THE CLIMATE MOVEMENT
NEWSLETTER & ACTION TOOLKIT


FACT CHECK
Scientists want to shape up exactly how the government reviews scientific facts. SIGN THE LETTER to urge federal agencies to implement this framework for their practices, which includes public comment.
BACK TO SCHOOL
The Sunrise Movement is bringing the Green New Deal into schools, with plans to fix buildings and buses, create pathways to green jobs, and ensure schools have a plan for when climate disaster strikes. LEARN MORE HERE.
#CREATECOP28
COP28 is calling all creatives from all backgrounds and locales to submit work to be considered for the next Climate Action Summit. SUBMIT YOUR WORK in any medium to bring awareness to the issue of your choice.
FAST FORWARD, FERC!
We need clean energy fast, but we don’t have enough transmission lines to meet the demand. Urge the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to address the backlog and SPEED IT UP.
KEEP MARCHIN’
The March to End Fossil Fuels had an incredible turnout, but now we must make our demands actually met. SIGN THIS PETITION to tell President Biden to stop approving fossil fuel projects and expansion.
BAN PRIVATE JETS
Private jets are 14 times more polluting than regular commercial planes. SIGN THE PETITION to demand this super rich privilege be banned in the U.K. Maybe this will be an incentive for the U.S. to do the same.
CLEAN UP COSTCO
Costco is the third largest retailer in the U.S. and it also has a credit card partnership with Citi, the world’s second largest funder of fossil fuels. TELL COSTCO to demand Citi stop financing fossil fuel expansion — or else switch to a cleaner credit card.

Climate science can be overwhelming. Here’s your easy-to-share highlight reel.
MONSTER FRACKS

Clean water aquifers in Texas are being sucked dry but not for drinking water. Instead, fracking companies are playing vampire and draining freshwater resources for gas exploration.

MASKED IN MYCELIUM

Scientists are now growing mycelium, the fungal root network, into fire-retardant sheets to provide a safer, nontoxic alternative to asbestos and other chemicals in protection of buildings.

ANCIENT AGRICULTURE

A new study reveals that ancient Amazonians locked away thousands of tons of carbon that have remained in the ground for centuries. How have they done it?

BRING ON THE BIOCHAR

This climate technology is shovel ready, but can it scale up? See how this potentially commercially viable solution captures carbon whilst adding nutrients to the soil, and it’s as old as time.

BERRY RESILIENT

Have you heard of plant-breeders? These farmers are developing fruits and vegetables that are less susceptible to climate change with an aim to secure reliable crops for our future.

WILDFIRE AMBUSH

Since 2000, the U.S. has made significant improvements in air quality from the worst levels. But now wildfire smoke is essentially bringing us back in time.

CEMENT CUTS

We have all heard about clean energy, but what about clean concrete? This start-up hopes to replace the main carbon-intensive ingredient with something more efficient.

SEEING IS BELIEVING

Almost all Americans are dealing with extreme weather events this year, and now, over 60 percent are blaming climate change. See the survey results here.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE TURBINE

Norway develops one of the largest offshore wind farms. But something is different about these wind turbines… they float.


Here’s what it looks like when people show up, voices ring loud and leaders act for the sake of the planet.
CLIMATE JUSTICE SQUARED

A Minnesota judge dismissed charges against Line 3 pipeline protestors in a rare but pivotal step for climate justice. Will this case set a precedent?

LAND RECLAMATION

The justices of Brazil’s Supreme Court voted against a legal framework that would have made it impossible for Indigenous tribal leaders to reclaim traditional land.

FUTURE PLANNING

After a battle with 25 Republican attorneys general, it was ruled that environmental impacts cannot be blocked from consideration in future retirement investment decisions. We can consider this a victory.

AHOY TREATY

Nearly 70 countries have signed a first-ever treaty on protecting the international high seas at the UN. This is a step forward in protecting threatened ecosystems vital to the planet.

BIKING ON A BUDGET

On a budget but tired of walking? Washington D.C. just made electric bikes more affordable with vouchers for low income residents.

LIL' CLIMATE CHAMPS

With a lack of consistent climate education in schools, at least children’s TV is tackling the topic! Experts say these shows help kids understand a difficult subject… but also their parents too.

A BRIGHT FUTURE

The largest solar panel maker in the U.S has broken ground in Louisiana, creating over 700 jobs and being a great investment for the climate’s future.

DIRT CHEAP CLEAN ENERGY

Solar and battery storage prices have dropped almost 90% in the last decade. This drop could provide the world’s energy needs at cost-effective levels by 2050.

AN UNAMBITIOUS SUMMIT

The first ever UN Climate Ambition Summit was held in New York last week, but it didn’t yield the kind of monumental action that its name implied. See what went wrong here.

FOSSIL FUEL TREATY

Should fossil fuels be treated as dangerous as nuclear weapons? The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty aims to do just that. See how it might work here.

WRAP ON PLASTICS

Michael Bloomberg is taking on plastics. Learn about the advocacy group Beyond Petrochemicals that’s working to shut down new plastic manufacturing.

LIQUIFIED NO GOOD

A gigantic fossil fuel gas project could soon be built on the Louisiana coast. Will the Biden Administration align with their promises, or approve it instead?

HUMANS’ RIGHT

Is a stable climate a human right? See why the debate has moved from discourse to the courtroom.

NOT LOVIN’ IT

Some of the world’s largest food companies made big climate pledges, but it looks like they bit off more than they could chew. See why they are heading in the wrong direction.

BAD XAMPLE

Which social media company is the absolute worst at fighting climate misinformation? The answer may not shock you.

SALTY WATER

New Orleans is quickly facing a drinking water crisis as saltwater pours in from the Gulf of Mexico. This wouldn’t happen if the Mississippi River wasn’t already facing unprecedented low levels. See the connection here.

MONUMENTAL WASTE

A New York state landfill almost as tall as the Statue of Liberty was set to close in 2025, but now its owners want to expand by 47 acres instead. Can it be stopped?
