Support EPA's Proposal to Limit Industrial Carbon Pollution
For the first time ever, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could put limits on the industrial carbon pollution that fuels global warming, makes smog worse and threatens the health of children and the elderly -- and you can help make it happen.
The EPA has taken an important first step by proposing a new standard to limit carbon pollution from new power plants. But this is just a down payment. Existing coal-fired power plants account for the largest chunk of carbon dioxide pollution emitted by stationary sources in the US, which is roughly on a par with the carbon dioxide pollution emitted by the entire transportation sector.
We need to build strong support for EPA's proposal on new plants to ensure that there will be political support for taking the next step -- controlling carbon pollution from existing power plants!
Send a powerful message to let the EPA know you want them to support people not polluters!
I support the EPA's proposed standard to limit carbon pollution from new power plants. I also urge the EPA to move forward with carbon pollution standards for existing plants. Industrial carbon pollution spewing from power plants threatens our health. It fuels global warming, which increases smog, making it harder for children to breathe, and permanently damaging our lungs.
I urge the EPA to clean up carbon pollution from new and existing power plants because it will protect Americans' health, spur investment in clean energy and unleash American innovation.
We need to put people before polluters. That's why I stand beside the EPA to clean up our air.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
