Take Action

Now is the Time for Clean Cars

Cars, light trucks and SUVs may be cleaner than they used to be, but they are still a major source of toxic air pollution that can make you sick. This year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the opportunity to set new health protections that will reduce this pollution by cleaning up gas and setting stronger limits on tailpipe emissions for vehicles. These standards will reduce harmful smog and soot pollution that can make it difficult to breathe, trigger asthma attacks, and worsen heart and lung health, and even kill.

Communities near roadways and highways across the nation need relief from dangerous air pollution from motor vehicles.

Please submit a comment to the EPA today and tell them to put these standards in place by the end of this year.

Tell Congress: Protect The Air We Breathe

Your right to breathe clean and healthy air is under attack. Big corporate polluters are pressuring Congress to weaken the Clean Air Act – a law that prevents tens of thousands of asthma attacks, heart attacks, strokes, and premature deaths caused by air pollution each year.

Tell your lawmakers to protect the Clean Air Act today.
