In 2023, dirty mine water gushed out of the ground behind James Christian’s home, flooding his yard in Wyoming County, West Virginia. Sinkholes formed, a strong sulfur-like odor lingered in the air and oily sheens began coating the creek. Residents have blamed the mine for contaminating their creek and making some of their neighbors sick. Since then, a lawsuit by state regulators sparked a court battle between three coal companies over the incident. Now, the state is responsible for cleaning up the mine and the damage it caused through a program that has historically been underfunded. Meanwhile, state regulators have also approved a new mine expansion over the objections of local residents. Indian Creek continues to run black and green, and sometimes the water has white streaks or slimy film. A number of water wells have gone bad. And the nauseating smell of rotten eggs has spread and is now palpable across the community. “To get to my house, just follow the smell,” Christian said. West Virginians could pay as clean up falls to the state In June, the agency revoked the mining permit associated with the former underground Pinnacle mine, and the permit is now under the responsibility of the Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Special Reclamation, according to agency spokesperson Terry Fletcher. The division is “currently formalizing a plan to complete reclamation of these sites that will include sealing the open mine shafts and management of the mine pool,” Fletcher said. The Office of Special Reclamation is responsible for cleaning up the land and water impacted by mining activities left behind by bankrupt coal companies. Under federal law, coal companies are required to post bonds in order to receive mining permits as a sort of insurance. If a company goes bankrupt, state regulators can use its bond money to clean up the mining sites, in addition to special funds dedicated to abandoned mine cleanups. However, neither funding source has kept up with the cost to fully cover reclamations. By forfeiting the company’s bond, the DEP collected nearly $1.5 million, which will be used to address the land and water issues caused by the Pinnacle Mining Complex. The state agency also secured an additional $1.9 million from the bankrupt coal company to put toward the clean up of the mine. The DEP anticipates that the $3.4 million will cover most of the land clean up and water treatment. Any additional funding that’s needed will be from state funds dedicated to clean up abandoned coal mines. In addition to sealing the open mine shafts, the DEP’s preliminary plan includes reducing the water levels in the mine before it discharges into Indian Creek, which the agency will continue to permit and monitor. This, the agency said, will address the water flowing out from underground as well as the bacterial and odor issues impacting the community. Christian’s wife, Tina, isn’t convinced the agency will be able to get rid of the smell. “If they do, it’ll be a miracle,” she said. Residents say mine contaminated their creek, regulators say otherwise The community has attributed a litany of problems to the creek, which they say is contaminated by the mine water. Rashes now spot Tereasa West’s chest and legs, Tina Christian still struggles to breathe, and her husband is now having issues with his thyroid. Wells have also gone bad, pumping out undrinkable water and leaving households dependent on bottled water. DEP has maintained that the water samples taken have shown that the discharge from the mine meets state and federal standards. The agency collaborated with both the state Department of Health and the Wyoming County Health Department and offered free well testing to households in the community. Twenty-five residents participated, and the results didn’t show evidence of mine-related contamination, said Fletcher. But residents have continued to complain, and voice distrust of the state. The DEP has requested assistance from the U.S. Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation, and Enforcement to investigate the community’s allegations of contaminated well water. A report on its finding will be released soon. But — regardless of the agency’s results — the community continues to say that there’s something wrong with their creek. While the water quality in the area has never been great, residents say it’s been noticeably worse since mine water erupted from underground. As a child, West grew up playing in the creek, but now, decades later, that’s not an option for her grandchildren. “I have lived on Indian Creek the majority of my life, and I have never in all these years ever seen Indian Creek waters in the condition that they are in now,” West said. And as residents in and around Indian Creek continue to wrestle with the smell and the discolored water, they worry things are going to get worse. Last month, the DEP approved a request by Brooks Run South Mining, LLC, to expand its underground Marianna Slope Mine in the Indian Creek area. Under the revised permit, the mine could discharge into several other waterways within Indian Creek. Community members criticize the decision as they continue to struggle with unusable water sources. Fletcher said that the mine must comply with its permit limits, and the DEP will enforce those limits if there are violations. But those assurances haven’t eased the community’s worries or the lack of confidence in the state agency. “We told them we didn’t want it to happen, and they did it anyway,” said Tina Christian. ___ This story was originally published by Mountain State Spotlight and distributed through a partnership with The Associated Press.