John,
When Norfolk Southern decided to burn the vinyl chloride in its rail cars following the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, it set off an environmental and public health disaster.
Vinyl chloride is a toxic, colorless, flammable gas created from fracked gas to make PVC plastic. We need the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to eliminate dangerous toxins at their source. This is why Food & Water Action calls for a ban on vinyl chloride.
We’re up against powerful and well-funded corporate lobbyists who want to expand fossil fuels, specifically ethane sourced from fracking, to produce more vinyl chloride. Will you join us in going up against corporate polluters to ban vinyl chloride? Make a gift to Food & Water Action today!

Vinyl chloride isn’t just a public health issue; it also threatens our food, water, and climate. We can find vinyl chloride in almost everything from packaging to furniture to children’s toys.
We were the first organization to call for a national ban on fracking, and since then, we’ve seen our work pay off with fracking bans in communities and states from coast-to-coast. The fossil fuel industry knows its time is up. And, as we replace fossil fuels with renewables, vinyl chloride and plastics growth serve as a lifeline to fossil fuel corporations.
We don’t have to live with vinyl chloride, and we don’t have to let the toxic chemical lobby or the frackers win. We have alternatives to PVC plastics that we could use, and we have laws that the EPA could wield to regulate and even ban toxic chemicals.
So we’re calling on the EPA to ban vinyl chloride, and we’ll keep fighting until all our communities are safe from it. You can be a part of our efforts, John. Please consider making a gift to Food & Water Action today to help move our critical work forward.
