This is exactly the kind of grounding and nourishment we need to help us start this week. Find the recipe here:

Like true-crime stories? Wait until you hear about Big Oil and their #ZombieWells. After earning record profits from polluting oil & gas wells, Big Oil leaves CA taxpayers to clean up their mess. Thousands of "zombie wells" are leaking polluting chemicals into the air and soil, wreaking havoc on the health of communities of color, and fueling global warming. With a #JustTransition of oil industry workers into green jobs, we can ensure these zombie wells are cleaned & c...losed...for good! Learn more: cleanbreak.info/oil-well-remediation/

"Tales of this buried secret bubbling under the sea had haunted him for years: a largely unknown chapter in the most infamous case of environmental destruction off the coast of Los Angeles one lasting decades, costing tens of millions of dollars, frustrating generations of scientists.

Thank you Supervisor Janice Hahn for voting to enact a #JustTransitionLA to #CleanUpOilWells. This is what climate AND labor leadership looks like!

Great news! California passed an ambitious recycling law requiring billions of soda, juice, and other plastic bottles to contain 50% recycled plastic! https://www.mercurynews.com/california-passes-first-in-nati

Leaked documents show Exxon's strategy to increase annual CO2 emissions by as much as the entire output of GREECE. We're in a climate emergency and we need a #JustTransition NOW.

Unless California takes action, CRC, the state's biggest oil producer will walk away from bankruptcy leaving workers behind AND making taxpayers hold the bill for $900 million in well cleanup costs. #CleanUpOilWells #JustTransition Read the new analysis from Sierra Club here:

Happy October 1st! From where will you be watching tonight's #HarvestMoon?

We hope LA City Council follows the lead of our Board of Supervisors, who have approved a #JustTransitionLA plan to clean up oil wells! Will Councilmembers Herb Wesson and Nury Martinez do the same for LA County?

VICTORY: Today, LA County Supervisors voted unanimously (5-0) to start #JustTransitionLA beginning with figuring out the plan to put people to work to #CleanUpOilWells. This is a HUGE victory for workers, our health, and environment in #LACounty! Read more: www.sierraclub.org//los-angeles-county-forms-just-transiti