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — There still are no protocols for attorneys to get in touch with clients at the immigration detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz,” and detainees are often transferred just before scheduled lawyer visits, according to new court papers alleging continued unconstitutional obstacles for meeting with legal representatives. Thursday’s court papers were filed in response to a transfer from Miami to Fort Myers of the federal lawsuit claiming detainees have been denied private meetings with immigration attorneys while being held at the facility built by the state of Florida in the Everglades wilderness. It also comes a week after a federal appellate court panel, in a separate environmental lawsuit, allowed operations to continue at the detention center by putting on hold a lower court’s preliminary injunction ordering the facility to wind down by the end of October. A third federal lawsuit challenging practices at the facility claims immigration is a federal issue and Florida agencies and the private contractors hired by the state have no authority to operate the facility. “Detained individuals have a First Amendment right to communicate with their attorneys in confidence,” lawyers said Thursday in the legal rights case. Related Stories Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz' faces closure after judge's ruling to shutdown within 2 months Feds urge Miami judge to delay closure of 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention center Judge to weigh detainees' legal rights at Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz' U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues to omit information about detainees at the facility from its online locator system “so attorneys cannot confirm whether detained clients are held at the facility.” During videoconferences with their lawyers, detainees are placed in cages that aren’t soundproof with staff in earshot, and documents for clients are subject to review by staff, the attorneys said. ▶ Stay up to date with the latest U.S. news by signing up to our WhatsApp channel. Unlike other detention facilities which don’t require prior appointments, at the Everglades facility, if lawyers want to meet in-person with their clients, they must schedule a meeting three days in advance. That gives the facility the opportunity to transfer out detainees, denying them legal access, they lawyers said. Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration in late June raced to build the facility on an isolated airstrip surrounded by wetlands to aid President Donald Trump’s efforts to deport people living in the U.S. illegally. Trump toured the facility in July and suggested it could be a model for future lockups around the nation as his administration pushes to expand the infrastructure needed to increase deportations. The center has been plagued by reports of unsanitary conditions and detainees being cut off from the legal system. Other states have since announced plans to open their own immigration detention centers. As part of the legal rights lawsuit, the attorneys for the detainees want to make a visit to the facility in mid-October, but the federal and state government defendants said it wasn’t necessary. The detainees’ attorneys also asked for permission to keep their clients anonymous in public court filings and to use pseudonyms instead. “At a time of increasingly violent anti-immigrant rhetoric in Florida and across the country, immigrants detained at Alligator Alcatraz are subjected to extreme vitriol, including from officials at the highest levels of government,” they wrote. ___ Follow Mike Schneider on the social platform Bluesky: @mikeysid.bsky.social

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency on Friday proposed doing away with a program that has required large, mostly industrial polluters to report their planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to the government. The program requires refineries, power plants, oil wells and landfills to report their emissions without risk of penalty as officials seek to identify high-polluting facilities and develop policies to lower emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Experts say the reporting held the companies publicly accountable for their emissions. Since the program began in 2009, U.S. industry has collectively reported a 20% drop in carbon emissions, mostly driven by the closure of coal-fired power plants. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin called the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program “burdensome” and unhelpful to improving human health and the environment. Removing the rule would save American businesses up to $2.4 billion in regulatory costs over 10 years while maintaining the agency’s statutory obligations under the Clean Air Act, Zeldin said. If finalized, the proposal would remove reporting obligations for most large industrial facilities in the United States, as well as fuel and industrial gas suppliers and carbon dioxide injection sites. Related Stories EPA cancels $7 billion Biden-era grant program to boost solar energy Connecticut saw decline in greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, residential heating in 2023 A study finds there is less room for carbon capture than previously believed “The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program is nothing more than bureaucratic red tape that does nothing to improve air quality,” Zeldin said in a statement. “It costs American businesses and manufacturing billions of dollars, driving up the cost of living, jeopardizing our nation’s prosperity and hurting American communities,’' he said. “With this proposal, we show once again that fulfilling EPA’s statutory obligations and Powering the Great American Comeback is not a binary choice.’' But experts say dropping the requirement — as Zeldin promised in March when he unleashed what he called the greatest day of deregulation in U.S. history — risks a big increase in emissions, since companies would no longer be publicly accountable for what they discharge into the air. And they say losing the data — at the same time the EPA is cutting air quality monitoring elsewhere — would make it tougher to fight climate change. Joseph Goffman, who led EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation under President Joe Biden, said eliminating the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program “blinds Americans to the facts about climate pollution. Without it, policymakers, businesses and communities cannot make sound decisions about how to cut emissions and protect public