Dear John,
Methane pollution from oil and gas operations is accelerating the pace of climate change and harming the health of our families and communities — and it is a problem that is only getting worse.
But you can be part of the solution! Sign our petition to President Biden and urge him to take immediate action on methane. With your support we can slash emissions and protect the health of millions of people across the U.S.
In 2021, EPA proposed a draft rule to cut methane and other harmful pollutants from oil and gas operations across the U.S. Hundreds of thousands of people from across the country came out in support of these common sense rules, but they also asked the EPA to make it better by:
- Requiring regular inspections at high-polluting small wells with leak-prone equipment and eliminating pollution from routine flaring;
- Committing to community monitoring programs and working to incorporate data generated by community groups; and
- Including a requirement to use equipment that does not emit pollution at well sites such as pneumatics.
The White House is currently reviewing an updated draft EPA methane rule, and we are calling on President Biden to publish the draft rule as soon as possible to protect communities and our climate as soon as possible.
Can you sign our petition to President Biden asking him to ensure that strong methane rules are proposed as soon as possible to protect public health and climate?
Thanks for your support,
Wes Rogerson
