NEWSLETTER & ACTION TOOLKIT


SUPPORT THE SANCTUARY
Help support the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary campaign! TELL NOAA you support the Tribal Council's Sanctuary letter to protect ocean biodiversity and advance environmental justice through collaborative ocean management.
MAKE POLLUTERS PAY
Big Oil has known for decades that their pollution was leading to catastrophic climate change but instead of warning the public, they spent billions to embark on a massive disinformation campaign. SIGN YOUR NAME and tell your State Attorney General to hold Big Oil accountable for their climate crimes.
CARBON CASHBACK
A bill in the U.S. House of Representatives would tax polluters for their carbon emissions. EMAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE to support Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. When order is restored in the House, this might get traction!
STOP ROSEBANK
A new Rosebank oil project was approved by the U.K. government last week, but climate activists are still contesting it. TAKE THE PLEDGE to support the fight to Stop Rosebank and demand the approval be withdrawn.
HEAT STANDARD
Miami-Dade county residents are fighting for heat standards in the region, as outdoor workers are 35x more likely to die from extreme heat. PROTECT WORKERS by writing to the County Commissioner to push for life-saving heat protections.

Climate science can be overwhelming. Here’s your easy-to-share highlight reel.
WETTER THAN EVER

Scientists have determined that New York’s recent deluge was significantly boosted by a warming climate, as hot air can hold more moisture than cool air. So how much worse was it?

GRAVEYARD SMASH

It’s spooky season and food waste is as scary as ever. More than one billion pounds of pumpkins rot in landfills every year, but something can be done.

SPONGE CITIES

Concrete doesn’t do much to help with flooding. But cities could be more resilient with a revolutionary new concept: Sponge Cities. Find out what they are and why they are a growing movement.

MAPPING OUT THE FUTURE

Do you wonder how climate change will affect you? This new tool allows you to see the exact dangers your neighborhood faces. Check it out here … if you’re brave enough.

PECKISH FOR PLASTIC

Nearly two decades ago scientists found a microbe munching plastic in a landfill. After twenty years of research they now have big plans for this bacteria and think it may just fix our waste crisis. See what the plan is here.

ROCK ON

Standard agricultural practices are stripping nutrients from the ground and soil health is at an all-time low. Now farmers are looking toward ancient solutions, and they’re hot.

EXTINGUISHING MORE THAN FIRES

Wildfire season could soon be year round, but our solution shouldn’t be as bad as the problem itself. See how chemicals used to put out these fires may also be putting out already endangered aquatic life.

TIRE-D OF THIS

Studies show that the majority of microplastics in the ocean come from one common source. And they go round and round.

STARVING PLANKTON

Microscopic zooplankton make up a crucial part of the arctic ecosystem, but as ice loss continues these tiny, light-shy creatures are migrating to cooler waters. The result could be grim for the entire arctic ecosystem.


Here’s what it looks like when people show up, voices ring loud and leaders act for the sake of the planet.
SUN’S UP DOWN UNDER

For a few minutes on a Saturday, all of South Australia’s electricity demand was met by rooftop solar. This is a win for Australia’s rapidly evolving electricity grid, but also for solar power around the globe.

SOUTH AFRICAN SOLAR

Unreliable coal plants in South Africa have left the nation in the midst of an electricity crisis. But consumer action has increased rooftop solar power more than three hundred percent in the past year.

BYE TO LINE 5!

Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline threatens much of the Great Lakes including the straits of Mackinac. But over 60 Tribal Nations in North America have come together to support the ongoing lawsuit to have the pipeline removed.

COOL FOR SCHOOL

What better way to ensure children’s future than to make sure their school buses don’t threaten it? New York State is offering its schools $100 million in incentives for zero-emissions school buses to help the state reach its emissions goals.

SAFETY STANDARD

Outdoor workers are 35 times more likely to die from extreme heat than the general population. The proposed Miami-Dade Heat Standard would be the first of its kind in the country to protect and give workers the proper resources in heat exposure.

REFORESTATION REJOICE

A round of applause for the National Forest Foundation! From 21,000 acres of reforestation to 8 million trees planted in the past year this organization has not stopped. Check out all the good work they are doing here!

BYE BITCOIN

A New York judge has ruled that pollution from a crypto currency mine violates the state’s climate law.

AUSTIN (INCREASED) CITY LIMITS

What’s worse than the I-35 through Austin? A bigger I-35 through Austin. What will the $4.5 billion expansion project mean for carbon emissions in the region?

LAUDATE DEUM

In a follow-up to his 2015 encyclical, Pope Francis has issued a renewed call for climate action warning of a world “nearing the breaking point.”

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MICROPLASTICS

Microplastics aren’t just deep in our water anymore, they’re also above us in the clouds. Could we soon face “plastic rainfall?” See what the researchers are saying about this latest nightmarish discovery.

AFTER THE DISASTER

When a climate disaster ravages a town, what happens next? The clean up, often fueled by immigrant labor, exposes workers to lethal toxins. With little planning, and even fewer safeguards in place, the result can be devastating.

HOLD THE RICE

How do you cook a meal when the staple ingredient has become unaffordable? As shortages of essentials like rice, cooking oil and onions increase, countries are dealing with the hard question of what to export, and what to hold onto.

CLIMATE RESILIENCE

The Biden Administration released a detailed climate plan that focuses on community driven solutions that could be implemented in your neighborhood. Broken up into six parts, you can see the plan here.

OUT OF STYLE

Shein and Forever 21, two of the most prolific – and polluting – names in fast fashion, are about to team up. What could possibly go wrong?

TRASH TO GAS

New York has been touting its curbside composting program, but the city’s compost will actually be going towards boosting the production of fossil fuel gas rather than soil health. Doesn’t sound very clean, does it?

UNDER THE RADAR

Have you ever wondered why it seems like climate conferences are so ineffective? It turns out there is a secret network of deals being made in the dark and the repercussions go far beyond the environment.

JUST ONE SOURCE

One of the most dangerous “forever chemicals” found in plastics comes almost entirely from a single manufacturing company in Texas. Two years after the EPA traced the banned chemical back to them, they’ve still refused to shift their practices.

SHIFTING GEARS

From blocking every Citibank entrance to shutting down the MoMA direct actions during New York Climate Week took center stage. What does that mean for the future of the climate movement?
