Dear National Park Advocate,

Once again, the Trump administration is working to roll back protections for people and national parks -- and willfully fueling the climate crisis in the process. Park advocates need to speak out now!

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to repeal its own regulation that requires oil and gas operations to reduce methane and other pollutants that cause haze and smog. If this happens, our national parks, people and planet will suffer.

It's a ridiculous plan. Parks need your voice now: Tell the EPA you strongly oppose rolling back reasonable standards that curb methane pollution.

Our parks and our planet are facing a climate crisis -- in fact, national parks are warming at twice the rate of other locations, threatening the survival of sensitive plants and animals.

Methane is the primary component of natural gas and a potent contributor to climate change. EPA’s current rule requires oil and gas operators to find and capture methane so it doesn’t leak into the atmosphere.

Even major energy companies support these protections, yet the administration is pushing ahead with its plan to roll them back.

Take action now! EPA should not be rolling back these sensible protections. Allowing the oil and gas industry to release methane and other harmful pollution into the atmosphere unchecked is unacceptable.

Thank you for continuing to take a stand for our national parks, people and the planet. Every voice matters.

Sincerely,



Ulla Reeves
Senior Advocacy Manager, Clean Air Program
