Final Countdown: One Week Left to Send Letters to Undecided Voters <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=1edefc342f0db8d909c85a4cfb283beacdbf5db0d7f460442b96abb037fd24b819d85e278caf5ad058dadd60e902

This is the moment to ask ourselves: What can each of us do to make a difference in the election? Sierra Club volunteers have requested 60,000 letters to send to undecided voters in
swing states. Can you help us get to 75,000? Every letter sent could make the difference in who shows up to vote and who stays home. Letters need to be mailed by October 29, so join
us to make these final days count.
Write letters to defeat Trump and protect our future! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=1edefc342f0db8d9bccedbcadf92b2530ec51bc6c43aa036978610388ef1f8b2d0ca3b5616e485e6f2a251a445f769287d4b606f1

How Dirty Is Your Utility? <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=1edefc342f0db8d9072facd8ea5be91f3e552e82ea48a0869ff6b4ea4aa1e9c17289875becf110220f106243bbc7b3289eda3654e2a6c523679a6766293da07f>
We just released this year's The Dirty Truth report, examining the climate pledges of 50 heavily fossil-fuel-invested utility companies. Even though clean energy is more affordable and
accessible than ever before, utilities are doubling down on gas. What utilities do -- or don’t do -- over the next decade will determine whether we make the climate crisis worse or
make the transition to clean energy.
Find out how your utility measures up. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=1edefc342f0db8d93e718331f0bcb3d870e183e0aa83cc24356f4e956b98296d5928e2941c5be967af85c8e29fbdf0a6d1348bbb446d52ff3e44cc9c

Right now, the Senate is considering a bipartisan recreation bill that would promote equity, inclusion, and expanded access to the outdoors for all Americans. Access to nature is a human
right, but too many kids aren’t able to spend time in the outdoors.
Take action now to tell the Senate to pass the EXPLORE Act before the next administration takes office! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=1edefc342f0db8d91b684a6c19e66e101424e93d49396cf26081641

Senators John Barrasso and Joe Manchin, who have taken more money from the oil and gas industry than any other lawmaker in DC, are now rushing a dirty deal through Congress that would
be a massive giveaway to their fossil fuel donors. This legislation will open up federal lands and waters to more oil and gas leasing and drilling, and rush the review of proposed gas
export projects.
Write your senators now to demand they oppose fossil fuel handouts! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=1edefc342f0db8d916d2707d2a7a5e8711757bc6b205968490fe3a45a1e5d603f4b5105fbe5d2a1932f41c7ce51

Five Things to Keep in Mind When Buying a Used Electric Vehicle <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=1edefc342f0db8d9ea525312c91f9cae3348b2d0c41e86753a9a2c8861f37454e8b83539847e5573d92473939ed2a9a

Are you thinking of buying an electric vehicle? It’s a great time to do so, especially since many pre-owned electric vehicles are now cheaper than internal combustion cars. Costs have
come down a lot in the last few months, making EVs more accessible for more people.
Here are five things to consider if you’re in the market for some new wheels. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=1edefc342f0db8d9a7df286ad03a3aea8502e8b3de9dad1e32d8f40beba0057a608d15eb3bcbfd287

Applying Indigenous Values to Restoration Ecology <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=1edefc342f0db8d94bc2e1e6e17ddec47e681642f5000c1d9754dca7c72018665e278c6691c4a0d4061ca6dbba438cd5b2b760606fc33

Honoring Indigenous people in land management decisions means prioritizing Indigenous values, such as reciprocity and respect for nonhuman and even nonliving beings. Jennifer Grenz,
a Nlaka'pamux restoration ecologist, runs a lab focused on decolonizing ecology at the University of British Columbia. Her work reminds us that restoration isn't just conservation;
it's also about the relationship between humans and the land.
Read more about how Grenz is decolonizing land management. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=1edefc342f0db8d981f7fe484f741b8e3fd1cc3159a06bd6ba948950939e3edc930dd2780b1240f9b613d9bd6b921357e104

Whether to start a family is one of the most momentous and life-changing decisions a person can make. Factor in climate change and it gets really complicated -- the perils we face from
ongoing fossil fuel use and rising temperatures have made family-making even more fraught. No parent wants their child to suffer.
Here is how the "kid question" has recently been examined in writing and pop culture. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=1edefc342f0db8d977f34c4625fbd9b6c59802fb6683659077170d3bba9912c24bb59ff89
