Flooded streets, destroyed homes & rivers of debris. 1 year after #HurricaneHelene, this NC church is still feeding hundreds, while neighbors continue caring for each other amid delayed federal aid. https://vitalsigns.edf.org/story/has-everyone-been-fed-north-carolina-one-year-after-hurricane-helene

NOAA’s services deliver billions in benefits we ALL rely on, and the agency makes up less than 1% of the federal budget. Cuts would cost us far more. See NOAA’s benefits near you: https://www.edf.org/noaa-and-you-how-national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration-works-your-community

The best time to be a human on the internet? #FatBearWeek Every year, Alaska's #KatmaiNationalPark hosts a competition for "the fattest, most successful Katmai bear." Read about how climate action goes paw in paw with the health of these majestic bears: https://bit.ly/4eYMbvQ

The world’s first (!) curbside vehicle-to-grid EV charger? Now in development after CA awarded $1.1M to EV charging company its electric. The charger won’t just pull juice from the grid; "it will also be able to push energy back into the grid directly from the EV." https://bit.ly/4ps5rrq

While no two disasters are the same, Hurricane Katrina set the tone for kinds of storms we’re seeing since: Extreme climate events growing more intense, frequent, and dangerous. Now, the programs that help Americans prepare for and recover from extreme weather are under attack:

You better believe we’ll be at Climate Week NYC, working w/ policymakers, companies & climate experts to explore & advance proven solutions to the climate crisis & build momentum for the UN climate conference, COP30, later this year. Our featured events: https://www.edf.org/climate-week-nyc

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Listening to and uplifting Hispanic/Latine voices is key to co-creating climate solutions that work for everyone—and a building stronger, healthier future.

Booming EV infrastructure keeps gathering kilowatts across the US! This fast-charger network was in 25 states less than a year ago; now it's in 40. 850 new Fast-charger stalls in 2 years. Communities large and small are benefitting from "freedom of fueling choice for every driver.”

AI is everywhere—including in our electric bills. As energy demands 📈 across US, costs are 📈 for consumers, & Trump Admin's response is… bringing back coal? This will only raise energy costs, & the American taxpayer is expected to pay for it. @aripeskoe.bsky.social explains on @pbsnews.org:

Deforestation kills. New @nature.com study shows heat-related illness from deforestation has claimed over half a million lives in the tropics in the past 20 years. This new research is a stark reminder of why protecting forests is critical to protecting people. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It already cost nearly $30 million to keep the J.H. Campbell coal plant running for the first five weeks this summer – "imagine the price shock for ratepayers after several months," per EDF's Director and Lead Counsel for U.S. Clean Energy, Ted Kelly: https://bit.ly/46cIqQq

Methane pollution is fueling the climate crisis and harming communities. The Trump EPA's unlawful delay of commonsense protections means more wasted gas, polluted air and climate damage. @envdefensefund.bsky.social & allies are fighting back. www.edf.org/Z6r8

The Trump administration is ignoring science, threatening the safety and well-being of communities across the U.S. Stand up for public health and submit a public comment today.👇🏽 https://www.edf.org/Z6rS

The 30x30 initiative is crucial for the health of the planet—and humans overwhelmingly agree governments should make these vital protections of land and oceans a priority by 2030. Public support averaged 82.4%(!) in 8 key countries per survey. https://bit.ly/4p0l4pM

Amazing comeback for a cleaned up Chicago River that once bore the brunt of the city's industrial waste. Floating eco-wetlands help filter pollution. Fish species jumped from 10 to 77. “Chonkosaurus” the giant snapping turtle and social media star likes to hang out, too! 🐢

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s policies are deeply unpopular in his home state. EDF-commissioned polling shows just 31% New Yorkers approve of his record—actions that drive up toxic pollution, raise household energy bills and dirty our air and water. https://t.co/f2gFoGnT2v

In its latest attack on clean air, the Trump EPA is delaying vital protections against toxic methane pollution. EDF Sr. Atty. Grace Smith joined dozens testifying against this action, which “leaves the American people without any say over the air they breathe.” https://bit.ly/41zCU9d

Many communities, especially in the Northeast, are counting on new wind energy projects to keep costs down & curb pollution. But the Trump admin’s blockade on wind power is holding them back. That’s why a coalition of states is fighting back in court. www.masslive.com/westernmass/...

Climate change is harmful, costly & adversely impacting people worldwide. Ignoring the science won’t change our reality. That’s why scientists are condemning the Trump admin's Department of Energy report. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/climate/climate-science-report-energy-department.html

20 years ago, Hurricane Katrina exposed overlooked risks coastal communities face—and gaps in disaster response. More than ever, people in the U.S. need a well-resourced FEMA equipped to protect people from the disasters of today and tomorrow. thehill.com/opinion/ener...

