Our #PolluterOfTheMonth, EQT Corporation, says it’s “Net Zero.”
But that claim only covers a fraction of its pollution — not the gas it sells, not the leaks from its pipelines. And what about the methane that satellites keep catching above its sites?

But while they promise progress on the world stage, communities in TX are still living with the same old leaks, venting, and toxic air.
