For more than 40 years, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has used the Clean Air Act to save lives, protect human health, and safeguard our environment.
But now, this critical piece of legislation is under attack, as is the very science upon which it is based.
- Representative Fred Upton (R-MI)
Take action today!
We need your help. Please urge your representative to stand up for science and the health of our families by opposing efforts to undermine the Clean Air Act.
The Clean Air Act was created to regulate dangerous pollutants and to implement a science-based method for the EPA to identify and address new threats to human health. In 2009, after conducting an exhaustive scientific review, the EPA concluded that global warming emissions threaten public health and welfare.
We cannot allow our elected officials to senselessly reject the EPA's scientific assessment that global warming emissions endanger the public. Nor can we allow them to roll back the hard-fought human health and environmental protections we've won in the last few years! Please take action today.
Amidst the inflammatory rhetoric of media personalities and polarizing politics found in our national and state capitols these days, it's becoming harder and harder to find leaders who are willing to stand up for science and for practical solutions to America's energy and climate challenges.
Please urge your representative to say no to this attack on science and human health by supporting efforts to protect the EPA's authority to reduce global warming emissions.
Sincerely,

Kate Abend