Anchors aweigh to the Harbor Charger as the newest vessel in growing nationwide clean ferry fleet (NY state's first). And anchors aweigh to $200K in fuel savings, significantly reduced air pollution & big cuts in CO2 emissions! https://bit.ly/4mXZv7G

Pollution is bad for our health and planet. Take action to protect pollution safeguards and submit a public comment today: https://www.edf.org/Z6rS

20 years after Hurricane Katrina, we talked to Rashida Ferdinand from New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward to hear how her organization is helping the city and its communities recover. https://vitalsigns.edf.org/story/meet-rashida-ferdinand-champion-change

Major milestone of 33 gigawatts this year means ~half of new U.S. electricity would come via solar power—and thus hit a record high, per EIA analysis. Another projected 2025 record: Battery storage for all that new large-scale clean energy! https://reut.rs/3HquTfY

Are we surprised that giving a pass to some of the worst polluters is unpopular? NYers have good sense to oppose what EPA Admin Lee Zeldin is allowing in our air and water, w/ support dwindling & criticism mounting as Zeldin’s policies attack public health & a livable climate. https://bit.ly/3Jt1Ada

CA has a roadmap to clean up cars and trucks – now is the time for action to fund the zero-emission transition! “While the federal government tries to drive the country in reverse, CA must move forward,” per EDF's @keroednersutter.bsky.social https://bit.ly/3VbGXom

We don’t have time to waste in the fight against dangerous air pollution and climate change. That’s why we joined a dozen other groups to ask courts to overturn a Trump EPA Rule delaying protections against more industrial pollution, waste, and planet-warming gases: https://bit.ly/4oKt7H6

The Trump administration's plan to undo a landmark finding that climate pollution threatens public health and welfare poses lots of risks for corporate America. www.npr.org/2025/08/19/n...

In Houston, EDF's @allynwest.bsky.social has lived through more than few unnatural disasters. Why, in the middle of another hurricane season, is the Trump administration turning its back on... 1/2

The suit by @envdefensefund.bsky.social and UCS names Energy Secretary Wright, DOE, EPA and Administrator Zeldin, and the Climate Working Group.

“The Climate Working Group worked in secret for months to produce a report for DOE and EPA that would provide justification for their predetermined goal of rescinding the Endangerment Finding." Here's how we're fighting back, with @ucs.org : thehill.com/policy/energ...

A new report written by climate science deniers hand-picked by Trump Energy Secretary Wright is packed with cherry-picked data and is being used to dismantle climate protections—to the benefit of polluters. (1/2)

From action to #GetTheLeadOut to a New York City congestion relief win, here are the latest #GoodClimateNews stories that prove climate action isn’t just possible, it’s worth it! vitalsigns.edf.org/story/good-c...

The Trump administration is allowing some of the worst industrial polluters to bypass U.S. clean air laws. This free pass to pollute comes at a cost: People’s health and the air we all breathe. See if you’re one of the two million people living near a facility: vitalsigns.edf.org/story/nearly...

🧵Is Secretary Wright living on the same planet as the rest of us? Temperatures are rising. Because of the burning of fossil fuels. Endangering our lives and health. 1/4 blogs.edf.org/climate411/2...

You don’t have to be a climate scientist to know that massive floods, droughts, wildfires, and hurricanes will only continue to get worse the longer we delay our transition away from burning fossil fuels. ​ But the Trump administration is trying to gaslight us about it.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin just finalized a plan to delay the 2024 methane pollution standards for the oil and gas industry—an action that would lead to more energy waste as well as climate-damaging methane emissions, smog and other hazardous pollution. www.edf.org/media/epa-ad...

New polling shows 67% of voters oppose the new “big bill” once they learn what’s actually in it. We asked our political affairs VP Joanna Slaney to explain how energy provisions in the law will raise costs for families & communities in the U.S. Keep reading: bit.ly/4mljHQz

U.S. public ports doubled to 200K in the past 4 years, per IEA — plus, an estimated 80% of nation's EV drivers do their main charging at home. Big gaps (and political roadblocks) remain, but EV optimism powers ahead.

1st wildfire images from FireSat’s protoflight have released! Congrats to Earth Fire Alliance, Muon Space & Google Research 🎉 🔥 🛰️ "These initial images show the transformative potential of the FireSat data,” per Steven Hamburg, Chief Scientist, EDF. More: www.earthfirealliance.org/press-releas...

The Trump Administration is reportedly attempting to eliminate EPA’s ability to combat climate change and overturn key car & trucks standards, “a scorched earth campaign against our health, our safety and our planet,” per EDF President Fred Krupp. Full statement: bit.ly/4f3XtQq

Ignoring our climate reality puts our healthier future at risk—especially for young people. We still can (and must) secure a stronger, safer world, but we can’t do so without the facts. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/c...
