Seeing more coyotes in LA?
It’s not just a coincidence, fires + mating season are increasing movement and visibility. Climate change is forcing wildlife to adapt, and bringing those changes closer to home.

A church in New York is using geothermal energy to heat and cool its buildings, cutting emissions and showing what’s possible in dense cities. Small-scale projects, big impact.
#LocalClimateAction #CleanEnergy
Pocket gardens may be small, but they fight big problems.They cool cities, absorb stormwater, and improve air quality, all critical for climate resilience. 🌎 That’s local climate action in practice.
200,000+ riders in a single day isn’t just a milestone, it’s proof. When cities invest in transit, people choose it. Seattle’s 2 Line is a win for mobility AND climate goals. 🌱
#ClimatePolicy #UrbanPlanning
Local climate action, one block at a time 🚶♀️🌎 Seattle is turning part of the U District’s “Ave” car-free for 3 Saturdays this spring, making space for people, not cars.
#LocalClimateAction #SustainableCities
Local climate action in motion 🚆 Seattle’s new 2 Line light rail makes it easier for people to choose transit over driving, cutting emissions right where they happen. City investments like this are key to meeting climate goals. 🌎 #ClimateAction #SustainableCities
Community-level climate efforts are showing up in small but meaningful ways 🌳 A free native tree giveaway at Cleveland Public Library and West Side Market is helping residents plant trees that support local wildlife and improve urban green space 🌱
We can't wait! 💚
📍 Windfree Solar Cafe 📅 April 22, 2026 ⏰ 4:30-6:00 PM
🌎 Join us for a Run On Climate Earth Day Happy Hour!
Celebrate Earth Day with us at Windfree Solar Cafe in Evanston. Come connect with fellow climate advocates, enjoy drinks, and talk about how we can take meaningful climate action in our communities. 🌿🍹

The Green New Deal consists of three major policy changes
🌿The Emissions Accounting Zoning Amendment
🌿The Green Jobs Ordinance
🌿A requirement that both new and existing buildings reduce fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions.
Cambridge’s Green New Deal was put into place by our policy director, Quinton Zondervan with the help of his former Council Aide, Sukia Akiba 🌿
This ambitious set of policies is dedicated to reducing emissions while creating jobs for citizens of Cambridge🌿
Small states like Vermont are leading big climate accountability efforts 🌎 Their “polluter pays” law could shape how cities, states, and local communities respond to climate costs, showing how similar policies can be adopted nationwide. #ActOnClimate #ClimatePolicy
By expanding zoning + building near transit, the plan aims to cut car dependence and emissions while addressing housing shortages. It’s a clear example of climate + housing policy working together

In Corpus Christi, reservoirs are drying up after years of drought, and demand from industry is making it worse ⚠️ Local action matters: water conservation, smarter planning, and community-first policies can make the difference. #Drought #ClimateJustice #LocalClimate grist.org/drought/corp...
Local communities can lead action from the ground up: more rooftop solar, solar canopies, and clean energy on public buildings can cut emissions while saving money and improving resilience.💪
U.S. cities can turn climate action into something people see every day: solar on rooftops, parking lots, and public buildings. When cities make clean energy easy to adopt, they cut emissions and build community resilience at the same time.⚡💡#SolarEnergy
