U.S. forests offset 12% of our annual climate pollution, with the potential to do even more. But with wildfires increasing, they need some help.

That's why we've worked hard to support the #FixOurForests Act this year!

Here's what we've been up to: citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/policy/...
Our Fix Our Forests advocacy in 2025
As the Fix Our Forests Act awaits a floor vote in the Senate, let’s take a look back at our 2025 advocacy efforts to advance this bill.

The #FixOurForests Act uses smart, science-based solutions to restore forest health and reduce wildfire risk, while preserving important environmental standards.

That's why we've joined 21 other organizations urging the Senate to pass the bill: citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/news/cc...

Clean energy helps keep electricity costs in check.

"In some of the states with the highest level of renewables, prices have either risen more modestly than average or even fallen," @heatmap.news reports.

Trump Blamed Rising Electricity Prices on Renewables. It’s Not True.
Some simple charts show there’s no real relationship to speak of.
