Dear John,
I hope this newsletter finds you well. Our thoughts are with all the members of the Sierra Club family – and everyone – impacted by Hurricane Helene <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=a091fb6b1
af775be350525c37e1451d4af0a16c4aa41ad648cea07eb460ca360608dc7de92670c062c97072dd20df66bb64ae10efda35081> . As this latest supercharged storm and reminder of the urgency of the climate
crisis plays out, I am reflecting on the conversations I had at Climate Week last week. We were grateful to have the opportunity to attend and represent you and the entire Sierra Club
at events and meetings with leaders from business, government, and the global green movement.
Ben

SPOTLIGHT: We’re suing ExxonMobile
The oil and gas giant ExxonMobil is also the world's largest producer of polymers used to make single-use plastics. The Sierra Club’s new and unprecedented lawsuit with California's
attorney general <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=a091fb6b1af775bec5cd1f757592743593863654cc03101e8877383e6d4f1271bfe17dc478d0905ca92f0a16613f450f8d97d4fadc2cdb68> seeks to
hold the company accountable for a decades-long campaign of deception about plastic pollution and recycling. From attempts to shift the responsibility for pollution onto consumers to
outright lies about how much plastic is recycled (or recyclable), it is time for the petrochemical producers that have poisoned our lands, oceans, food, and bodies with plastic pollution
to pay a price.

Climate Week 2024
We had the chance to strengthen bonds with old friends, like our partner in the Beyond Coal Campaign, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and make new friends with critical outreach to the private
sector. We know the clean energy transition also must mean an industrial transformation <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=a091fb6b1af775be6a857b6d52df94b0225922ee64af61bac54ab058303fd629d0d8a

also brings unique opportunities for fairness and equity in the next economy, as I highlighted in a special Climate Week piece I wrote <https://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=a091fb6b1af775be2c6789
