As climate change continues to impact communities across the U.S., journalists play a major role in communicating about climate to the public—whether it’s explaining nuanced policy or advising about how to manage climate impacts. Amanda Eggert, Cami Koons, Delaney Dryfoos, Elise Schmelzer, Joan Meiners and Teri Hayt provide insight into parts of the country that are actively on the battleground of the climate conversation and those coming around to recognize the issue’s importance.

Big week for client American Giant! Proud we've been working with Bayard Winthrop and team since the very beginning.
This morning, American Giant announced a partnership with Walmart to offer American Made T-Shirts in 1,700 of their stores starting 4th of July weekend. I have always believed that making and buying things in this country should not be the exclusive domain of the premium end of the market. Until now, we’ve struggled to find a way to offer a compelling domestically made product to value shoppers. Walmart has offered us a chance to realize this dream. As the largest retailer in the world, Walmart provides a vast reach we could never achieve on our own. And through its large volume commitments, we are able to work with our supply chain partners to make the investments to improve capacity and cost-efficiency, while creating competitive jobs. Through its American Lighthouses initiative, Walmart has committed to finding and investing in US manufacturing suppliers. We are proud and excited to be one of their key partners. While not made to the same specifications as the clothes you’ll find on our site or in our stores, we believe the T-shirts we are selling through Walmart are a testament to what can be achieved when you combine the skill and dedication of the American worker, the determination of the entrepreneurs who employ them, and the foresight and vision of American corporate giants like Walmart. Our mission remains the same: Build the best clothes in the world here at home at price points that work for all Americans. Today marks a significant milestone on that journey. #AmericanGiant #Walmart #AmericanMade #MadeinUSA

And it’s working: Sublime was recently awarded $87 million in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and has created partnerships with industry stalwarts like BOSTON SAND & GRAVEL CO.
