From an email:
“Climate change means out summers are getting too hot. So let’s cool off. Next week, The Climate Reality Project is giving away free Ben & Jerry’s in DC (and in three other cities) to raise awareness for climate action.
From July 29-31, the EPA will hear from the public on the proposed Clean Power Plan – a rule that attempts to reduce carbon pollution from power plants. One of the hearings will be here in DC.
These ice cream trucks will not only be handing out free scoops, but also serve as climate action centers that will raise awareness and gather support for climate action and the proposed EPA rule.
You can find the trucks on:
Monday, July 28 from 11am-4pm at the Capital South Station
Monday, July 28 from 4-8pm at Union Station
Tuesday, July 29 from 8:30am-1pm at the EPA Headquarters (William Jefferson Clinton East Building, 1201 Constitution Ave, NW)
Tuesday, July 29 from 1-6pm at the Freedom Plaza.”

Updates when it starts to rain.
Ed. Note: Just kidding, there will be no updates when it starts raining. Having said that, if a crazy big tree falls or Bloomingdale floods there will be updates. Stay tuned, possibly.
UPDATE: A reader sends this Tree down on a T Street sidewalk between 13th and 14th St, NW:
So many awesome photos from last night – here’s a few more.

From DPW:
“The DC Department of Public Works announced today that its trash and recycling crews will begin their collections an hour earlier, at 6 am, Tuesday, July 2 due to predicted 90°+ temperatures.
DPW will observe Independence Day, July 4, so Friday’s collections “slide” to Saturday, July 5. Residents may put their trash and recyclables out for pick-up starting at 6:30 pm the day before their collections. Trash and recycling containers should be removed from public space by 8 pm on the collection day.
Throughout the summer, when the temperature is predicted to be 90˚ or higher or the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments announces unhealthy air quality (Code Orange or Code Red days), DPW collection crews will begin their work at 6 am to avoid health or environmental issues.”
“All outdoor pools are open six days a week, and are closed one day for cleaning and maintenance.”
