flooding, protect our resources, and build resilient, thriving communities. Public comment is an act of spiritual Earth care, ensuring that the decisions made today do not endanger future generations or the sacred balance of our ecosystems. Join us on Thursday, November 14th at 12:00PM ET via zoom for the next opportunity to ask PVSC Commissioners to re-think the project and start again with public health and renewable energy alternatives in mind.
