The Biden administration just ended all new coal leasing in the largest-producing area of the U.S.
Effectively signaling and end to the coal industry, the Bureau of Land Management just announced it would and all new coal leasing in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana.
While the decision is expected to face protests from the industry, environmental groups have long been fighting for an end to issuing new leases in the region. The federal agency's latest study found that new leases would have "significant impacts on human health and the climate."
While coal companies can still develop on already-issued leases, environmentalists celebrated the decision, saying it would result in six billion tons of "highly polluting coal" staying in the ground.

Correction: Last week, we shared an article about a new study that found a herd of bison could store the carbon emission equivalent of 2 million cars. After the article was published, researchers of that study reported a coding error in their original metrics — instead of 2 million, the correct figure is 43,000 cars. We've updated the article accordingly!

Looking for the Helpers

A woman in Edinburgh repairs others' clothes for free — and has built an army of 'street stitchers' across the city
Mary Morton hasn't purchased any new clothes for five years — a decision she made after learning more about the impact of textiles on the environment.
Beyond making the personal decision to reduce her consumption by wearing and repairing what was already in her coset, Morton decided to make an even bigger impact. She goes out into the parks and streets of Edinburgh to offer free clothing repairs for people passing by.
And her impact is going even further: she's recruited a team of 49 other "street stitchers" to offer repairs, and each have their own particular mending skills. Morton also teaches others how to sew and mend their own clothes.
Morton was inspired by another helper, Suzi Warren, who started London's street stitching movement by sitting outside major retailers and educating folks about repairing, rather than continuing to buy environmentally damaging fast fashion.
