Tell EPA: It's Time for Cleaner Car Standards

Cars produce more climate pollution than all other forms of transportation combined. Car pollution is also linked to serious health problems that disproportionately impact communities of color.

EPA has the chance to change all this. But they need to hear from you, Friend.

Friend,

Transportation is the most climate-polluting sector in the U.S. economy—with gas-guzzling cars accounting for the lion's share of that pollution. 

And the pollution spewing out of car exhaust pipes isn't just exacerbating climate change. It's also linked to a slew of health problems like asthma, heart and lung disease, and even cancer—costing the U.S. thousands of lives each year.

The good news is that EPA has a tool that can turn things around by regulating pollution from cars and other light-duty vehicles. But we need to flood them with comments to make sure it's as strong as possible.

Powerful industry groups with deep pockets are pulling out all the stops to weaken these rules, lobbying the Biden administration and Congress to keep business as usual at the expense of our public health and climate.

Now that EPA is accepting public comments on the new standards, we have a real chance to fight back and ensure the strongest possible version of these rules make it into law. Will you join us by adding your name?

Thanks for adding your voice today.

P.S.  Ambitious light-duty vehicle standards go hand-in-hand with environmental justice. That's because communities of color and low-income communities, who often live and work near highways or other heavily-trafficked areas, disproportionately bear the brunt of tailpipe pollution and its negative health impacts.
