"If passed, the Climate Superfund Act with its potential to generate an estimated $50 billion over 20 years, could significantly bolster state disaster relief and climate resilience projects." @thirdactnewjersey.bsky.social insideclimatenews.org/news/1911202...

Thanksgiving-Cyber Monday, my wallet's ignoring Target, Home Depot, & Amazon. I'm tired of corporations enabling this administration ditching DEI, allowing ICE to terrorize our communities, & chase tax breaks. Join me! #WeAintBuyingIt 🚫 app.sosha.ai/s/FuQ671Nh

At Third Act @thirdactorg.bsky.social we are by definition older Americans. We've seen more stuff than most people. But we've never seen the president demand the execution of members of Congress.

“Between the booths flooding and a fire breaking out in the Blue Zone, feels like maybe someone is trying to tell us something at COP30” #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange

We are thrilled to have Heather Cox Richardson as our special guest, who will be joined in conversation with Third Act co-founder, Bill McKibben. We’ll share campaign updates, hear from our local elder activists, and gain insight into what is coming up next! actionnetwork.org/events/decem...

"For the good of our #Planet" because there is no #PlanetB. #ClimateAction #SolarEnergy #Sustainability

I find some (hope) every time I think of you, "Third Actors, and others, who are shining light into a world that needs it desperately, urging us beyond individual acts of sustainability toward collective and legislative action for the good of our planet." Dana D of Maine thirdact.org/maine/2025/1...

Did you know that the PR agency for #COP30 also works for fossil fuel companies like Shell? We made a meditation app to help them sleep at night. Try it for yourself here oilwell.app

A new meditation app that embraces climate breakdown. Breathe in profit. Breathe out responsibility. If you’ve ever had problems with anxiety from being a fossil fuel executive, this is the app for you. Brought to you by @olifro.st

Third Act SoCal joined students from local high schools Friday urging the Santa Monica City Council, Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur and other elected leaders to endorse the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act. Sign their petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/ma... #makepolluterspay #thirdactsocal

Great op-ed bit.ly/3LJSYA6 from @bisbeeunplugged.bsky.social about why we need more solar power in #Arizona. With 350 days of sunshine/year why are we only at 15.2% renewable? It's all about the utilities @apsfyi.bsky.social, TEP, UNS making a profit, not clean energy.

Over 40,000 people marched in Belém at the Global Climate March as #COP30 closed week one. Activists carried calls to respect the Amazon, protect forests, uphold Indigenous rights and make polluters pay for climate damages. #MakePollutersPay #RespectTheAmazon

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

📈 Out of 22 states with above-average increases in wind and solar generation over the past four years, 12 states had power price increases which were below the national average: www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

States like Alaska, New Hampshire & Connecticut with solar and wind shares of less than 10%, all have an average price of over 20.5¢ compared to 9.9¢ in states like New Mexico 💸

✅ Clean energy is the solution to rising energy bills for U.S. households NOT the problem and a new study by @politico.com gives us proof. 🧵

“'She did not just approve a fossil fuel project. She made a moral choice,' Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado (D), who is primarying Hochul, said on Monday. 'New Yorkers deserve a governor who does not treat the climate crisis as a PR problem, but as a test of moral leadership.'”

"No Military Takeover of Oregon: No matter our background, origin, or political affiliation, now is the time for each and every one of us to speak out and make clear that any takeover of any community in Oregon is a violation of our autonomy and a danger to our communities."

pity that an upstanding corporation like JP Morgan Chase might be somehow damaged www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Wow, great plan, Gov. Hochul! Burn a lot of gas to mine some crypto in the beautiful Finger Lakes. With visionary leadership like that, the future is, um, kinda dark www.eenews.net/articles/hoc...

Save the date of Dec. 3, 5 pm PT, for our webinar "News, Climate & Our Constitution: The Value of Robust Climate Journalism to a Healthy Planet and Strong Democracy," featuring climate writers such as Bill McKibben, Sammy Roth, Adam Mahoney, Kyle Pope and Amy Westervelt! Registration info to come.

Bill McKibben's Substack never fails to blow your mind, usually in a good way. See from The Economist: "By the end of last year, [China]... had installed 887 gigawatts of solar-power capacity—close to double Europe’s and America’s combined total." substack.com/home/post/p-...

NEW! Super proud to announce the release of our new compilation of the science on the health harms of gas-fired appliances in the home with a special focus on GAS STOVES. From @sehnetwork.bsky.social with @psr.org tinyurl.com/2s4v7pmn

Keep a look out–there was a sighting of the legendary Bessie, Lake Erie’s monster on the Cuyahoga River this afternoon. Her scales looked suspiciously like recovered plastics from Lake Erie. Lesson from today’s events - “The Real Monster here is Plastic!” *UN Environment Programme and OECD reports

Because of the environmental and health impacts of this plastic explosion, Third Actors protested outside of the annual Plastic Recycling World Expo in Cleveland this morning. Plastic recycling, particularly “Chemical” recycling is a myth with less than 10% of plastics being recycled worldwide.

Globally, more than 400 million tons of plastic are produced each year with a significant portion of that being for single-use items. Plastic production volume has double in the last 2 decades and is projected to triple by 2060.

#COP30 kicked off this week and clean energy is already front and center. Simon Stiell’s opening speech acts as our reminder that solar and wind are the world’s answer to ✅ Lower bills ✅ Cleaner air ✅ Climate change 🙌

Marvel's book "explores climate change through nine emotions. They include anger, fear and hope for the human future in a world beset by more heat, storms and uncertainty."

We invite you to attend a free webinar Dec. 3 about the future of climate journalism, linking news, climate and Democracy. Hear some of the country's finest environmental writers and reporters, including Third Act’s own Bill McKibben, on how to cover this issue! Sign up: lnkd.in/gPgeif7V

I took inventory. It looked good.

The country with the disastrous Great Leap Forward will now rule over the country with the Great Leap Backward. 3 factors renewables will dominate: cost, environment, decentralization.

David Goeßmann interviewing Bill McKibben, asks what gives him the hope and strength to continue, and McKibben responds: "Hey, lots of people are suffering badly, mostly in places that did nothing to cause climate change. If they can keep fighting, I guess I can too!" Yes, we can too.
