    This is what getting out there and doing whatever it takes to make a difference looks like. So proud of the entire team on the Roadtrip — those who are physically on the trip and those making it happen behind the scenes.

    Until we start holding Russia, China, and India accountable for their horrific environmental actions, nothing will change.

    A suspected toxic spill along a beach on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula has killed 95% of marine life on the surrounding seabed, local scientists have said, following a weeks-long campaign to investigate the mysterious incident.

    When’s the last time actually tried to have a conversation with a conservative on climate change? If fighting climate is such a priority for her, why does she refuse to simply TALK with the other side?

    The incredible Sen. Coons (D-DE) and Rep. Crenshaw (R-TX) have accepted the Roadtrip challenge and will be participating in our important initiative to showcase common-sense climate change solutions. AOC refused to participate. Disappointing—but not surprising.
