@Interior I’m pleased to say that in keeping with his promise to conserve our public lands and waters, @POTUS will restore protections to three monuments today. This action will allow us to protect our sacred native sites and cherish these monuments for generations to come. (3/3)

[Zero Emission Transportation Association @zeta_updates]

Reliable, publicly accessible charging infrastructure is fundamental to a successful #EV transition. A recent @AtlasPolicy analysis indicates that we must allocate $39b to public charging infrastructure – consistent with #ZETA's call for $30b. Read more:. https://t.co/B8dHcuW8mL

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

In recent months three different deep decarbonization scenarios have been produced from high-resolution grid integration models. In a new analysis at @TheBTI, my colleague @erikolsonn and I look at lessons they provide about what is needed: https://t.co/zi1o0iW4V3

[Labor Network for Sustainability @LN4S]

Emissions in high traffic areas can have dramatic effects on the health of residents, leading to respiratory and pulmonary health issues.

The solution? Expanded, electrified public transit.

[Secretary Pete Buttigieg @SecretaryPete]

On this Transit Equity Day, I’m committed to including partners on the state, local, tribal, and territorial levels to ensure we rebuild our nation’s infrastructure into something that creates opportunities for all, especially those who have been historically shut out.

[Transportation for America @T4America]

We need essential workers and essential workers need public transit. Supporting equitable public transit ensures that essential workers like nurses and grocery store workers can get to their jobs and keep our society running. #TransitEquityDay https://t.co/Etc2V34y40

Shovel ready project for a stimulus that is morally right and has a benefit-cost ratio of infinity: remediate all lead paint, soil, and water pipes in the U.S.

[Matthew Goetz @MatthwGoetz]

Impressive climate leadership by California, and a much-needed step in the fight for environmental justice.

[CARB @AirResources]

California takes bold step to reduce diesel truck pollution. A first of its kind requirement for #zeroemission trucks in the state will help communities hardest hit by #airpollution
