is next week! ☀️

We have the solutions we need to combat the climate crisis, what’s missing is the collective commitment. It’s up to everyday people to join together and fight at the city, state, and national level for a just transition to clean energy. We can build a better future – powered by the renewable resources all around us.

Here are a few local events co-hosted by Sierra Club groups to check out in your hometown:

The EPA has been holding virtual public hearings this past week for the Reconsideration of 2009 Endangerment Finding and Greenhouse Gas Vehicle Standards Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. What this means is that the Trump Administration is trying to prevent the EPA from doing anything to limit CO2 pollution, which would obviously be TERRIBLE as far as addressing climate change. This is a very, very damaging action trying to be forced on the American public by the virulently anti-environmental Trump Administration.

For more information on the rule itself, please visit:

The docket for the proposed rule, where you can submit written comments, can be found at:
https://www.regulations.gov/docket/EPA-HQ-OAR-2525-0194
The deadline for submitting written comments is September 22, 2025. The quote below is from our Legislative and Conservation Director's verbal comments at one of the virtual hearings this past week.

🚨 The Trump admin just took its most extreme step yet in rolling back climate protections. Will you act now to demand that the EPA do its job and follow the science, not the agenda of the corporate polluters who bought access to Trump?

Right now, Texas utilities are cashing in on massive bonuses - sometimes 40% or more of their program budgets - while doing the bare minimum to help customers save energy. These profits come straight from our bills, all while Texans are struggling to cover the rising cost of living.