health.” By hiding pollution information from the public, “Administrator Zeldin is denying Americans the ability to see the damaging results of his actions on climate pollution, air quality and public health,” Goffman said, calling the plan “yet another example of the Trump administration putting polluters before people’s health.” David Doniger, a senior strategist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, called the proposal “a cynical effort to keep the American public in the dark, because if they don’t know who the polluters are, they can’t do anything to hold them responsible.” Big polluters may want to keep their climate pollution secret, he added, but the public, states and local policymakers “have depended on this data” for more than 15 years. Public accountability and pushback from investors have led many companies to reduce their climate pollution even before EPA sets stricter standards, Doniger said. But Zeldin said reducing the overall regulatory burden on U.S. industry will allow companies to “focus compliance expenditures on actual, tangible environmental benefits.” The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program covers 47 source categories and requires more than 8,000 facilities and suppliers in the U.S. to calculate their greenhouse gas emissions annually, Zeldin said. “Following a careful review, EPA proposed that there is no requirement under (the Clean Air Act) to collect GHG emission information from businesses, nor is continuing the ongoing costly data collection useful to fulfill any of the agency’s statutory obligations,’' he said. The EPA will accept public comments on the proposal for more than six weeks after the plan is published in the Federal Register, expected in coming days.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Philippine defense and military chiefs rejected a call for the country’s armed forces to withdraw support from President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in response to public outrage over allegations of massive corruption in flood control projects that have implicated several congressmen and public works officials and sparked pockets of street protests. Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro, Jr. and military chief of staff Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. issued a joint statement late Friday expressing their rejection of “all attempts to patronize the Armed Forces of the Philippines by certain groups that insinuate or suggest unconstitutional, unilateral interventions.” They did not elaborate, but underscored that the 160,000-member military was non-partisan, professional and “abides by the constitution through the chain-of-command.” The House of Representatives, the Senate and Marcos’ administration have been investigating alleged substandard and non-existent flood control projects in separate televised inquiries. Dozens of legislators, senators, construction companies and public works engineers were identified and accused of pocketing huge kickbacks that financed lavish lifestyles and high-stakes casino gambling. Related Stories 2 Philippine senators implicated in flood control corruption inquiry but deny allegations Philippine president and Congress investigate alleged corruption in flood control projects Testimony identifies legislators, officials in Philippine corruption inquiry The corruption scandal has been especially sensitive in a poverty-stricken Southeast country that is prone to deadly typhoons and floodings that devastate entire towns and villages multiple times each year. Unlike recent violent protests in Nepal and Indonesia, street rallies against alleged abuses in the Philippines have been smaller and relatively peaceful. Outrage is largely vented online, including by Catholic church leaders, business executives and retired generals. During a recent rally, a speaker called on the military to withdraw its loyalty from Marcos and called on Filipinos to stage a non-violent “people power” revolt similar to army-backed uprisings that ousted Ferdinand Marcos, the current president’s late father and namesake, in 1986 and Joseph Estrada in 2001. “At this critical juncture for our national security in the face of threats to our peace and regional stability, politically motivated attempts to distract the Armed Forces of the Philippines from focusing on its mission are not only futile but also irresponsible,” said Teodoro and Brawner, who backed the anti-corruption investigation led by Marcos. “The strength of our republic rests on the rule of law and the unity of our people,” they said. “At this crucial time, we call on every Filipino to place their trust in our democratic institutions, to respect our processes.” Two high-ranking national security and defense officials told The Associated Press there was no currently monitored threat of secessionism within the military and the police forces. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of a lack of authority to discuss the delicate issue publicly. A confidential government security assessment seen by The AP said groups opposed politically to Marcos were joining the public outrage over the flood control corruption, but added that a major “people power” uprising was highly unlikely without support from key groups led by the military. “Drastic movements in the military and other uniformed service are very unlikely due to strong loyalty and patriotism … to constitution, the flag, and the president,” according to the intelligence assessment. The Philippines has spent an estimated 545 billion pesos ($9.6 billion) for thousands of flood mitigation projects in the last three years. The projects were under government review to determine which ones are substandard or non-existent as Marcos said he has found during recent inspections he led in some flood-prone provinces, including in Bulacan, a densely populated province north of Manila. Marcos formed an independent commission to investigate the massive anomalies he described as “horrible” and prompted him to withhold fundings for flood control projects at least for next year and accept the resignation of the public works secretary.