US states and cities sue over Trump EPAs: Climate in Focus
A short Planet B dispatch on climate, environment, environmental, from New York: the evidence, and why it matters for the work of restoration.
What happened
A development worth noting for anyone who believes the first Earth is the only one we get. Work involving Environmental Protection Agency points to a familiar Planet B truth: that climate is not a distant abstraction but a set of choices being made now.
The core of it: The Democratic-led coalition also includes Pennsylvania’s governor, the District of Columbia, New York City, Chicago and the city and county of Denver.
Why it matters for Planet B
Planet B reads this the way it reads everything: not as spectacle, but as material. Every fact like this is a reminder that restoration is ordinary work, done in ordinary places, by people who decided to look closer instead of away. New York is one such place. The lesson travels.
Editorial note: this dispatch was drafted by Planet B's editorial engine (extractive) from public reporting by The Guardian, Environment, then reviewed and approved by a human editor before publication.
