Tell the EPA It’s Time to Restore Clean Air Protections

From the Environmental Defense Fund (https://www.edf.org/):

Cleaning up our transportation system is critical to putting ourselves back on the path to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 — and the Biden Administration is taking the steps necessary to get us there.

Tell the EPA to restore clean air protections now at https://act.edf.org/ayhuvli.

On day one of his presidency, President Biden promised bold action to reverse the previous administration’s illegal attack on states’ authority under the Clean Air Act to adopt stronger vehicle pollution standards than those set by the federal government.

But this is only possible if the Environmental Protection Agency overturns dangerous Trump policies! Tell the EPA to restore state leadership on vehicle pollution regulation.

Before the Trump policies attacking state Clean Car Standards, 15 states had already adopted progressive policies to curb climate pollution from cars. EPA’s decision to rescind the Trump policy that undermined these rights will be pivotal for these states and for the additional states looking to push ahead with more ambitious clean vehicle initiatives and go even further than the federal government.

When states implement stricter transportation standards at the local level we’re able to reduce health-harming and climate pollution, cut fuel prices and drive innovation for zero-emission vehicles — protecting our environment now and for future generations to come.

As support for transformative clean car standards grows, we face an incredible opportunity. Together, we can put a million Americans to work building the pollution-free cars that will make our air safer to breathe and steer us away from the climate emergency cliff. We must urge EPA to restore state authority and move swiftly to adopt new national pollution standards that will set us on the path to a fully zero-emission transportation sector by 2050.

Let’s get the U.S. back on track to protect clean air in our communities and help alleviate the ongoing climate crisis. Raise your voice and tell the EPA to reverse the previous administration’s harmful, illegal attack on state clean car standards!
