John, I hope you’ll enjoy reading this summer’s cover story, Dry and mighty: Texas communities find a path to sustainable water security. 

More than 2 million people in the U.S. live without reliable access to clean drinking water. In Texas, EDF and our partners are helping residents obtain well-drilling permits, restore waterways, plant trees and adapt to climate change in one of the hottest, driest states.

Also in this issue:

• New Rules: EDF fought to protect the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards under the previous administration and is working to ensure that the EPA’s proposed updates remain as strong as possible to protect our health.
• Green Jobs: A new EDF report found that the electric vehicle boom has led to more than 94,000 jobs in the U.S. since the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed in 2021, with many more to come.
• Ask an EDF Expert: What are PFAS? And how are we getting these dangerous forever chemicals out of our drinking water? 
• Green Living: EDF membership director, Sam Parry, shares his favorite inspirational environmental books for your summer reading list.
