Another way to make fashion more sustainable, especially for those of us who like to wear black. Imagine how much faster these ideas would change the world if elected officials pushed them forward.

This is remarkable. The world added more solar and wind capacity in 2024 than we added demand. 100% of demand growth PLUS 9% to retire dirtier sources. Cheap energy keeps winning. ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

Sad news for all of us. Jane Goodall was a wise, inspiring person.

Jane Goodall's Message of Hope Lives On

She taught us about the secrets of chimpanzees—and the follies of humans.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 25 states. I expect that we will add another 5-6 this week. Please pay attention to what is happening to see and fair elections and democracy in court!

Are they changing the name from Department of Environmental Protection? #ClimateChange #emissions #hypocrisy

Energy Dept. adds ‘climate change’ and ‘emissions’ to banned words list

It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay climate change.

A year ago, Hurricane Helene tore through Florida. It went on its destroying swath. There are two hurricanes in the Atlantic right now. Stock up, be ready, vote for people who want to fix the planet, not harm it to line their pockets.
#HurricaneHelene #hurricaneseason #savetheplanet

Hurricane Helene began a path of destruction a year ago. Why was it was so deadly?

A combination of weather factors and geography helped make it one of the most brutal storms in the modern history of hurricanes.

We're the 80-89% silent majority. We care about the climate crisis. We are frustrated that there is no cohesion to get stuff done. We can see what needs to be done, but lack faith it will happen.
We hope we are wrong.

‘I worry about the future of my daughter’: the ‘silent majority’ who care about the climate crisis

Readers who are part of the 80-89% of the population who want to see climate action tell us their ideas on how to make their voices heard

Federal electric vehicle credits expire at the end of this month. Is it still worth it to buy an EV? Probably. This article not only gives an overview - it gives a great tip for understanding how much life is left in the battery.

Used EVs have never been cheaper. But are they a good deal?

The price gap between used electric and gas cars is now just $900. Whether that makes them a good deal depends upon the car, and the buyer.

“Music in concert with the landscape” is the motto of the Moab Music Festival, a strange and beautiful experience that is of course now endangered. If you are adding this to your bucket list, do it quickly.

People were skeptical when Global Citizen started. A concert with tickets that are obtained through volunteering & climate action? 2025 focuses on protecting the Amazon, getting renewable power in Africa, & education. And the line up is A+++.
