Here's how federal agencies like the EPA protect our air, water, and climate From Sierraclub.org, read the full article - https://lnkd.in/gvNXqDa6 In the last two years, we've seen dozens of administrative "rules'' (otherwise known as regulations, or standards). These rules are issued by governmental agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency. Recent rules to protect our air, water, ecosystems, and climate include: 🏞️ A public lands rule that will create a new vision to protect public lands, waters, and wildlife from more drilling and mining. 🏭 A carbon pollution rule that will limit pollution from existing coal-fired power plants and new gas plants. This will reduce climate emissions that go into our atmosphere. 🚗 Two transportation rules to increase clean cars and trucks. They will help shift our transportation from being the largest source of pollution to a climate solution. 💨 A Soot Rule that will protect our communities from soot from fossil fuels. Soot is a dangerous climate and air pollutant responsible for over 10,000 deaths in the U.S. each year.

🌱 Proposition 4: $10B for California’s Climate Future This article outlines the general parameters of California’s Proposition 4 really clearly. https://lnkd.in/gZVXAWhw Prop 4 would authorize $10 billion to tackle urgent environmental issues such as water scarcity, wildfire prevention, extreme heat, and renewable energy. If passed, it would fund projects like clean drinking water, forest resilience, coastal restoration, and climate-smart agriculture. There is even funding to support  outdoor recreation and public access to California’s State Parks system! 🥾 🌳 While environmental advocates argue this funding is essential to meet ambitious climate goals, critics express concern over state debt. This pivotal decision will determine how California addresses growing climate challenges. If you live in CA, check out this article and continue to gather information so you can be informed in advance of the Nov 5 election! 🌎 #ClimateAction #Sustainability #California #Prop4 #getoutdoors #fundtheoutdoors #diversifyoutdoors #CAkidsinnature

What is the Future of Natural Gas Cooking? https://buff.ly/418Um2d Recent reporting has drawn more attention to the health and environmental impacts of fossil fuel combustion inside of homes and other buildings. While the risks of gas cooking may seem new in mainstream news, this isn't news to public health professionals, medical professionals, and building scientists, who have been studying gas health impacts for about 50 years. Gas cooking will phase out in new construction, though unevenly and over time. Many cities and states (almost 100) are changing building codes and passing performance standards where the federal government has not taken regulatory action regarding gas an indoor air quality to protect health, particularly for children. Existing buildings will take longer, but rebates and tax credits (many thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act), changing design preferences and environmental awareness will ultimately lead more people to go electric. #gas #naturalgas #cooking #kitchens #health #IAQ #indoorairquality #asthma #safety #healthybuilding #greenbuilding #building #buildings #construction #homes #energyefficiency #energy #decarbonization #electrification #emissions #fossilfuels #SDGs #equity #socialjustice #pollution #climatechange #publichealth #buildingscience #builtenviromnent

Now is the time for a proactive approach to energy resilience! "Community leaders, city planners, and utilities need to ask tough questions before storms arrive. Where in my community should renewable microgrids be built to keep people safe in the next hurricane? How can we use the funding now available to pay for microgrids? This hurricane season will bring resiliency planning to the front burner for a short while — let’s use that time wisely."
