Tell the EPA: Protect our health & climate!

Dear John,

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is creating new rules to cut fracking's climate & toxic air pollution and they want to hear from you.

Today is the last day to submit your comments before they begin to write the rules!

Methane is 86x more powerful a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. And the oil and gas industry's methane and other air pollution is fueling the climate crisis, and threatening the health and safety of our communities. It's past time to do something about it.

EPA has the authority, and oil and gas companies have the tools and technology, to cut methane pollution 65% below 2012 levels by 2025. But of course industry is pushing for much weaker rules -- which is why YOUR voice is important to counter their lobbyists.

There is no time to waste. Each year, the oil and gas industry releases 16 million metric tons of methane into the atmosphere, and without swift federal action, methane pollution from the industry will continue to skyrocket. 

Today, the last day they're taking comments before writing a new rule, please tell EPA to use the full force of the Clean Air Act to cut oil and gas methane pollution as much as the law. In September, EPA will issue a draft rules based upon all comments received.

Thanks for standing up for our communities’ and climate!

Sincerely,

Lauren Pagel, Policy Director
