UC Merced student Martin Figueroa spearheaded a campus movement to reduce water use. In 2011, he organized the "UC Merced Water Battle," a month-long competition involving over 600 students across residence halls. Utilizing real-time monitoring, participants collectively cut water use by 14 percent, saving 89,000 gallons.

Figueroa is now encouraging other UC campuses to implement similar "Water Battles" to expand conservation efforts.

Join medical doctors Rob and Lori Byron, co-leaders of CCL's Health Action Team, for a webinar exploring the health implications of climate policy. They discuss Dr. Shindell's testimony on the health and economic benefits of a 2ºC climate policy, emphasizing how the Energy Innovation Act can improve health and save 4.5 million American lives over 50 years by reducing air pollution. Poor air quality contributes to 1 in 10 American deaths and sickens thousands.

Rising greenhouse gas concentrations harm human health, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, frontline communities, and individuals with asthma or cardiovascular disease.

The pandemic exposed severe flaws in the U.S. food system, from worker exploitation and food insecurity to environmental abuses. These issues were exacerbated by long-standing ties between industry and government, harming workers, animals, and biodiversity.

Join our webinar to discuss creating a more secure, just, and wildlife-friendly food system. Featuring Senior Food Campaigner Jennifer Molidor, Environmental Health Program Director Lori Ann Burd, and Senior Attorney Hannah Connor, we'll explore solutions. Positive changes are emerging, with reduced meat/dairy consumption, local governments embracing dietary shifts, and a more inclusive food movement.

Over a billion pounds of pesticides are used in the U.S. annually, with a quarter banned in the EU due to safety concerns. Despite this, the EPA has for decades failed to assess their impacts on endangered species, human health, and pollinators, even permitting their use on public lands.

Join the Center for an hour to learn how we protect vulnerable people and wildlife from these dangerous chemicals, and discover how you can help. The presentation will feature environmental health director Lori Ann Burd and senior scientist Dr. Nate Donley.

Meat and dairy production significantly contributes to global wildlife extinctions and the climate crisis. This industry consumes 30% of the Earth’s surface and 80% of U.S. agricultural land, while also being a major source of air and water pollution.

This week's conversation will explore our efforts to protect human health and the environment from this powerful industry. Topics will include COVID-19 in slaughterhouses, policy impacts, dangers to wildlife and workers, dietary choices, and the rise of meatless alternatives. Senior attorney Hannah Connor, population and sustainability director Stephanie Feldstein, and environmental health director Lori Ann Burd will lead the discussion.

This visualization illustrates the rise in global temperatures from 1880 through the end of 2013. NASA scientists report that 2013 tied for the seventh warmest year since 1880, continuing a significant long-term warming trend. Notably, with the exception of 1998, the ten warmest years on record have all occurred since 2000, with 2010 and 2005 ranking as the hottest.

The visualization displays a running five-year average global temperature, compared to a 1951-1980 baseline. A color-coded map shows surface temperature anomalies, with red indicating higher and blue indicating lower than normal temperatures. Credits include Animator Lori Perkins, Producer Leslie McCarthy, and Scientists James Hansen Ph.D. and Patrick Lynch.

On March 7, 2017, Arctic sea ice reached a record low winter maximum, according to NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). This followed a warm winter. Globally, combined Arctic and Antarctic sea ice levels hit their lowest point since satellite measurements began in 1979, specifically on February 13.
