The need to clean up air pollution and address climate change is more urgent than ever. Thankfully, strong rules to do just that are currently on the books. Now we need your help to keep them from getting rolled back.
In 2023 and 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency finalized several key clean air and climate protections, including:
Tighter limits on mercury and air toxics from power plants
- Limits on the carbon pollution that drives climate change from power plants
- Strong new limits on methane pollution from the oil and gas industry
- An updated national standard for particle pollution
- New cleaner cars standards
- New cleaner trucks standards
These are big wins for health, and we’re proud to have advocated for them. We worked with health organizations, health professionals and advocates all over the country to push EPA to finalize these rules. Not surprisingly, these rules are popular. We conducted polls that show that the public supports cleaning up power plants and reducing emissions from new cars and trucks.
But now, there’s work to do to make sure they don’t get blocked, rolled back or weakened. Join us in calling for our decision-makers to keep protecting lung health and ensuring air pollution cleanup.
