I love your weekly list, Jessica! What is ESG? As in "Companies with higher ESG ratings...."

Oregon's terrific Senator Jeff Merkley says 'fossil gas' instead of 'natural gas.' Any chance you would use this term, too?

Yes actually we're supposed to refer to it as methane, because that's what it actually is. Natural gas is an industry greenwashing term. I must remember to do that. As for ESG, see below!

It's incredible. I keep reporting and blocking them, and they keep showing up under new names. Thanks for reporting it too.

Jessica, I don’t care what anybody says about Gavin Newsom but he is by far, one of the most effective governors we have ever had! So important that he has filed this lawsuit against big oil as they continue to pollute our waterways and our bodies. I live in a town with a refinery in Northern CA. We have had 3 incidences already this year. I am on a committee that has formally approached the refinery, the county health department, the state and the FBI. We are being listened to. I am not one of the leads by any stretch, but participate as a very concerned citizen.

Ciao from Italy to all Jessica Craven fans! Two important days this week - first Tuesday September 19 is National Voter Registration Day. Make sure you, your loved ones and friends are all registered to vote! You can go to https://www.vote.org to check your status. Second Saturday September 23 is "Ballot Drop Day" for those of us living or studying abroad, this is the day that our ballots for upcoming elections must be sent to us by our voting states. We get our ballots 45 days before the election so that we can be sure to get our votes back in time to be counted! If you know someone who is living abroad send them to https://votefromabroad.org for more information.

It was Rosh Haashana; so having a Climate change March was sort of rude

Jeez. What the heck could their objection be? And he's a Democrat, too. Awful.
