To Feel Less Heat, We Need More Trees in our Cities <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=2b747dcf3dbd1dc5f2daff01e80a8dfe4407e69eebf2ebd8ae1763426ea9ca886173fb96158f11e8373e650fd9f50eef0b95d24cce5

In just the first month of summer, we're seeing deadly and record-shattering heat scorching the country. For the 80% of Americans who live in cities it may be another 10 percent hotter
because of the tree equity gap, which causes higher temperatures, lower air quality, and health issues -- especially in lower-income neighborhoods and communities of color. What can
we do about it?
Sierra Club Executive Director Ben Jealous explains how trees can bring down temperatures and what we can do to close the tree equity gap once and for all. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=2b7

Getting the strongest carbon limits possible
For the next two weeks, the EPA is accepting public comments as they consider federal limits on carbon emissions from coal and gas plants. Let's make sure they hear from us loud and
clear -- the continued use and expansion of fossil fuels is incompatible with a livable future.
Add your comment before August 8 to support carbon pollution limits and advance the clean energy transition! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=2b747dcf3dbd1dc5e2724940dc077d1fbac6d562b614d203e5

Monarchs were almost wiped out from this coastal California town.

The "Bear Aware" Movement Takes Hold in Montana <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=2b747dcf3dbd1dc58b08ee49f3944afc0043af4e6670a907d7f7f23546ebc11457c838922e631cd01d1cdfbbf121deec3193509994f4e7a

On July 22, a hiker was found dead on a trail about a mile from Yellowstone National Park after an encounter with a grizzly bear. Such attacks are extremely rare, but they point to why
it's important to be "bear aware." Here's how one Montana town is going about it.
Find out how the community showed that coexistence is possible, even when your neighbor is the largest carnivore in the continental US. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=72b8ff5d98f4116abd9e919

Take action to lower energy costs and support families in Puerto Rico <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=72b8ff5d98f4116a523771e95a825163a2c02d1a7c0baf72a0d7bcaaa40bb534f1dea13344eb3a73a16f4547f

Puerto Rico currently has the highest energy costs in the nation. This unjust energy burden is caused by an undemocratically elected fiscal board that Congress imposed in 2016. Now,
Puerto Rico's Financial Oversight and Management Board is proposing abusive "legacy charge" fees to residents for three to five decades. We all should have a say in energy policies
that affect our lives. This proposal will be burdensome to families, businesses, organizations, and professionals that provide much-needed services!
ACT NOW -- Send a message and urge your Members of Congress to change this unfair system. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=72b8ff5d98f4116a1bc5b8726145efcf83509f525f1b0f910554ce1127cee4714c366

The Art of Modern Foraging <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=72b8ff5d98f4116a413f8b6cb0061c233f89722815f9be9d6dd593fe1b262c65e1c55817bcdb26526d32bd10d425d41638d77ed91639ac0b>
The practice of foraging is about more than free food and the thrill of the search -- it's an opportunity to engage with local ecosystems and learn more about the species in your area.
Check out these helpful dos and don'ts to getting started with modern foraging. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=72b8ff5d98f4116a366b7b0a0915fe6c9242be4d04c4a6bc1a60286a2b39ce452c6d559778c4c88

Tell Congress: We Need a 2023 Farm Bill That Is Good for the Land, the Climate, and Communities! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=72b8ff5d98f4116ae2ea3051aa0bccebf04e61f476cf2b8e4a1645b70da1f3

About every five years, Congress must pass a new Farm Bill -- a massive piece of legislation that covers not just agriculture, but also forestry, land management, food security, rural
energy programs, and so much more. We're calling on Congress to prioritize the climate, the land, and communities in this year's Farm Bill.
Learn more about our Farm Bill priorities this year and take action! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=72b8ff5d98f4116a7a882061991461949a2c87fc00035e04b6acb5f6de743a5661c8c51cfab57597946c50a920
