You can't grow chile without clean water We are ranchers in Rio Arriba County. From the ponderosas down to the sagebrush, this land is both rugged and sacred. Ancient rivers carved the canyons and left the mesas

We can’t pass down poisoned land and call it a legacy...

to protect what we've inherited we need bonding reform, forcing oil companies to fully fund well plugging/cleanup. So far abandoned wells have cost taxpayers $100M. #NMPol

California's signature climate effort is up for renewal — and it's a fight The future of California's cap-and-trade program is in limbo. Experts say the state can't meet its climate goals without it.

Cap and trade is the most cost-effective climate policy CA has to reduce pollution and fight climate change while cutting costs for families and growing our economy. Lawmakers must extend an ambitious program this year! www.latimes.com/environment/...

Our statement from Alliance co-chairs New York Governor Kathy Hochul and New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham: “The federal government cannot unilaterally strip states’ independent constitutional authority. We are a nation of states — and laws — and we will not be deterred. We will keep advancing solutions to the climate crisis that safeguard Americans’ fundamental right to clean air and water, create good-paying jobs, grow the clean energy economy, and make our future healthier and safer.”

Today, the President issued an executive order targeting states’ authority to tackle the climate crisis.

Regarding the Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon fire, the Forest Service relied on poor weather data & failed to understand how climate change had dried out the landscape, which contributed to how much damage it caused and how large it became. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
