We're At the Finish Line: Tell Congress to Pass the EXPLORE ACT to Improve Outdoor Access! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=50b24b65d82cdd8a84ec6704681fd48eb04b9fa59b5dabaf59329c65c954357b8a8f

This week, Congress is deliberating on the outdoor recreation package, Expanding Public Lands Outdoor Recreation Experiences (EXPLORE) Act. This bipartisan legislation will create more
equitable, inclusive, and expanded access to the outdoors for young people, families, veterans, and people across many communities. All we need is one more push to get this over the
finish line.

The Biden Administration Is On the Cusp of Limiting International Fossil Fuel Investments <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=f9013530eed6c29fb706c2870507de1e66a7c591f4785928b437b459254a5c459f707

The U.S. is supporting an international agreement to stop publicly financing oil and gas projects that exceed a set level of emissions. This means prioritizing clean energy projects
over fossil fuel investments to ensure US taxpayers are not paying for more oil and gas projects that threaten the health of communities, ecosystems, and economy. This is an important
step, and the Biden administration can still do more.
Urge President Biden to take every action he can to protect our health, climate, and future before leaving office. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=8c83500c50b325c46b556cfb824d493d682d32957819

Beautiful landscapes across the country will be at more risk than ever under Trump. But President Biden can protect more public lands by designating new national monuments now before
he leaves office.
It's time to permanently protect more treasured landscapes of this country and the historical sites that tell the diverse stories of our nation <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=d94c3df5f4e7083

Today, President Biden's Department of Energy confirmed what frontline communities have long known: Methane gas exports (known as LNG) harm public health, raise energy costs, and worsen
the climate crisis. There are six LNG terminals with pending applications, and we are calling on the Biden administration to deny these authorizations before leaving office.
Demand the Biden administration deny pending LNG <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=9836f8e28cdff44874d862b6aef19666a2940a18dad65fc5a7657b974fc5077dcc2ee35acea14421bdd243ea9cf48941c6914046aefd98

Nature invigorates, inspires, and heals, and we believe that the power of communing in the outdoors will be especially necessary throughout the next four years. Sierra Club Outings leads
hundreds of volunteer-led, conservation-based adventures in the United States and abroad, designed to connect people with the outdoors and advocate for these wild places once they return
home.
Hike, kayak, volunteer, and more in the wild lands that the Sierra Club defends. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=4a4e277ce1f2e4962863fd6b4f7a9523cc8fe680ad03aad54990520e35000003e99a3b2e47e257

Over a hundred years ago, the Klamath River was caught up in the audacious endeavor to tame the West. Dams brought the magic of electricity to an isolated region. But they were a slow-burning
emergency for those whose lives and identities had long been braided with the river.
Now, four of the dams are gone, a part of the largest dismantling of dams in US history, thanks to a coalition of tribes, fishermen, and environmentalists who would not stop imagining
the Klamath flowing freely. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=5dd50f4e1e1f98f824587638d5b45ce22f3633e9cdf481e45069f59511e401b6c82d94d2f0179850855e4e42ccf2d96d07d668f36b18bbef>

Acadia's vulnerability to rising seas and its rank among the most visited national parks in the country have made it a laboratory for how to confront the climate crisis on federally
managed lands nationwide. The National Park Service is finding ways to either rehabilitate damaged park facilities or prepare them for climate impacts like spiking temperatures, ecosystem
destabilization, and coastal erosion.
Learn more about why Acadia's vulnerability to the rising sea has made it a laboratory. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=1cedec48bf267c012339bb5d972f4fcb942f9d56980df1bda5a8e9f5616f6b8eae55324

Oil Giants and the Incoming Trump Administration Hope to Spark a Drilling Boom on Alaska's North Slope <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=32e2f65623c640b2e74717852810f2a87f062b6d820bf40cbf0956fd

The National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska may be the most misleadingly named landscape in North America. Its ungainly title conjures images of a huge oil field dotted with pumpjacks and
drilling rigs—it sounds like the mirror image of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. In reality, the tundra landscape looks largely the same as it did in 1923.
Now this vast sweep of wildlands is on the verge of becoming the future center of oil and gas extraction on Alaska’s North Slope. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=5e72c809ede77e77b1b50bea1cba4
