Don't Muddy the Clean Air Act

The Environmental Defense Action Fund is asking people to send their senate representatives the following message: I am writing to urge you to oppose any and all legislative efforts to eliminate, delay, or constrain the Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to protect Americans from climate pollution as authorized under the Clean Air Act.

America's clean air laws have worked for 40 years to protect millions of Americans from exposure to dangerous air pollution. And they have saved lives.

A new study finds that premature deaths linked to pollution from coal-fired power plants have been reduced by more than 56% over the last decade, from more than 30,000 deaths every year in 2000 to about 13,200 today. That's still too many, and tougher pollution limits will help protect more American lives.

Please stand up to the big polluters and oppose efforts to delay or constrain the EPA's climate work.

I included the following personal message: "The air is not ours to pollute. The water is not ours to infest. The earth is not ours to damage. We are merely guests on this planet and our destructively rude behavior will not only make our stay uncomfortable, unbearable and eventually fatal, it will leave no home for future passersby..."

To take action clink here!
