The Sierra Club just released a shocking new report revealing how utilities lie to their customers to cover up their polluting practices. Read our Dirty Truth Report to find out how utility companies are holding us back and how we can demand better.
Major victory against polluters: A 640-megawatt gas-fired power plant located in Keasbey, New Jersey, was officially blocked. This will prevent an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and stop millions of tons of toxins from polluting the air of 70 nearby public schools.
This year President Biden canceled all existing oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, but this precious area is not permanently protected! Fossil fuel companies can still get future leases approved to drill for oil and gas on this critical wildlife habitat and sacred land of the Gwich'in and Inupiat peoples. Our work is not done untill we designate the Arctic as a permanently protected place.
The US Forest Service recently invited public feedback about whether they should create a rule to protect mature and old-growth forests on federal lands. Sierra Club members and supporters sent in thousands of comments, and now we have another way to keep up the pressure to protect these trees! All you need to do is print out a coloring page, grab a box of crayons, and have the family join in together to make more voices heard on this issue.
Did you know that nine out of 10 Americans have experienced a recent extreme weather event?1 The climate disasters scientists warned us about are happening now. We’re fighting back every day: stopping fossil fuel companies from drilling on public lands, lobbying for strong clean energy legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, and working to protect 30 percent of lands and waters by 2030. But we can't keep doing this important work without you.
When she first moved to Canada, Demiesha Dennis taught herself to fly-fish using only a stick, a crochet thread, and a safety pin. Her passion for spending time outdoors led her to found Brown Girl Outdoor World, a community-run organization that works to break down barriers in outdoor adventuring. The idea, she says, was that "maybe if I started inviting more people out with me, then I can see more people out here who look like me."
More and more visitors are arriving to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and the rest of Wyoming's natural wonders in electric vehicles. The recent growth in charging stations is making this possible, with more being built every year. There's federal money available to help expand Wyoming’s charging network, courtesy of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act.
We have no time to waste. We must act at unmatched speed on an unprecedented scale to confront the crises facing our country and our planet. We can only be successful by building a movement that works for everyone. Learn more about the Sierra Club.
