When you visit national parks, you expect to be able to see the views. So it's super disappointing (and disgusting) when a bunch of nasty smog blocks the views at iconic parks like Arches,
Bryce Canyon, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton. The EPA has proposed real pollution reductions at coal plants in Utah and Wyoming, which are some of the worst polluters in the country.
Now we need to make sure the agency follows through.
Encourage the EPA to reduce coal pollution to make sure we have cleaner air at our national parks! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ab7379b1bea73396fb9198afa4083003293de8c3c768f34aec52ad8e8fb2

On September 1, a new cohort of fourth graders and their families will become eligible to visit national parks, lands, and waters for free. This program, known as Every Kid Outdoors,
has helped 1,105,805 students explore nature over the last nine years. But it will end in two years unless Congress passes the Every Kid Outdoors Act, a bill that permanently funds
this crucial program and extends it to fifth graders.
Ask Congress to help more kids experience our national lands and waters! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ab7379b1bea733962b0b3708c241e2fe247ca579c61a8363f0d7430bbf8810ad91d713460c8c30112a7383

Just before the Democratic National Convention, President Biden designated the Springfield 1908 Race Riot National Monument. This site fills a critical gap in the National Park Service,
telling the stories of race riots and the founding of the NAACP.
Thank President Biden for creating the Springfield 1908 Race Riot National Monument in Illinois, and ask him to designate more national monuments! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ab7379b1bea7

The survival of gray wolves, grizzly bears, and many more species is at risk. Vulnerable species face threats ranging from Endangered Species Act delisting to habitat loss to climate
change. We must act now to protect gray wolves and prevent more needless deaths -- but we need your help.

The EPA recently issued an emergency ban of the pesticide Dacthal, commonly used on grasses and crops to control weeds. For decades, research has consistently shown that Dacthal poses
severe health risks to babies in utero, including low birth weight, impaired brain development, and impaired motor skills. So why has it remained on the market this long?

President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law in 2022 after years of grassroots-led organizing. Two years later, this historic clean energy and jobs bill is making huge
strides toward securing a healthy and livable planet for all. No other single piece of legislation has done more to address our climate goals and support the clean energy revolution.

What Would It Take to Bring Renewable, Reliable Power to Puerto Rico? <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ab7379b1bea7339614f802edafb18da7b1783b08dda3943e8be8aef247e54f1b709f449954bffa8e0ecad864d

Puerto Rico stands at the center of two intersecting crises: warming ocean temperatures and aging energy infrastructure. Now, the local government and nonprofits are using funds from
the US Department of Energy to help residents tap into community-scale microgrids and solar-energy cooperatives. The goal? Renewable, decentralized power.
