Sierra Club's @jessyewaxman.bsky.social talks with @inthesetimes.com about our work to push pension to stop buying new bonds issued by fossil fuel companies hoping to raise 💰💰💰 for pipelines, refineries & more.

Trump shut down the federal government, but ordered national parks to stay open. "Forcing national parks to operate without sufficient support, simply to maintain the illusion of openness, puts visitors, staff, and the land at risk." @JackieOstfeld.bsky.social www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

Trump just handed $625M to Big Coal + opened millions of acres for mining. Meanwhile, utilities are STILL clinging to expensive fossil fuels. Our 5th Dirty Truth report shows the cost is falling on families. #DirtyTruthReport sc.org/dirtytruth

The Trump EPA's comment period for its dangerous proposal to attack critical climate protections has come to an end. Read our recap of how the Sierra Club community spoke out against the rollback of #CleanerCars and #CleanerTrucks: www.sierraclub.org/articles/202...

If there’s one thing Donald Trump knows, it’s con jobs and scams. But while he’s busy running them, millions of everyday Americans are affected by devastating extreme weather events, rising insurance rates, tougher farming conditions, and worsening air quality. #climatechangeisreal #climateweek

The Sierra Club’s member-elected Board of Directors has unanimously appointed Loren Blackford as our next Executive Director, making her the first woman to lead the Sierra Club in our 133-year history!

"The Trump administration does not care about your family’s health and safety. They do not have a plan to protect you and the people you care about from dangerous pollution, extreme weather events and he worsening climate crisis."

The Sierra Club strongly condemns political violence. That this is required to be said speaks to the terrifying increasing pattern of political violence which cannot be ignored.

Don't let them destroy our last wild forests. Did you know that the Trump administration is threatening protections for nearly 60 million acres of our wildest forests?

Industrial boilers are a little-known piece of manufacturing equipment with a BIG pollution impact. They use fossil fuels to heat water & produce steam used in processes like pasteurization. Thankfully, zero-emissions, electric alternatives are growing. www.sierraclub.org/boilers101 @sierraclub.org

Congress wants to overturn land plans in AK, MT & ND—gutting protections for wildlife, recreation & Tribally-important lands. If they succeed, it could unravel how ALL public lands are managed. Call (855) 980-5638 and tell your rep to vote NO on the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolutions.

NEW: The Sierra Club Foundation just hired Sara E. Murphy as the Director of Shifting Trillions, an initiative to catalyze capital in favor of a sustainable future. Below is a look at Sara, the Shifting Trillions campaign, and the importance of sustainable investing 👇

The Trump admin plans to gut funding for the independent board investigating the deadly explosion at a US Steel facility in Pennsylvania. This critical work must continue to keep ALL communities safe from future industrial accidents.

“It’s a new paradigm when you’re operating and fulfilling all the needs of these manufacturing heat processes without causing health-harming pollution.”

Cheese. Beer. Clothes. Paper. – Read Canary Media’s latest coverage on the impact of industrial heat pumps that can both meet the needs of manufacturers and "allow communities to breathe easier."

“A lot of people may not think about the role of industrial manufacturing in local air pollution, or in terms of climate change, but it can be a significant factor and cause real health harms,” said Will Barrett of the American Lung Association. Read more from @grist.org:

Industrial heat pumps could be a game-changer. This newest @Grist.org article highlights a new report from the American Lung Association shows that phasing out fossil-fueled boilers in manufacturing could save lives, improve air quality, & save countless lost school days.

Glass and aluminum can be recycled endlessly, but plastic has a limit. Almost all the plastic ever created is still with us, polluting our planet. What if we had a better way to recycle it? Nature might offer one solution. ✍️ Lindsey Botts 🔗 www.sierraclub.org/sierra/2025-...

Sierra Club’s Atlantic Chapter submits letter during public comment period on Micron’s NY Semiconductor Complex DEIS. Read our full statement and comment here: www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

Federal agencies are currently considering comments to a slate of proposals to curtail the National Environmental Policy Act, a law written to ensure that Americans have a say in encouraging the government to minimize environmental harm.

Thanks to the EPA Clean School Bus Program, electric school buses are arriving across the country — delivering children #backtoschool without harmful tailpipe emissions, and saving school districts money on maintenance and fueling: bit.ly/3XOFOE9. #CleanRide4Kids #ChargingUsForward

The science is clear that fossil fuel fueled climate change is making heat waves, fires, floods, hurricanes, & extreme weather worse. Yet major news outlets, especially TV news, often fail to name the connection. Demand they do better! sc.org/EndClimateSilence

🚨 The Trump administration just took its most extreme step yet in rolling back climate protections.

Children need to feel safe in the places where they learn and grow. This includes the outdoors. When we ensure the safety of children in parks, forests, schools, and community centers, we make a vital investment in our future. 🔗 bit.ly/3JahLM8 #ProtectKidsOutdoors

FREEDOM TO RIDE 🚌: EVs aren’t just for drivers — electric buses are delivering lower costs, higher reliability, and cleaner air for students and transit riders across the country! Let’s protect the freedom to ride electric 🔗 rtzero.org #RouteZero #CleanRide4Kids

Did you know that Trump is shutting down the part of the EPA that provides expertise for environmental policies and regulations?! This is just another obvious example of how the Trump administration is bending over backwards to please billionaires and the fossil fuel industry, at OUR expense.

The Trump-backed SEC has abandoned its legal defense of its corporate climate disclosure rules—effectively failing to do its job. This decision is a deeply irresponsible move that protects corporate polluters and leaves investors—and the public—in the dark.

Our Missouri Chapter panned the decision noting it would “lower electricity costs for small towns throughout Kansas & Missouri. Hawley doesn’t seem to care…that the company played by the rules, received multiple state approvals & withstood legal challenges.” @missouriindependent.com bit.ly/3TWVGDa
