Things are really dark right now so it's important to find joy where you can. Chicago's Lunar New Year Parade was a really good choice today.

Peoples Gasโ€™s costly plan burdens Chicagoans and the planet - Chicago Reader A reader submits a letter calling for the Illinois Commerce Commission to reject Peoples Gasโ€™s proposal to pass its reckless spending onto residents.

Peoples Gas filed yet another rate-hike request with the ICC in January, which would increase the average Chicago home-heating bill by $10 per month if approved by the commission. https://bit.ly/3ZNZQjJ

Investors ignoring climate are risking our future, and theirs. Letโ€™s fix that. New research reveals most asset managers are fueling risk, jeopardizing planetary stability and long-term performance.

โ€œIf asset owners want to protect their investments from climate impacts, they must stop asset managers from financing the companies fueling the crisis. Too many still arenโ€™t acting," write Sierra Club & Reclaim Finance in @climateandcap.bsky.social.
