The Trump administration wants to open 13.1 million acres of public lands to coal mining—part of their broader attack on conservation safeguards. Tell the administration that public lands should be managed for people, wildlife, and future generations. https://on.nrdc.org/4mR4wOU

New data centers built to power AI are exceeding available electricity, raising energy bills and risking blackouts. Major energy grid companies must require data centers in the region to supply the energy they need to operate, rather than shifting the burden onto families.

More than a third of Americans don’t have reliable car access to get to work, school, or the grocery store. Our new transportation map can help policymakers better understand their communities and build a system that will benefit everyone.

Leaders of the world’s biggest economies set new climate targets to help limit global temperatures to 1.5℃, but they need to do more to avoid the most severe effects of climate change.

These iconic fall leaf-peeping spots are in danger. If the Trump administration has its way, nearly 50 million acres of national forests will be vulnerable to disastrous logging and road building. We reject this destructive plan because our forests are not a piggy bank for the timber industry.

When polluting industries move in right next door and directly put people’s lives at risk, we have to call for environmental justice because everyone has the right to clean air, clean water, and a healthy community. 🧵👇

Companies that own power-hungry AI data centers need to fund clean energy production to meet skyrocketing electricity demands—not fossil fuels that risk blackouts and public health.

A bill in California would phase out PFAS—aka toxic “forever” chemicals—in cookware, food packaging, and other household items. It would help protect California’s nearly 40 million residents from exposure to harmful PFAS and inspire more states to follow suit.

The Trump administration is hell-bent on propping up one of America’s oldest, dirtiest, and most expensive power sources. They’re expanding coal mining on public lands by up to 31 times the current operations and delaying pollution safeguards while endangering communities and our planet.

Several states across the U.S. are working to pass polluters pay laws to hold large fossil fuel companies financially accountable for a share of the local costs of responding to the climate crisis.

The Trump administration continues its attack on science by proposing budget cuts to the U.S. Geological Survey, a key agency for monitoring ecosystems, water quality, and climate impacts—putting conservation and public health at risk.

Climate change is reshaping autumn. Warmer-than-usual temperatures can delay when leaves change and reduce the vibrant colors we expect each fall.

America has long expected its energy demand to go up as we electrify everything from cars to buildings, but the rapid growth of AI requires us to act faster on clean energy. 🧵👇

Anyone looking outside their window knows that climate change is here. The real question is why any responsible leader would try so hard to convince us otherwise.

Robert Redford led with heart and purpose, using his gift for storytelling to amplify the voices of others and bring environmental issues to the forefront. Through action and art, he taught us that we can all shape a more just and sustainable world.

With climate disasters on the rise, we shouldn’t have to wait for national action to protect our communities. Together, we can build local resilience for a liveable future.

The Trump administration’s EPA is attempting to reverse the legal finding that protects us from climate polluters, letting big polluters make big bucks while the rest of us pay the price for catastrophic climate disasters. Tell the EPA to put people first:

The Trump administration has cancelled one of FEMA’s flagship programs that was key in saving lives, cutting disaster costs, and helping communities build resilience before the next disaster. Eliminating BRIC only sets the country up for failure.

California leads the way again. Governor Gavin Newsom signed a suite of climate bills into law today, making major steps toward a cleaner, more reliable, and more affordable energy future.

From firing scientists to distorting data, the Trump administration is going all out to stop climate science. 🧵👇

Trump’s Interior Department wants to scrap the Public Lands Rule, opening up 245 million acres of our public lands to unchecked mining, logging, and oil and gas development. This administration continues to prioritize corporate interests over the needs and values of the American public.

We’re proud to be part of an exciting lineup at New York Climate Week! Join us for events that are free and open to the public 👇

Truck manufacturers are breaking their promise with California to cut emissions and transition to electric vehicles, a betrayal that will endanger families with more toxic air pollution.

This year’s New York Climate Week comes as we face devastating wildfires, floods, and an administration actively rolling back climate progress. It’s important now, more than ever, that we come together at this pivotal moment.

