EPA is proposing to abandon its responsibility to control carbon pollution from power plants. The agency is wiping away carbon pollution controls & proposing to get rid of past & future rules. Urge EPA to protect our health and drop this deadly proposal: on.lung.org/4i6lGHY

The American Lung Association, in partnership with Airgle, is working to educate communities and support cleaner air in schools where children, educators and families need it most. Clean air isn’t optional; it’s essential.

Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is holding a hearing on their proposed repeal of greenhouse gas standards for power plants. Several members of our staff are testifying in opposition to this proposal.

Liz Scott: "EPA saying that reducing carbon emissions wouldn't have an impact on climate change is contrary to the conclusions drawn by scientists, researchers and experts in the field of climate change."

Tiffany Nichols: "Our #StateOfTheAir Report continues to show that millions of Americans are exposed to unhealthy levels of ozone and particle pollution... Climate-driven increases in extreme heat, wildfire smoke and air pollution are threatening lung health across the country."

Diana Van Vleet: "Summers have become awful... My children can’t go out to play most summer days. In addition to the heat & bad air quality, ticks are popping up everywhere. I did not let my children play in the woods, which was one of the things I loved most growing up."

Will Barrett: "The Lung Association and leading health and medical organizations are unified in strong opposition to EPA’s devastating proposals... The proposal comes despite the evidence that climate change represents a clear danger to public health & welfare."
