When temperatures climb into the triple digits, we all feel it.
But some Americans don't have the option of staying inside.
Farmers harvesting crops.
Construction crews building our communities.
Delivery drivers.
Landscapers.
Utility workers restoring power.
First responders answering emergencies.
Extreme heat doesn't just make their jobs uncomfortable—it can make them dangerous.
The same heat stresses crops, dries out soil, increases irrigation demands, and puts additional strain on livestock. Those impacts eventually affect all of us through the food we buy and the prices we pay.
Climate change isn't just about polar bears or melting glaciers.
It's about the people growing our food, keeping our lights on, and working outdoors so our communities can function.
The climate isn't changing somewhere else.
It's changing right here, in the places we call home.
