How the Bipartisan America the Beautiful Act Protects Public Lands
We’ve all experienced it before. You show up at a park ready for a day outside, only to find out-of-service water fountains at the visitor center, faded signage making it hard to track your progress on a trail, or dilapidated picnic tables at your campsite. Sometimes, the challenges are more serious, such as unsafe trails, failing water and sewage systems, or limited accessibility that create safety risks and hazards for visitors.
Conservation Wins in a Challenging Landscape
2025 has unleashed many obstacles to conservation efforts. We have weathered everything from drastic funding cuts to large-scale environmental policy rollbacks. But the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) and our community of nearly 90,000 members have risen to the moment. We’re rallying, we’re advocating, and—together—we’re delivering tangible conservation wins that will benefit people and the outdoors for generations to come.
Opinion: Virginia must not miss the clean energy revolution Original
One year ago, the Biden administration passed the historic Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) to supercharge our nation’s transition to a clean energy economy. With more than 100 programs and billions of dollars available to help accelerate our commonwealth’s transition to a clean energy future, Virginia must fully embrace these programs to become a climate leader and compete for jobs in the clean economy.

New federal policies can supercharge Virginia’s energy and climate goals
Please help keep this Site Going Skip to content By Mandy Warner It’s the beginning of a new year and this year – despite some opposition – can be the year Virginia turns the corner to embrace a clean energy economy future. Virginia has already taken critical steps in its clean energy transition to make communities more resilient and to address climate change.
Make no mistake: Current “regulatory reform” efforts in Pennsylvania could threaten vital environmental protections
By Mandy Warner Healthy air, clean drinking water and pollution-free lakes and rivers are, unsurprisingly, broadly supported priorities across Pennsylvania. Environmental regulations are put in place to protect these very priorities – to safeguard the health of Pennsylvania communities and their environment from toxic pollutants and other damages.
With strong climate policies, Governor Shapiro can help Pennsylvania win the future
By Mandy Warner As Pennsylvania turns a new page into 2023 with new leaders at the helm, Gov. Josh Shapiro and the legislature have an immense opportunity and responsibility to usher Pennsylvania into its future — winning the clean energy jobs the state needs, protecting consumers from fossil fuel-driven price shocks on their electric bills, and dramatically cutting the climate and air pollution that harms Pennsylvanians.
Virginians have spoken: The overwhelming majority oppose Governor Youngkin’s RGGI rollback
By Mandy Warner On December 7, the Virginia Air Board voted to proceed with a proposed regulation ending Virginia’s participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a proven program in 12 states that cuts pollution and raises investments for communities. Governor Youngkin initiated this harmful and unlawful rollback earlier this year, claiming that RGGI was a “bad deal” for Virginians.
Clean energy can power Virginia's future
As Virginians look for relief from the growing economic and air pollution impacts of climate change, new support from Congress in the way of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act offers the state a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create new jobs, protect our families' health and strengthen the infrastructure we depend on for water, energy, transportation and healthy communities. Make no mistake, we cannot afford to turn back now - this is the time to lean in.

Guest Opinion: PA can do right by fossil fuel workers while tackling climate change
This month, Homer City Generating Station, a coal-fired power plant in Indiana County, will lay off 43 of its employees to “preserve as many jobs as possible while continuing viable and safe operation of the plant,” according to an NRG energy spokesperson. This has been a familiar refrain in Pennsylvania over the past decade, where over 60 coal electricity generating units have retired since 2002.

Pennsylvania legislators seek to protect workers, ratepayers and our climate
By Mandy Warner / Bio / Published: August 25, 2020 As Gov. Tom Wolf and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) move forward to advance meaningful climate action in Pennsylvania, legislators are also stepping up with a new complementary bill.

Setting the Record Straight on the Benefits of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative
By Mandy Warner (Image from EDFCC jobs report) Protecting Pennsylvanians from COVID-19 and addressing the systemic racial injustices that plague our communities must be the top priorities of our elected officials right now. However, it’s critical lawmakers don’t lose sight of the escalating threats to our health and economy, including the pollution that impacts the safety and well-being of our families and communities.
Three reasons Pennsylvania must proceed with historic move to limit carbon pollution | Opinion
Gov. Tom Wolf signed an historic executive order in October directing the state’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to develop a standard that is compatible with the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a collaboration of ten northeastern states that is designed to lower carbon pollution from the power sector. That order followed Gov. Wolf’s commitment to reducing the state’s climate pollution by 26 percent by 2025 and 80 percent by mid-century, compared to 2005 levels.
Summer smog review: new analysis shows continued challenges to air quality
By Mandy Warner (This post was co-authored by EDF intern Jayne Stevenson) Summer brings sunshine, fun, and outdoor adventures – but unfortunately, it also brings smog that causes serious health problems for many American families. We have made significant progress delivering healthier summer air, but many families still find themselves sidelined by ground-level ozone pollution – commonly called smog. That pollution will be made even worse by climate change.

Cleaning the air saves lives and creates an engine for job growth
By Mandy Warner / Bio / Published: June 26, 2017 The Clean Air Act has a long, well-documented history of reducing pollution, and thus improving – and often even saving – lives in America. This bedrock law represents one of the greatest environmental and health success stories in the world. Gross Domestic Product in the U.S. has grown 246 percent over the life of the Clean Air Act while at the same time pollutants have been reduced 71 percent.
4 reasons Trump’s plan to gut mercury protections is a dangerous idea
Continuing the Trump administration’s assault against the environment, the acting head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Andrew Wheeler, is now taking aim at our Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. His move could topple national safeguards against pollution linked to cancer, lung disease and brain damage in babies. Wheeler is questioning the value of these widely supported and already fully implemented protections.
Five things you should know about the Trump Administrations latest assault on the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards
In 1990, while I was busy with kid priorities like learning to roller-skate, Congress was updating the Clean Air Act – kicking off a process to reduce mercury and other air toxic air pollution from coal-fired power plants. Fast-forward several decades to 2012, the year my first daughter was born, and we finally had the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards in effect.
Healthier, safer summers - brought to you by the EPA
We’ve longed to hear the waves crash, to see the kids play in the backyard sprinkler, to pack up the car for the annual camping trip. Few of us ever think about the fact that one government agency is working hard to keep our beaches, national parks and outdoor air healthier and safer during these wonderful summer months. Here are three ways the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency improves summers for all Americans – and what’s at stake this particular season.
Healthier, safer summers - brought to you by EPA
This weekend is Memorial Day – the unofficial start to summer. That means kids across the country – and adults too – are counting down the days until summer vacation. Whether your plans include going to a beach, visiting a national park, or just letting your kids play outside in the sprinklers, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plays an important role in making your summer healthier and safer – in ways you might not realize.
Good news: EPA standards could lower electricity bills
Millions of Americans are watching their bills more closely as middle-class incomes continue to stagnate in the nation's uneven economic recovery. So it's frustrating to hear opponents of climate action once again use the threat of higher electricity rates as a scare tactic to try to stop the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan. We know it has many people concerned. The good news is, we have more evidence than ever before to prove our opponents wrong.
