Hopeful news for the planet

Putting the US back on the right climate path [View this email in your browser]( Hey all, It was a good week for the planet, with President Joe Biden signing the United States back into the Paris Climate Agreement. That’s only the beginning of the new administration’s bold climate plans, as we note in this week’s [Climate Win](. It comes none too soon, as the warming planet is already threatening [several Arctic species]( from regal reindeer to tiny lemmings. Beyond government action, though, we also have power on a personal level to help the planet, by reducing our consumption of meat. As we noted in our [Veganuary hub]( this month, there are lots of ways to travel and exercise outdoors fueled by plant power. It’s also encouraging when a Michelin star is awarded for the first time to a [vegan restaurant]( and when residents of Brazil, where cattle ranching is driving the Amazon’s deforestation, are [giving up meat](. Celebrate the good news and enjoy the outdoors! Noelle Alejandra Salmi, outdoor editor SUSTAINABILITY [The United States’ bold new climate agenda could have bipartisan support]( What a week it has been on the climate front. The United States saw the swearing in of a new presidential administration, one with the most ambitious and comprehensive plan for combating climate change in US history. And we’re not talking baby steps. President Biden’s climate agenda looks to reshape major facets of daily life, from transportation to clean energy to the job market.