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The fate of a key California climate program Gov. Gavin Newsom has championed as a crucial tool to respond to the Trump administration’s environmental rollbacks is in the hands of state lawmakers. The Democrat-dominated Legislature is slated to vote Saturday on whether to extend the state’s cap-and-trade program, which is set to expire after 2030. The program, which launched in 2013, allows major greenhouse gas emitters to buy emission allowances from the state, with fewer available over time. Revenues fund climate change mitigation, affordable housing and transportation projects, as well as utility bill credits for Californians. Newsom, a Democrat, and legislative leaders, who said months ago they would prioritize reauthorizing the program, almost ran out of time to introduce the proposal before the statehouse wraps for the year. “After months of hard work with the Legislature, we have agreed to historic reforms that will save money on your electric bills, stabilize gas supply, and slash toxic air pollution — all while fast-tracking California’s transition to a clean, green job-creating economy,” Newsom said after striking the deal this week. Related Stories California Democrats push to redraw congressional districts Trump administration report on climate change and public health faces scrutiny EPA wants to roll back greenhouse gas reports from polluters The proposal would reauthorize the program through 2045, better align the declining cap on emissions with the state’s climate targets and potentially boost carbon removal projects. It would also change the name to “cap and invest” to emphasize its funding of climate programs. ▶ Stay up to date with the latest U.S. news by signing up to our WhatsApp channel. The Legislature will vote on another bill committing annual funding from the program’s revenues. It includes $1 billion for the state’s long-delayed high-speed rail project, $800 million for an affordable housing program, $250 million for community air protection programs and $1 billion for the Legislature to decide on annually. The votes come as officials contend with balancing the state’s ambitious climate goals and the cost of living. California has some of the highest utility and gas prices in the country. Officials face increased pressure to stabilize the cost and supply of fuel amid the planned closures of two oil refineries that make up roughly 18% of the state’s refining capacity, according to energy regulators. Proponents of the extension say it will give companies certainty over the program’s future. The state lost out on $3.6 billion in revenues over the past year and a half, largely due to uncertainty, according to a report from Clean and Prosperous California, a group of economists and lawyers supporting the program. Some environmentalists say the Trump administration’s attacks on climate programs, including the state’s first-in-the-nation ban on the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035, added urgency to the reauthorization effort. Cap and trade is an important cost-effective tool for curbing carbon emissions, said Katelyn Roedner Sutter, the California state director for the Environmental Defense Fund. “Supporting this program and making this commitment into the future is extremely important — now more than ever,” she said. But environmental justice advocates opposing the proposal say it doesn’t go far enough and lacks strong air quality protections for low-income Californians and communities of color more likely to live near major polluters. “This really continues to allow big oil to reduce their emissions on paper instead of in real life,” said Asha Sharma, state policy manager at the Leadership Council for Justice and Accountability. Critics have also said it will increase the cost of living. “This moving forward, instead of lowering costs, it makes California even more expensive,” Republican state Sen. Tony Strickland said. “They’re raising the price of energy and gas and goods and services.” Cap and trade has increased gas costs by about 26 cents per gallon, according to a February report from the Independent Emissions Advisory Committee, a group of experts that analyzes the program. It’s played “a very small role” in increasing electricity prices because the state’s grid isn’t very carbon intensive, the report says. Lawmakers and lobbyists criticized the governor and legislative leaders for rushing the deal through with little public input. Ben Golombek, executive vice president of the California Chamber of Commerce, said at a hearing this week that the Legislature should have taken more time “to do this right.” Democratic state Sen. Caroline Menjivar said it shouldn’t be par for the course for lawmakers to jam through bills without the opportunity for amendments. “We’re expected to vote on it,” she said of Democrats. “If not, you’re seen to not be part of the team or not want to be a team player.” Menjivar ultimately voted to advance the bill out of committee. Energy affordability and fuel supply The cap-and-trade bills are part of a sweeping package aimed at advancing the state’s energy transition and lowering costs for Californians. One of the bills would streamline permits for oil production in Kern County, which proponents have hailed as a necessary response to planned refinery closures and critics have blasted as a threat to air quality. Another would increase requirements for air monitoring in areas overburdened by pollution and codify a bureau within the Justice Department created in 2018 to protect communities from environmental injustices. The state could refill a fund that covers the cost of wildfire damage caused by utility companies and set up public financing to build electric utility projects. Lawmakers will also vote on a measure allowing the state’s grid operator to partner with a regional group to manage power markets in western states. The bill aims to improve grid reliability. It would save ratepayers money because California would sell power to other states when it generates more than it needs and buy cheaper energy from out of state when necessary, the governor’s office said.

