Dear Friend, President Biden and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have taken a critical step towards cutting methane and other harmful pollutants from the oil and gas industry, but more needs to be done to confront the climate crisis head-on and protect the health and safety of communities across the country. That's why we need you to let the EPA know why cutting methane is important to you – Sign the petition! Cutting methane pollution from the oil and gas industry is the quickest, most cost-effective way to slow the rate of climate change and protect our health. Frontline communities bear the burden of oil and gas pollution that affects their health, air, and water. It's time to stand up for these families. The EPA's updated draft rule improves upon many of the standards in the original draft rule released by EPA last year, including requiring regular inspections at all well sites, but it does not go far enough – especially on key issues like the wasteful and dangerous practice of routine flaring. By signing our public comment, you let EPA know that routine flaring is unacceptable, not only for our health but also for our economy. We need the Biden administration to use all of its authority to quickly enact strong solutions for pollution to meet the president’s climate, public health, and justice commitments. Take action TODAY: Tell the Biden administration and EPA to enact the strongest possible protections against methane pollution before the February 13 deadline. |
