The Postal Service’s replacement of its aging delivery fleet over the next few years is vital.

If the USPS fails to maximize the number of battery electric vehicles in the fleet, they will be locked into decades of fossil fuel vehicles operating in communities across the U.S., resulting in higher maintenance and fuel costs, worse air quality, and increased climate impacts.

Thanks to NRDC activists like you, the Postal Service has finally gotten the message that cleaner vehicles are a win all around.

Now is the time. Tell the USPS that they must commit to maximizing the number of battery electric vehicles built with high-quality jobs in its fleet and do so without delay.

Only a few days left to voice your support of EPA’s proposed standards that would significantly cut climate-busting carbon emissions from coal- and gas-fired power plants. The comment period is closing 8/8, and we desperately need your help before then.

Cleaning up electricity production is critical: power plants that burn coal and gas are responsible for one-third of U.S. carbon emissions. Existing fossil power plants currently face NO federal limits on their carbon pollution they emit, so EPA's proposed standards are urgently needed.

EPA should implement the strongest possible carbon pollution standards – and quickly – to confront the mounting dangers of the worsening climate crisis and save lives. This is your last chance to make your voice heard.

Urge EPA to cut carbon pollution and tackle the climate crisis by finalizing the most ambitious carbon limits rule possible before the 8/8 deadline.

• Protect the Endangered Species Act — Reverse Trump-era Rollbacks: In 2019, the Trump Administration tried to rewrite the success story that is the Endangered Species Act with short-sighted, anti-scientific rollbacks in a blatant attempt to eviscerate protections for the most imperiled species in our country. Now, in response to a federal lawsuit, we have a chance to reverse some of those attacks and get this story back on track. Take action >
