We want to keep dogs safe in the heat. That’s why we’re putting new protections forward that prohibit unsupervised tethering of dogs in Phoenix.

🍊 Florida's orange industry has collapsed by 95% in a single generation, and it might not survive.

90s harvest: 240 million boxes. This year: under 16 million.

An incurable bacterial disease plus hurricanes, freezes, and developers buying century-old groves. ✨

Hero

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

In 1978, Lois Gibbs was 27 years old, had a high school diploma, and had never done anything like what she was about to do.

Her kids' elementary school in Niagara Falls had been built on top of a chemical dump. 21,000 tons of industrial waste, buried decades earlier by a chemical company, was leaching into the soil under the playground.

Her son had been having health problems. So had her daughter. So had the neighbors, she would find out, once she started knocking on doors.

She found black ooze seeping through basement walls. Miscarriages, stillbirths, and birth defects clustered in specific blocks. Cancers in families who had lived there for years. Every door opened onto another story. The neighborhood had a name, Love Canal, and it was killing people.

She asked the school board to transfer her son. They refused. Moving one child, they said, would mean having to move 400. They couldn't close the school for one sickly child.

So she formed the Love Canal Homeowners Association and started fighting. Her own mother told her she was forgetting she was just a housewife with a high school education.

She kept going anyway, through two years of local, state, and federal officials who stalled, dismissed, and delayed. At one point she held two EPA representatives inside a house until the federal government agreed to move families out.

Eight hundred and thirty-three families were eventually evacuated. The public pressure that Lois Gibbs organized produced the Superfund Act of 1980, the law that funds the cleanup of toxic waste sites across the United States. Love Canal was the first site it ever addressed.

She's 74 now. She's still doing this work.

The woman they told to go home and take care of her kids spent the next 45 years making sure nobody else's kids grew up on a chemical dump. It turns out a high school diploma and a reason to be angry are enough to change federal law.

Elected representatives who do nothing on climate, cost people money. Thoughts?

[Climate Power @ClimatePower]

Extreme heat is driving up air conditioning costs while families are already stretched by high utility bills—another sign our broken energy system is making electricity more expensive instead of delivering the cheap, reliable power people need.

For the first time in World Cup history, FIFA is mandating all soccer players take hydration breaks to protect them from the threats of extreme heat. But the new rule has sparked criticism from two very different groups.

Why we do what we do.

Extreme heat kills. It is the deadliest weather-related cause of death. It just doesn't come with the visuals of a tornado, hurricane, or flood.

Just this week, three hikers in the #GrandCanyon died from apparent heat-related illness.

It’s #showyourstripes day!

The climate stripes are a data visualization to portray long-term temperature trends in different locations around the world, developed by scientist @ed_hawkins

On June 19, 1865 along the shores of Galveston Bay in Texas, freedom arrived.

It was along this coastal waterway that liberation, long delayed, finally flowed into the lives of more than 250,000 enslaved Black Texans.

Rivers are much more than just waterways — they hold our past, present, and future. Today, we observe Juneteenth as a day of learning and service, and a reminder that clean water, safe communities, and healthy rivers must be for everyone.

NOAA officially marks arrival of El Niño as global weather pattern crosses key thresholds w/ 63% chance of sea-surface temps rising 2*C above normal. Research points to “very strong” event making extremes already impacted by warming even more intense. https://t.co/iy3IteBGaz
