As our clocks spring forward, warmer weather is just around the corner.

Higher temperatures = more smog fueled by oil and gas air pollution.

We need strong methane safeguards and enforcement of robust rules to protect public health. #CutMethane

@gallego.senate.gov made it clear: access to public land in the public trust, and the persistence of Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument should be the priority of the next Bureau of and Management Director. Senate votes on confirming Steve Pearce Wednesday AM.

The Native Plant Art Contest & #PlantArteExhibit is open for entry through 3/30! @plantas.y.gente is accepting entries in the categories: wildflowers, critters, plants beyond borders, endangered plants, resilience. Any handmade/ handcrafted medium is welcome. Let's get crafting!

Can California Set Its Own Car Emissions Standards? Trump's Climate Reversal May Force the Issue Withdrawal of federal climate authority could ironically give California broader power to regulate emissions and sue oil companies.

Ending the federal Endangerment Finding will cost Californians billions at the pump and doctor's office and harm lives with dirtier air. Tell @CASenateDems @AssemblyDems vote "YES” on @robertgarcia4ca’s #AB1777 to save people money and #StopDieselDeath.

Melanie Stansbury and her colleagues for speaking out against efforts to erase history in our national parks, museums, and public lands.Removing truthful interpretations about slavery, climate change, Indigenous history, or LGBTQ+ communities doesn’t strengthen our country. It weakens our understanding of it.Our parks are not propaganda tools. They are places for truth, learning, and reflection, for generations to come.

The oil & gas industry and government MUST DO MORE to #cutmethane.

Energy demand is higher than ever. So are electricity prices. Trump and Congressional Republicans’ war on clean energy is driving down supply and driving prices up further. Americans need to look no further than their own energy bills. We must say no to Trump’s #PollutersFirst agenda.

Today is #RefuseSingleUseDay.

Let’s be clear: the responsibility to "refuse" shouldn't rest on individuals—it must start in boardrooms and in policy. We cannot recycle our way out of this crisis.

Today, we demand that industries stop manufacturing toxic packaging.

#IZWM2026

Christmas came early for Big Oil's billionaires:

✅ Hamm loyalists placed inside the White House
✅ New permits to drill for oil & gas in WY
✅ Methane waste fee delayed
✅ Fuel efficiency standards for cars rolled back
✅ Wildlife protections weakened
✅ Expanded tax breaks for fossil fuel companies

✨GreenLatinos familia✨

2026 is here, and our Founding President & CEO Mark Magaña has some grounding words we hope will inspire and motivate us to create a more just and healthy future for our communities during this turbulent time. Let’s get to work juntos y unidos. ¡Adelante!

National monuments protect clean drinking water used by millions of people across the U.S. Yet the Trump administration could be on the verge of reversing fundamental protections for these public lands. Read more ➡️ www.americanprogress.org/article/clea...
