Write a letter to the editor about awareness of detoriatating condition of air
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
There are numerous bills working their way through Congress that would gut, delay or weaken the Clean Air Act's ability to curb greenhouse gas pollution. A bill by Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) would exempt greenhouse gases from regulation under the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Endangered Species Act and other bedrock environmental laws, while a bill by Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W. Va.) would repeal Clean Air Act rules to curb carbon pollution for two years. HR 91, a bill by Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) that has already passed the house, would gut the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to reduce carbon dioxide and other dangerous pollutants.
Moreover, there have been a number of attempts to attach Clean Air Act-gutting policy moves to existing pieces of unrelated legislation — including budget legislation — as amendments.
Please take a minute to write a letter to the editor of your local news outlet to tell others that you oppose all moves to gut, weaken or delay the Clean Air Act's ability to curb carbon pollution — and email Climate Campaign Coordinator Rose Braz to let her know you're taking action. Below are some sample letters, and we'd be happy to help you locate the correct email addresses if needed.
