Final Push: Support the Clean Air Act Authority bill >> [[link removed]]

John,

Washington’s outdated Clean Air Act includes a loophole that leaves huge portions of our state’s polluters off the hook!

We have less than one week left in Washington's legislative session and now is the time to pass the Clean Air Act Authority bill. Together we can hold the whole fossil fuel industry accountable for climate pollution. This is the type of major climate action we need this year.

Tell your Legislators to pass the Clean Air Act Authority bill! [[link removed]]

In January, the State Supreme Court gave the Legislature a clear message – the state needs additional authority under the Clean Air Act to be able to tackle the climate crisis. The Clean Air Act Authority bill responds to the Court decision. This policy makes a commonsense and narrow update to this 1967 law that helps bring it into the 21st Century.

Please contact your Legislators now and urge them to pass the Clean Air Act Authority bill. [[link removed]]

Communities across Washington are suffering from dirty air and all the health impacts that come with climate pollution. And, one sector of the economy – the sellers and distributors of fossil fuels – accounts for a huge amount of our state’s climate pollution. Yet, they are not held accountable to those impacts.

The Clean Air Act Authority bill would enable the Department of Ecology to regulate greenhouse gas emissions associated with those fossil fuel sellers and distributors, updating our state's ability to tackle climate pollution.

The role of the Legislature is to pass and update laws: Now is the chance to update the Clean Air Act [[link removed]] to ensure the state has the authority it needs to address the climate crisis.

Thanks for all you do,
