NEWSLETTER & ACTION TOOLKIT


WORKERS OVER BILLIONAIRES
This Labor Day, workers take center stage in 500 events nationwide where they'll call for justice, equity, and a livable future. UNITE WITH LABOR in demanding that people and the planet be prioritized over profits, greed and destruction.
INSURE OUR COMMUNITIES
Instead of supporting communities affected by natural disasters, the insurance industry is manipulating the climate crisis to hike prices and reduce coverage. EMAIL NY legislators and urge them to pass the bill that could stop them.
HANDS OFF THE AMAZON
While the Brazilian government sells off the Amazon Rainforest to fossil fuel companies, U.S. banks like Citibank are bankrolling their destruction of protected lands. JOIN THE CAMPAIGN and tell Citibank to wash their hands of Big Oil.
NOT TOO LATE
While Big Oil is getting richer, our policies are paying the price. SEND A COMMENT to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin demanding he reinstate the Endangerment Finding and other pollution protections.
CLIMATE LESSONS
Back-to-school shopping doesn’t need to mean more plastic. READ these five tips on getting ready for class with simple swaps that are better for you and the planet.
TUNE INTO CLIMATE
Extreme weather rages outside our windows, yet climate change coverage is absent from TV screens. Actually, in just one year, reporting of the climate crisis in corporate broadcast channels sank 25 percent. TELL TV NEWS to cover the facts and connect the dots on unnatural disasters and human-caused climate change.

The climate crisis in pictures. Our lens is global.

Clearing debris after a storm is big business. For some communities, it's also a burden.


EVERGLADES FRIENDS

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration and the state of Florida to halt construction of ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’ in the Everglades — the largest mangrove ecosystem in the Western hemisphere.

JUMP START

India has achieved a milestone! Half of the country’s installed energy capacity is now from non-fossil fuel sources, five years ahead of their 2030 target.

SAVING SPECIES

Conservation projects led by Natural England have supported the recovery of 150 species through a multi-million pound campaign. But they say a collective endeavor to protect wildlife is still required.

ECO EVOLUTION

Military outpost → climate solutions hub. This NYC island was once a site of seasonal hunting, but now it is host to various pilot projects supporting local ecosystems like oysters and kelp. See what they’ve done!

WINDY MONITOR

Chicago officials are racing to install nearly 300 high-quality air pollution sensors across the city in order to get a handle on disproportionately poor air quality in certain neighborhoods.

AT THE SOURCE

Portland, Oregon has shifted blame from the consumer to producers of plastic. Now it'll be the companies’ responsibility to collect and recycle its packaging. What will change?

LEGAL LEGACY

The Great Barrier Reef isn’t just coral, it’s a massive living system that millions of marine animals rely on. Could legal personhood help protect it?

FUEGO INCONTROLADO

Spain is currently battling massive wildfires, with thousands under evacuation orders. The Prime Minister has called for nationwide coordination to fight and improve the country’s readiness for climate disasters, but are they too late?

TROPICAL NIGHTS

Climate-fueled heat waves are melting traditionally cold, nordic nations and causing wildfires, drownings, and toxic algae blooms. Wildlife is also severely at risk. What’s going on up north?

ECUADOR'S RECKONING

Ecuador may be a small nation, but its imaginative climate solutions are having an outsized impact on climate progress around the world. But now as a young populist president looks to open the country to drilling and mining, all that progress may soon be reversed.

MEAT MEETS MICHELEN

After four and a half years of a fully plant-based menu, world-renowned and Michelin-starred NYC restaurant, Eleven Madison Park, is putting meat back on the menu. What’s with the switch?

SCIENCE TRIAL

Environmental groups are suing the Trump administration for downplaying climate science. The suit claims climate skeptics were hired to write a report that goes against scientific consensus, with the goal of repealing a key climate pollution law.

FRACKLACHIA

The fossil fuel industry promised fracking jobs for Appalachian residents, but actually… they don’t exist. Oil and gas production in the region isn’t translating into more jobs for residents of heavily fracked communities. So who is really getting the work?

PLASTIC WRAP

Representatives from dozens of countries flew across the world to meet for a massive landmark plastics treaty but everyone went home empty handed. After a marathon session of talks in Geneva, a consensus still couldn’t be reached.

DIRTY LAUNCH

The White House just signed an order easing regulations for commercial rocket launches, in a boon to SpaceX. Why is Trump helping his frenemy Elon Musk again?


DIRTY COAL DOWNFALL — Ever see every angle of a coal plant’s controlled demolition? Now you can. Watch one of the UK's oldest and largest coal plants tumble to the ground. (BBC)

THE GAS COAST — The current administration is fast-tracking new LNG export terminals, hitting the Gulf of Mexico hard. Floodlight visits southwest Louisiana to see the buildout up close. (Floodlight)

SAVING SALTMARSH SPARROWS — In coastal Rhode Island, sea levels inch upwards and researchers predict that the salt marsh sparrow could go extinct. A team of citizen scientists is doing all they can to save them. (The Redford Center)

RIPPLES OF PLASTIC — The Great Lakes are the largest freshwater lakes in the world. But they’re filled with plastic. See how the contamination pathways begin, but also what we can do to transform them. (Ripples of Plastic)


Climate science can be overwhelming. Here’s your easy-to-share highlight reel.
DAMN THESE DAMS

A new hydroelectric dam in Indonesia is threatening the habitat of a newly discovered Tapanuli orangutan. While advocates fight the project, they’ve been met with intimidation, unemployment and even one suspicious death.

PIGS AND BUFFALO ROAM

Invasive pigs and buffalo are taking a heavy toll on Australia’s coastal wetlands. The indigenous Yolŋu peoples rely on this land, but these animals have increased local carbon pollution fourfold.

DON’T FALL FOR EARLY FALL

Across the UK, leaves fall and fruits ripen weeks ahead of schedule. Not signs of an early autumn, but instead these are symptoms of climate stress that could threaten food supply, disrupt migration patterns, and confuse reproduction timing.

PHYTO FIGHT

Researchers are turning to the tiniest organisms to help draw down carbon pollution from the atmosphere. See how fertilizing the oceans with phytoplankton could support climate systems.

FARMED AND HARMED

Factory farms don’t just stink — they make it harder to breathe, too. Animal feeding operations pollute our air and are often located near uninsured and communities of color.

POLLUTION-PROOF

While most organisms may avoid dirty water, the blue dasher dragonfly has genes that break down bacteria instead. See how this beautiful insect prefers unexpected places like storm drains and polluted urban areas.

PUMP UP

Installing heat pumps in factories could save $1.5 trillion and 77,000 lives, a new report finds. Data suggests replacing conventional boilers could also avoid tens of millions of asthma attacks, thanks to improved air quality.

REWRITING GENES

We know PFAs are terrible for the environment and us. But how bad, and in what ways? A new study on firefighters reveals that chemicals in firefighting foam lead to specific PFAs-related illnesses.
