NEWSLETTER & ACTION TOOLKIT
NO KINGS WITH THIRD ACT
It’s pretty simple: there’s no climate justice without a strong democracy. The wealthy elite who profit from a dying planet won’t protect it, so we will. Stand up this Saturday to defend our planet, our people and our democracy.

SENIOR WIND

Texas wind companies help senior citizens live comfortably, not only through consistent, reliable, clean energy, but also from funds that support the senior center. How? It all comes down to a section of the state tax code.

2
FREE STOVE

New York apartment residents are getting a gift from the city: non-polluting induction stoves! Thousands of public housing stoves will be electrified, and the city is footing the bill. They expect this to dramatically improve indoor air quality and asthma rates.

WATER FOR SUN

Farmers in the California Central Valley may have a new lifeline for their devastating water shortages: the largest solar project in the world. Formerly fallow farms could be shifted to powering 9 million homes. But how long will this take to come online?

1
POUND FOR POUND

An 18-year old Dutch aerospace engineering student created an ocean solution that has now cleaned up more than 110 million pounds of plastic pollution from the water. How did he do it?

BUBBLY BREW

A beer company has figured out a way to take carbon out of the air and use it to brew its beer. Almanac Beer Company is calling it “air-to-beer carbonation,” and it is a small-scale solution to a big problem.

WALES LEADS THE WAY

A solar mandate for new buildings is coming to the United Kingdom! By early 2027, Wales will outpace Scotland and the rest of the UK by requiring mandatory renewable energy.

PAUSE ON AI

Progressive lawmakers unveiled a new policy to stop the construction of AI data centers. Brought by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, this policy aims to protect the environment and communities from AI datacenter expansion.

STATES BITE BACK

President Trump’s EPA has virtually no oversight on carbon pollution at the moment, but they won’t get off the hook that easy. Half of U.S. states have filed lawsuits fighting the decision. See the details here.

0
PAY BLOCK

The current administration is poised to spend a billion dollars to block clean energy projects. TotalEnergy has plans for offshore wind but Trump wants to pay to cancel them and back oil and gas instead.

0
CARBON WARS

Just in case you need another reason to oppose war, 5 million tons of carbon pollution were emitted during just the first two weeks of the war in Iran. That’s more pollution than the annual combined emissions of dozens of nations, in barely two weeks.

CHARGED UP

Western car companies are slamming the brakes on EVs at the exact moment they should be flooring it. Meanwhile, Chinese EV makers are ramping up and raking in the cash. Why would U.S. car companies let themselves be left in the dust?

HOCHUL HALTS

Governor Hochul keeps delaying NY’s climate policies, undermining the landmark state climate law, but why? Despite expert warnings, she’s framing it as an affordability issue.

0
CALIFORNIA COMEBACK

Federal rollbacks on carbon pollution have essentially killed the Clean Air Act, but California isn’t backing down. If we can’t hold polluters accountable for the pollution they produce, a new law proposes they’re charged for what they attract. How would that work?

BALTIMORE BOWS DOWN

In a massive blow to climate lawsuits across the country, Maryland’s Supreme Court ruled against Baltimore’s ability to sue oil companies over climate change. And the impact of that decision could ripple across state lines.

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

Through consumption and carbon pollution, the U.S. has caused the world more than $10 trillion in global-heating damages. A quarter of this economic pain is inflicted upon itself.

2
BIG SURPRISE

Big Oil has pivoted from pervasive greenwashing to outright complacency. Instead of promising to cut carbon pollution, the industry is now doubling down on fossil fuels and stating oil is here to stay. Hmm, wonder why?

1
ON THIN ICE

Heard of “last-chance tourism?” It refers to the impulse to travel to — and consume — fragile environments before they’ve been claimed by climate change. And of course it’s being monetized.

4
FUNDAMENTAL FUNGI

Without fungi, trees would not exist. They also build and fix soil, sequester carbon and contribute to our economy. So why don’t they get the credit they deserve?

3
DAM GOOD

Beavers are impressive engineers, whose dams actually sequester and store carbon. A new study has revealed just how much they protect the environment and our climate.
