Congress: Protect the Air We Breathe, Defend Clean Vehicle Standards

When I was young there was no lichen in my area. Lichen is susceptible to air pollution and the air was just too bad. That has changed!

Write today to urge your member of Congress to defend our right to clean, breathable air by opposing any attempts to repeal key components of the Clean Air Act through the Congressional Review Act.

"The first #EarthDay in 1970 sparked a movement in the #UnitedStates that led to the #CleanAirAct, the #CleanWaterAct and the creation of the #EnvironmentalProtectionAgency. Today, the U.S. may be run by those who seem willing to squander the #economicopportunities of the #greeneconomy, but #cities around the world are already seizing them."

#EPA launches full assault on #environmental protection

If there can be such a thing as bureaucratic “shock and awe,” EPA Admin Lee Zeldin tried to unleash it Wed

He unveiled the #Trump administration’s widely anticipated assault on regulation on all fronts at once, announcing 31 separate actions to roll back restrictions on air and water pollution, hand over more authority to states and relinquish EPA’s mandate to act on #ClimateChange under the #CleanAirAct.

The future of EVs in North America is now officially under threat. As #MotorMouth has long predicted, the #Trump administration is moving to overturn #California’s waiver to create its own #EV mandates. Indeed, the only thing we didn’t expect is how quickly the new president has launched his assault on the #GoldenState’s #CleanAirAct waivers.
