Take Action
The Steel Industry is a Massive Carbon Emitter. Here's How We Clean it Up.
Right now, there is a bill introduced in Congress that would help reduce the amount of pollution created by the steel industry. The Modern Steel Act, protects frontline communities from the health impacts of pollution and creates new, green jobs. Plus, we've already seen pilot programs for green steel implemented in Mississippi and Iowa -- and they're working!
Add your name and tell your Senator and Representative to support this bill!

Last week, the D.C. Circuit Court issued a decision that effectively cancels three dangerous methane gas projects that had been previously approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). This is a big win for Gulf South communities and the environment. Now, we must keep up the pressure to stop new LNG fracked gas export facilities for good!
Urge President Biden to stop ALL gas exports.

Hotter Temperatures Are Causing Trees to Have Heat Strokes
Temperatures in the Southwest are so hot and dry that scientists are coming up with new terms to describe what's happening—hotter drought. The combined threats of heat and aridity have been fatal for even the most heat-adapted trees. Scientists have determined that about a third of the strength of the current megadrought is due not to a lack of water but to warming tied to climate change.