Nuclear energy and natural gas will still be considered environmentally sustainable investments in the European Union following a court ruling Wednesday, potentially driving massive amounts of financing toward projects that are not widely considered “green.” Austria had sued the European Commission, the bloc’s executive, over the inclusion of gas and nuclear in the EU’s classification system for environmentally sustainable economic activities. The system helps direct investments to the projects that are most needed to cut planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions. The General Court at the European Court of Justice on Thursday ruled in favor of the commission, dismissing Austria’s action. Nuclear power is a carbon-free source of electricity but it is not typically labeled as green energy, like solar, wind and other renewables. Generating power this way requires mining and processing uranium to create nuclear fuel, an energy-intensive process that produces emissions. Nuclear reactors generate radioactive waste and there’s a risk of accidents. Natural, or fossil, gas has lower carbon emissions than coal, but it still warms the planet when burned to produce electricity. Related Stories European Union scientists say last month was the third-warmest July on record Connecticut saw decline in greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, residential heating in 2023 IAEA chief Rafael Grossi gets special police protection over threats The commission said that the court confirmed the legality of the way the sustainability criteria were set. European companies are increasingly using the classification system to plan their green investments totaling hundreds of billions of euros, according to the commission. The European Union aims to be “climate-neutral” by 2050, an economy where the amount of greenhouse gases produced is no more than the amount removed from the atmosphere. The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union established a framework in 2020 to direct investment in ways that help mitigate or adapt to climate change. In 2022, the European Commission adopted a regulation to include certain activities in the nuclear energy and fossil gas sectors, as transitional ways to accelerate progress to climate neutrality. It was an acknowledgement of how countries have different energy mixes and were at different starting points in deploying renewables at scale. Austria sought to have that regulation annulled. Leonore Gewessler filed the suit in 2022 while serving as Austria’s environment minister because she said the regulation was “opening the door to the greenwashing of climate-harming and dangerous technologies.” Austria does not have any operational nuclear power plants. Luxembourg supported Austria’s case. The commission was supported by Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland. The court found that the commission did not exceed its authority by including nuclear energy and gas. The court endorsed the view that economic activities in the nuclear energy and gas sectors can, under certain conditions, contribute substantially to climate change mitigation and adaptation. The Brussels-based trade association for the nuclear energy industry in Europe, “nucleareurope,” said being in the taxonomy can help encourage private investments in nuclear projects. Now the parliamentary leader of the Austrian Greens, Gewessler called on the Austrian government to appeal. She said an enormous amount of funding is at stake, which should go into safe renewables, not into risky and costly reactors. “This ruling sends a disastrous signal to the entire EU,” Gewessler said in a statement Wednesday. “If this decision stands, it undermines a fundamental principle: where it says green, it is no longer truly green. Those seeking green investments may end up supporting nuclear power or dirty gas.” ___ AP writer Sam McNeil contributed to this report from Brussels. ___ The Associated Press’ climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, Calif. (AP) — When sculptor Bobby Zokaites moved to Phoenix in the summer of 2011, walking the half mile to classes at Arizona State University in triple-digit heat felt risky. He learned to find shade along his route — resting in a stoplight’s sliver of it, dodging the sizzling sun at each opportunity. “It was pretty crazy,” he recalled. Those experiences influenced one of Zokaites’ latest projects: he was one of nine artists commissioned this year to bring shade to the region. Across the U.S., cities are weaving art, science and community engagement to protect people from extreme heat and communicate its risks. As cities adapt to hotter temperatures, driven by human-caused climate change, and