Hurricane Recovery—Puerto Rico and Florida Need Your Help

Puerto Rico and Florida were devastated once again by hurricanes, yet another set of natural disasters worsened by climate change. The Sierra Club is fundraising for some local organizations that are helping with recovery after hurricanes Fiona and Ian hit Florida and Puerto Rico. 

You can help rebuild with an emergency gift to support immediate relief and long-term recovery.

Leaf Them Be

Happy Autumn! Is your yard covered in leaves? Don’t bag them up and send them to the landfill! They’re critical nutrients for your yard as they break down.

Tell the EPA: Set Stronger Soot Pollution Limits for Cleaner Air!

Burning dirty fossil fuels releases soot and creates smog pollution—both dangerous to our health. 

Tell Biden's EPA: We need stronger soot pollution limits for cleaner air!

The Mystery of the Missing Crabs

For the first time in history, Alaska officials have canceled the winter snow crab harvest—on the grounds that the snow crab population in Bristol Bay shrank by at least 7 billion. But what happened? Is climate change to blame?

More about this curious case.

Climate Denial

Three decades ago, the climate change denial movement was born at a conference sponsored by fossil fuel behemoth Koch Industries. Today, we all are living with the dire consequences of such a successful event and struggling against a planetary climate emergency.

And as Associate Director of Communications for Latino Media Javier Sierra writes, the success of climate denialism is forcing us all to ask ourselves the question of the century.

No More LNG in the RGV

Three global institutions—Macquarie Capital (Australia), Société Générale (France), and Credit Suisse (Switzerland)—have supported the construction of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV), one of the few communities on the Texas coast without fossil fuel refineries.

Tell these global institutions: Pull your support from LNG in the Rio Grande Valley today!

A Grand Vision for Rewilding the West With Beavers and Wolves

Beavers are at the heart of an ambitious scheme for a rewilded West that calls for a new paradigm of management of public lands to “restore critical ecological processes with minimal human interference.” But is it politically feasible?

Find out how these keystone species restore ecosystems.

Protect Public Lands

Oil and gas leasing on our public lands directly undercuts President Biden's ambitious climate goals. Despite this, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has proposed lease sales covering over 250,000 acres of public lands in Wyoming, New Mexico, and Kansas.

Tell the Bureau of Land Management that more oil and gas leasing is the exact opposite of what we must do to address the climate crisis.

In Arizona, the Future of Renewable Energy Is on the Ballot

This election day, it’s a down-ballot contest that makes Arizona a swing state in the battle against climate change. Depending on what voters decide, Arizona could either become a leader in decarbonizing electricity or it could abandon those efforts entirely. 

Take a look inside the heated race for seats on the Arizona Corporation Commission and read more on why this state race is so consequential.

Stop the Burn

Most of us consume sugar every day, but we don't realize that there is a deadly practice behind this commonplace item. Cane sugar producers set fire to thousands of acres of sugarcane fields in and around the Everglades Agricultural Area, exposing nearby residents to toxic smoke and ashfall.

That is why we are calling on Congress to modify the Farm Bill and end this outdated, racist practice!

The Wheels on the Bus

Last week, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that they will nearly double the first round of funding for the Clean School Bus Program to nearly $1 billion, and released a list of awardees that includes school districts in every state in the nation. Originally set at $500 million, the first round of EPA funding was almost doubled to $965 billion due to an overwhelming number of applications from school districts.

Learn why kids and communities need clean school buses.