J.P. Morgan Chase should drop support for Mexico Pacific’s Saguaro LNG project in the gulf of California. The project is destructive, threatens endangered marine life, and is a bad investment with a market shifting towards clean energy.

Our planet needs us—and now, more than ever, we need to stay focused. We are working hard so that future generations can enjoy these wild places for years to come.

We're thrilled to support this year’s @grist.org 50 list—an annual recognition for climate and environmental leaders. Our honoree is Melissa Mays, an activist from Flint, Michigan and one of the co-plaintiffs in the case that led to the ongoing replacement of lead pipes. Check out the full list!

The Trump administration’s overhaul of the USDA puts public services at stake that benefit small farmers and rural communities.

For decades, Robert Redford lent his voice to protecting wild places and clean air and water and fighting against climate change. He brought environmental issues into the cultural spotlight and inspired generations to act. Thank you, Bob. 💚

As the Trump administration attacks federal climate policies, states like California are stepping up to lead the charge.

As oceans warm, scientists warn of a sharp decline in phytoplankton, the foundation of the marine food web. These keystone species sustain hundreds of others, and their disappearance would devastate ocean ecosystems.

Scientists confirm that Big Oil’s pollution is fueling deadly heatwaves. Emissions from fossil fuel producers made recent extreme heat more likely and more intense.

As the Atlantic hurricane season reaches its peak, scientists warn of above-average activity fueled by unusually warm waters.

Scientists discover that toxic PFAS chemicals cause liver damage. Found in everyday products, these ‘forever chemicals’ can dramatically change our bodies and put us in danger.

Celebrity chefs are backing the cookware industry over public health by opposing a California bill to ban toxic PFAS from cooking products. These ‘forever chemicals’ can leach into our food, water, and environment, causing serious health effects.

The Trump administration moves to gut the landmark Public Lands Rule. This is a massive step in the wrong direction and puts endangered wildlife, rural communities, and clean drinking water at risk.

Trump’s EPA wants to reverse its own scientific conclusion that climate change is real, giving corporations free reign on climate pollution. The EPA is accepting comments to its terrible plan right now. Tell them to put people before polluters: https://on.nrdc.org/4phfi37

In collaboration with our partners, we pushed Golden State Natural Resources to cancel their proposed wood pellet projects in California that would have harmed communities with toxic pollutants.

Colorado needs to step up and protect pollinators by getting rid of harmful neonics.

The Trump administration plans to reopen the dangerous in pipelines California that led to the disastrous Refugio oil spill. This is another example of the administration putting corporations before the health and safety of working families. https://on.nrdc.org/3HYKdk9

California lawmakers can lower families’ energy costs, reduce power outages, and expand clean energy. It’s time for the assembly to get it done.

Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is an extremely dangerous chemical that’s used in the production of gasoline. 🧵👇

Wildfires are worsening air quality in the U.S. and Canada, as pollution like soot increases. Wildfires have become larger, more common, and more intense—putting the air we breathe at risk.

Scientists are pushing back on the Trump administration’s latest climate report, calling it misleading and full of errors. The administration wants to use the report to justify rolling back limits on climate pollution and reversing decades of progress.

More than a quarter of U.S. homes face severe climate risks like flooding, hurricanes, and wildfires. As extreme weather events intensify, insurance costs are skyrocketing and property values are declining—leaving families at risk.

Procter & Gamble, a major tissue manufacturer, issued a new policy that puts their profits ahead of our forests. Our toilet paper shouldn’t destroy forests, and P&G knows better.

With broad support, a landmark proposal in the California legislature would save families money on electricity while growing the clean energy economy.

California’s legislature must act now to reauthorize a strong cap-and-invest program. This is a necessary tool for the state to meet its climate goals and continue its world-leading climate programs.

Planned relocation directly and indirectly affects people’s physical and mental health. As climate change causes more governments to relocate communities, the effects on health cannot be overlooked.

Microplastics can get into our bodies through a number of ways. 🧵👇
