Climate Action Now

#ClimateAction of the day: Tell Congress to pass the DISCLOSE Act and end secret election spending! In the 2024 election cycle, outside groups spent a record $4.5 billion on federal races, & super PACs received more than $1 billion from groups and shell companies that did not disclose their donors👇🏼

The DISCLOSE Act of 2026 (S. 3991 / H.R. 7802) would require corporations, super PACs, and other groups that spend more than $10,000 on elections to report that spending quickly and disclose their large donors.

We figured out how to turn sunlight into electricity without burning the planet. And still, the biggest obstacle remains political.

21 months: That's how long it took to strip away decades of climate protections. 21 days: That's how long until we get a say in what happens next. #vote #voteearly

👏🏼👏🏼 Berlin has developed an app where people can adopt and care for trees on the street, getting messages when they need water! When Berlin hit 103.8°F on June 27, 2026, volunteers collectively poured 8,000 liters of water on their adopted trees, helping them survive the extreme heatwave 🌳💚

South Korea increased its food waste recycling rate from 2.6% in 1996 to a whopping 97% in 2026! A powerful reminder that better systems are possible!

Gov. Newsom just signed AB 1448 into law, blocking new offshore oil and gas leases in California waters and cutting off state infrastructure that would support federal drilling! A big win for California’s waters, coastal communities, and marine wildlife!

#ClimateAction of the day: Ask Congress to review the Clean Air Act exemption process! How easy is it to skip pollution limits right now? Turns out, it's as easy as sending an email request...

This comes alongside the EPA's broader repeal of power plant carbon standards and a proposal to loosen methane leak rules for hundreds of thousands of oil and gas wells. Decisions that can affect the health of entire communities deserve transparency, accountability, & meaningful public oversight.

Roanoke, Virginia is building solar-plus-battery microgrids for its two high schools, making it the first school district in the state to do so! They're expected to save more than $22 million in electricity costs over 35 years 👏🏼

A federal judge just ruled that the Trump administration’s EPA illegally canceled the $7 billion Solar for All program! This funding was set aside by Congress to help more than 900,000 lower-income Americans access solar energy.

Under the administration's new interpretation of the ESA, a ship could strike a whale or a company could cut down a tree full of bats, & avoid accountability by saying the animals were not the target. When a loophole lets you destroy animals & habitats, it's not a loophole--it's cruelty, by choice.

To make the overshoot as small and short as possible, the UNEP report points to pathways in which renewables supply 60–70% of global electricity generation by 2030, supported by grid expansion, storage and demand flexibility.

🚨A federal appeals court just struck down the Trump administration’s order forcing an aging, costly coal plant in Michigan to stay open past its planned retirement. 👏🏼👏🏼 The court ruled the Energy Department overstepped its emergency powers.

Is 1.5C limit dead? Yes Should we be worried? Yes Is all lost? No Will we face extreme impacts? Yes Are fossil fuels responsible? Yes Is the future doomed? No Can we prevent it from getting worse? Yes Are clean energy, strong policies the answer? Yes Does taking action make a difference? 100% Yes.

#ClimateAction of the day: Urge the EPA not to let data center generators skip public review! For years federal rules have guaranteed a public comment period before states issue "minor source" air pollution permits, a category that covers many of the generators now built to power data centers. But👇🏼

Public notice is not red tape. It gives residents a meaningful chance to speak up about development that affects their communities, and it can help identify underestimated emissions or inadequate pollution controls before a permit is issued.
