New EPA "MATS" (Mercury and Air Toxics Standards) for power plants were just released. Almost every plant in the US has protected human health by installing the technology needed to meet these standards; Colstrip is one of the outliers. For the sake of public health, we do not want to see Congress repeal them. Please sign our petition to Montana's Congressional delegation here and help us protect Montana's healthy air.
Sixty-one people attended our second annual conference, this time in Billings! What a fantastic day of learning about health decarbonization, hospital sustainability, drought's effects on health, climate health communication, and public health.

Our Climate & Health banners have been floating all around this state this year, and we're grateful to everyone who has hosted them. Our six banners cover some of the most important topics for Montana's climate and health: climate change basics, extreme heat, wildfires, mental health, maternal health, and the role of health systems. If you would like to host the banners in your lobby, check them out here.
