The Environmental Protection Agency is set to issue clean vehicle standards in the coming weeks, which will go a long way to combat deadly climate pollution.

Transportation is the largest source of climate pollution in the U.S. and is also a major source of other harmful pollutants that significantly impact public health, causing deadly diseases such as asthma, heart problems, and cancer.

If enacted, EPA’s vehicle standards would be one of the largest climate regulations in United States history. NRDC activists have sent tens of thousands of messages to the EPA in support of strong standards — now is your last chance to tell the agency how critical these lifesaving rules are for our climate and health.

Tell EPA Administrator Regan that you support the strongest possible clean vehicle standards!

New York recently passed the first-in-the-nation bill that would rein in the use of toxic neonic pesticides that are killing bees. And right now in Minnesota, there are two critical bills in the state legislature that would restrict the use of these dangerous chemicals statewide.

These are important steps to protect bees from dying at alarming rates from this deluge of toxic pesticides, pushed by agrochemical giants like Bayer.

But it’s not enough — we need a national ban on the bee-killing uses of neonics that will put pollinators and people ahead of industry profits.

Send a message urging the EPA to ban bee-killing uses of neonics and save the future of our food supply.
