July 4 was the hottest day on Earth since recordkeeping began more than 40 years ago, and June was the warmest month overall. Climate action to reduce emissions is just one part of confronting
this dangerous problem.

In cities like Chicago, nonprofit groups are trying to make shade more equitable. Research shows trees improve local air quality and make neighborhoods more walkable, less vulnerable
to flooding, and cooler during hot weather.

While the climate crisis worsens, the world’s biggest asset managers continue to invest in fossil fuel companies and fail to use their significant influence to hold polluters accountable.
Take action: Tell the CEOs of BlackRock, Vanguard State Street, and Fidelity to prioritize our future over short-term fossil fuel profits. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=b799553477728ff05826

The magic and myth of the mustangs seem to collide with the realities of landscape management, policy tussles, and laws that haven't been meaningfully updated since the 1970s.

Updating Energy Codes for Affordable Housing <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=29b0179b9363c45f102df2547ea7ce1500f0365653b84b7be37c82b2e90f8fcfaeb6015708eaa902067c57b8597278ca4dfde6edaecf9c762b

The federal government just announced plans to update building energy codes for renters in low-income housing — a decision that could save residents more than 35 percent in energy costs.
This decision helps ensure better access to climate-friendly appliances, green energy, and healthier, more affordable homes.
Leave a comment to make sure the Department of Housing and Urban Development helps low-income homeowners and renters access clean energy updates. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=29b0179b9363c

What's Behind the Rise of Ticks and Tick-Borne Illnesses? <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=29b0179b9363c45f3c6cd9d0fefed4ef7768aa9303be7c53b3456baf9e3988aa91d2e764624974eeccd86bcc87538ae4fde85

It's not just you. It's true that ticks are everywhere these days. Throughout the country, public health experts are ringing alarm bells about rising cases of tick-borne illnesses.
Here's why ticks are spreading: People play a major role in tick expansion. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=29b0179b9363c45fc59e56a2d8ffcc9d89e8e3721a6ef3ed0c92b05269f1402a67fd6f22da5ac7f9ca1

Mature and Old-Growth Forests Are the Solution! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=29b0179b9363c45ff9dd48ac51af769ecfdcb28f4ea84a5f25ba4da81a5b157a53a3b015538240e94f3130d7c0f255d55706466e4569601

Forests absorb and store carbon — in soils, organic matter, and living and dead trees — better than any other ecosystem. This year, the US Forest Service took the first step toward fulfilling
President Biden’s directive to "define, inventory, and protect" mature and old-growth forests on federal lands. The federal government is beginning to chart a course to conserve mature
and old-growth forests in an era of climate change.
Act now to make sure it turns into a meaningful rule that fully recognizes the important role old forests play in protecting our climate. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=6edf3de8bdd404d075d55
