Petition to the Governor of New Jersey: A Three-Year Moratorium on New Data Centers
We urge Governor Sherill to enact a three-year statewide moratorium on the approval and construction of new large-scale data centers. This pause is necessary to evaluate the environmental, energy, and public health risks associated with the rapid expansion of this industry before irreversible decisions are made.
New Jersey’s Green Amendment
The Green Amendment would enshrine every individual’s right to clean air, pure water, healthy ecosystems, and a stable climate. Advocates are working to pass Senate Bill SCR 43 and Assembly Bill ACR 119 in the state legislature. If approved, the amendment would go to New Jersey voters for a final decision (on the ballot of a future general election). This amendment would elevate environmental rights to the same level as other fundamental human rights, such as freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. The Pinelands Alliance has been building momentum to move these bills forward in the NJ Legislature, so together we can turn that energy into lasting protections for our air, water, and communities.
Protect our Aquifer in Winslow Township
Sign the petition!
Winslow Township’s Mayor and the Town Council are seeking to overturn the rules that protect the Kirkwood Cohansey aquifer by supporting a lawsuit brought against the Pinelands Commission by Clayton Sand Mining Company. Clayton is challenging the Pinelands Commission’s rules protecting the aquifer. Please sign the petition to stop them from wasteful overuse of the water we all depend on!
The Kirkwood-Cohansey Aquifer is one of the essential life resources in South Jersey. It contains some of the purest water on the United States’ east coast and feeds the country’s cleanest rivers. This aquifer is what allows our homes, farms, and businesses to thrive. Without a local source of water from the aquifer, residents will struggle to find clean and affordable water for their households, farmers will lose crops, and local businesses will face hardship.
