Seabed mining threatens our ocean ecosystems and marine life. The ocean floor isn’t a free-for-all – we should be protecting the ocean ecosystems we depend on, not gambling with them for short-term mineral extraction.

Can you spot the difference between a street lined with flourishing trees and one without? National Grid’s neglected, leaky underground pipes release methane into the soil, suffocating tree roots and robbing neighborhoods of shade and cleaner air. CLF is suing to make them clean up their act.

House Passes Bill Delaying Vital Protections for North Atlantic Right Whales Until 2035
The Senate will consider dangerous policy putting this critically endangered species at risk of lethal fishing gear entanglements.

The House just voted to delay critical protections for North Atlantic right whales until 2035 — putting one of the world’s most endangered whales at even greater risk of deadly entanglements.  Now, the bill heads to the Senate. We can’t afford another decade of delay.

Did you know New England's ocean is home to whale sharks and manta rays? These amazing animals showed up in NEAQ's latest survey of the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument. Trump is trying to remove protections for this special place. We're taking him to court to stop it.

New England’s electricity demand could double by midcentury. To meet that demand while cutting emissions, battery storage will be key. Think of it as a giant rechargeable battery for the electric grid: storing energy when it’s abundant and sending it back when we need it.

Under Trump’s new leadership, NOAA is now pushing a major shift in how the country manages its oceans, prioritizing commercial fishing over marine protections. This is what “America First” looks like for our oceans: more access for industry, fewer protections for wildlife.

If families are asked to pay more for electricity, energy companies should have to prove every dollar is necessary. Higher rates shouldn't be a given when lower-cost solutions can improve reliability and save customers money. Accountability isn't optional.

Wondering why New England's sky looks yellow today? The haze is smoke that has traveled hundreds of miles from massive wildfires in Canada - a powerful reminder that climate disasters don't stop at borders. What happens far away can still affect the air we breathe, our health, and our daily lives.

Summer isn't just getting hotter, it's getting more humid, too. As the planet warms, the atmosphere can hold more moisture, making heat feel even more intense. Climate change isn't just changing the temperature - it's changing what summer feels like altogether.

It’s time for FIFA to stop caring about logos it doesn’t get paid for, and start taking responsibility for the ones it does. That means dropping Saudi Aramco as a World Cup sponsor. Raise your voice and post, comment, share, and tag @FIFA to #DumpAramco.

FIFA is out here covering brand logos if they didn’t pay to play. But Saudi Aramco, the sponsor whose core business is fueling the climate crisis, gets prime placement. The rules seem to be: No logo if you didn’t pay. No problem if your business model is destroying the planet.
