Dear Friend,

The Biden administration is making big strides to tackle the climate crisis, protect public health, and move towards a clean energy future through executive rulemakings. Public advocacy – including more than 347,000 comments from Earthjustice supporters – has played a key role in securing these protections.

Some of the critical safeguards the Biden administration announced this month include:

- Finalizing historic standards that will limit the amount of carbon pollution that power plants can emit.

- Establishing the first-ever national PFAS drinking water standards to reduce people’s exposure to serious health risks and prevent thousands of premature deaths.

- Implementing an extension of cleanup requirements to hundreds of old coal ash dumps across the country that have been leaking toxic pollution into groundwater.

- Strengthening the crucial Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, the successful air pollution rule that limits mercury and other toxic emissions from coal and oil power plants.

- Unveiling new protections for certain areas within Alaska’s Western Arctic – a public lands area that has been targeted by ConocoPhillips and other oil companies for oil and gas drilling.

These regulations being finalized is the culmination of years of advocacy, from Earthjustice, its clients, and from advocates like you who spoke up time and time again as these issues were up for public comment or when momentum was needed to push the needle in a positive direction. Without you, this wouldn’t be possible.

Despite these victories there are still legal challenges on the horizon and other environmental protections to pursue. We are in a crucial moment of progress, and we need your help to get some key initiatives across the finish line. Advocates like you speak up during every comment period and opportunity – and it makes a difference. Click here to take all the actions below on one page.

Urge the EPA to ban lead wheel weights now

Regulators are ignoring a significant source of lead exposure that threatens public health and harms our environment. Lead wheel weights —the unassuming metal bars added to your wheels by your local mechanic when rebalancing your tires—are a big source of lead in our communities. Tell the EPA to ban this source of lead pollution now.

Reforming the federal leasing program is crucial to meaningfully address climate change

Through a process called the federal leasing program, the government auctions off the rights to extract natural resources on publicly owned lands or waters to private companies. These fossil fuel leases lock us into decades of dirty energy and climate-heating pollution. Tell the Biden administration to protect our public lands from fossil fuels.

Recover Snake and Columbia River salmon

In late February, White House officials and representatives from the Six Sovereigns signed the historic Columbia River Basin agreement. The agreement includes promises to support salmon restoration, expand clean energy production, and modernize other key services provided by the lower Snake River dams. Now it’s time to pressure Congress to Act.
