Before
you dig into our last newsletter of 2025 below, I’d like to take
a moment to reflect on the past year. 2025 has been marked by the
most significant rollback of environmental protections we've ever
witnessed.

The Trump administration capped off the year with schemes to
dramatically weaken the Endangered Species Act, gut the Clean
Water Act, and allow new oil and gas drilling across nearly 1.3
billion acres of U.S. coastal waters.

You and NRDC’s 3 million other
supporters have responded in force — generating hundreds of
thousands of public comments pushing back against these
anti-environmental assaults.

When you submit a comment, you help
shape policy and defend our environment — probably more than you
even know. Your comments become part of the official record that
federal agencies must consider. And if they ignore serious
concerns, that gives NRDC the legal footing we need to challenge
them in court.

I hope you’ll consider making a
tax-deductible donation to continue powering this advocacy, our
legal challenges to the Trump administration’s rollbacks, and the
science that underpins all of our work. Your year-end gift will
be matched $1-for-$1, up to $865,000. ( [link removed] )

ACTION SPOTLIGHT

Protect the Rules That Save Drivers
Billions of Dollars

On Wednesday, the Trump administration
announced their plan to roll back rules that make cars and trucks
go farther on a gallon of gas.

The average car’s gas mileage has nearly tripled in the last 50
years, thanks to these rules. That means fewer trips to the gas
station, more money in your pocket, and significantly slashing
pollution that dirties the air and hurts the climate.

Weakening these rules would cost
drivers more at the pump just to line the pockets of oil and gas
executives.

The Trump administration is accepting
public comments on this proposed rollback. Submit your comment by
Jan. 20 to support lifesaving standards that help lower fuel
costs for drivers and protect us from pollution. ( [link removed] )

Public comments are a critical tool to ensure government
decisions follow the law — and when NRDC members and activists
speak up, it helps us build a strong legal case to hold federal
agencies accountable.

CAMPAIGN UPDATE

The Issue with Tissue: The Sustainable
Buyer’s Guide

Hosting for the holidays? As you stock up
on toilet paper, tissue boxes, and paper towels, it’s worth
knowing that many popular brands still rely on wood pulp from
centuries-old trees chopped down in places like the boreal forest
of Canada — harming its wildlife, its vast stores of carbon that
help protect against climate change, and the communities and
people who depend on the forest.

The good news is that not all tissue
products are created equally. NRDC’s latest Issue with Tissue
scorecard reveals which brands embrace sustainable alternatives
by using recycled materials or responsibly sourced bamboo, and
which products (like P&G’s Charmin) use forest fiber and are
better to avoid.

NRDC’s new edition of The Issue with
Tissue scorecard is out just in time for holiday shopping. Check
it out to see which brands are at the top of our list — so you
can make choices that are easy on you and easier on the planet. ( [link removed] )

NRDC and Groups Sue the Trump
Administration to Halt Illegal Offshore Drilling

NRDC and other environmental groups
filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging the Trump
administration’s decision to open 80 million acres of the Gulf of
Mexico to the fossil fuel industry, jeopardizing marine and
coastal wildlife and their habitat along with communities and the
climate. This case takes on an even greater importance following
the administration’s devastating proposal last month to open over
a billion acres of our ocean off the coasts of California,
Alaska, Florida, and the Gulf for drilling. Read more > ( [link removed] )
