Hey Blue Sky, allow me to introduce myself. I’m Lucero and after being obsessed with weather as a kid, I pursued a meteorology degree. My studies + the first withdrawal of the Paris agreement really shifted my mind to question what we can do about climate change. The answer I found: policy.

Retired Ohio school teacher Joni Watson was "dumbfounded" by the drastic increase in her electric bill this past year. Thanks to Trump's war in Iran and his administration's policies against clean energy projects, utility prices will continue to go up.

In case you missed it, here's what Trump has been up to recently:
❌ Gave the coal industry $700M in taxpayer dollars
❌ Leased 700,000 acres of the Arctic Refuge to oil and gas companies
❌ Used national park entrance fees to pay for his D.C. vanity projects
He is destroying and looting our country.