contend with urban heat, shade is playing a critical role. But communicating heat risks and safety can be challenging. That’s where art comes in. It can engage, bring hope and even enhance how cool someone feels. Shade “can be much more than functional,” said David Hondula, Phoenix’s director of heat response and mitigation. “It can enrich our public spaces.” Cities across the U.S. are combining art with shade to shield people from rising temperatures and educate them about our warming world. (AP Video: Thomas Machowicz. Produced by Julián Trejo Bax) Art and shade in one of America’s hottest cities At one park in Phoenix, a large awning is held up with panels of dazzling colors. On them are painted whimsical creatures called “alebrijes” from Mexican folk art, and the structure contains a solar-powered misting system. At another, a canopy decorated with colorful drawings uses reflective paint and an ultraviolet resistant canvas. These are part of Phoenix’s temporary public art pieces created with help from locals. Each was unveiled during a community event featuring information about shade and heat safety, along with free cooling towels and sunscreen. “The more you know and the more you can recognize your own body’s response, the better you can take care of yourself,” said Carrie Brown, deputy director for the city’s office of art and culture.

Studies show that shade significantly reduces air and surface temperature and how intensely people feel heat. In a city that’s averaged in the last decade more than 115 days annually with day temperatures past 100 F (38 C), cooling shade can be lifesaving. Shade can feel even cooler when combined with beauty. One study in Phoenix, co-authored by Hondula, found that people rated aesthetically pleasing bus stops as being cooler than less beautiful ones. In another from Hong Kong, findings suggested that people had a higher heat tolerance when they perceived their environment as quiet and beautiful. In Cambridge, Massachusetts, a place accustomed to dreary winters but not heat, a project titled “ Shade is Social Justice ” is helping the city convey heat dangers and safety with creative designs. One installation features hanging flowers that open when temperatures hit 85 F (29 C), signaling to people to cool down with water and shade, said Claudia Zarazua, the city’s art and cultural planning director. Technology gathers human data without exposing people to heat On a recent afternoon in Phoenix, ASU doctoral student Muhammad Abdullah rolled an advanced mobile weather station called MaRTy 3D+ next to a shade art installation in Cielito Park. He measured temperature, humidity, wind and radiation, then estimating what could be happening to a person’s body in both the shade and in direct sun light.

The change did not significantly affect core temperature, but skin temperature decreased immediately. When MaRTy3D+ returned to the sun, skin temperature rose again. MaRTy 3D+'s ability to model and measure how different people thermoregulate is unique. It can tell researchers, for instance, the skin and core temperature as well as cardiac strain in someone who is elderly or on a specific medication, explained Jennifer Vanos, associate professor at ASU who studies heat’s impacts on the human body and how to mitigate them. This technology allows them to collect real-time data in sometimes risky situations without impacting humans. They’re using their findings to make recommendations to the city. Highlighting shade inequity and solutions Edith de Guzman, a cooperative extension researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, has spent years researching how to increase shade in communities most impacted by heat. With colleagues, she’s also quantified that shade can reduce up to 25% of heat-related deaths in LA and up to 66% of heat-related emergency room visits. When the opportunity emerged to curate an art exhibit about shade and who lacks access to it, she and her husband took it. “Roots of Cool: A Celebration of Trees and Shade in a Warming World” takes visitors into the past, present and future roles of shade in LA with textiles, paintings, mixed media, interactive maps, suspended multicolored umbrellas and more. Their goal is not just to highlight the issue, but also show the general public that solutions exist, de Guzman said. A three-part installation by artist Leslie K. Gray invites visitors to consider the past, current and future experiences of public transportation users in the city. Each features a silhouetted woman waiting at a bus stop with either no shade, a little bit or ample amounts. The bus stop signs include facts about the dangers of heat, the benefits of shade and the disparate access to it.
