Power plants and other large pollution sources are jumping at a new and unprecedented policy from the Trump administration inviting them to apply for a license to pollute at will. All they have to do is send an email.

One of the first to respond was the Colstrip coal power plant in my home state of Montana. It’s one of the dirtiest power plants in the country, a major producer of soot and other toxic air pollution.

John, this is just one example of how the Trump administration is taking actions that would harm the health of people and our planet. On Earth Day, or any day, we shouldn’t have to worry about our loved ones breathing dirtier air and our kids suffering a lifetime of illness due to toxic pollution.

Will you fight back against these free passes to pollute by donating to EDF? Your Earth Day donation will unlock a 200% match from two longtime EDF donors, tripling your impact. This special match offer expires at midnight tonight!

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has not made all of the requests for these pollution exemptions public. EDF has filed a request under the federal Freedom of Information Act for all records related to the EPA portal — including the names of all those seeking exemptions.

Your Earth Day donation by midnight tonight will provide our teams with the reinforcements they need to stand strong against these assaults on our bedrock protections for the environment and human health.

Please donate what you can by midnight tonight and triple your impact thanks to the 200% match. And if you start a yearly Earth Day donation, you’ll join more than 318 EDF members who have made the same commitment.

Thanks for protecting a vital Earth for everyone,
