Hello John, While 2022 marked a historic year for climate victories – the work doesn’t stop here. There are several draft EPA rules that will require a big push from our community and this is one of those moments. Join over 120 member businesses who have already signed on and are calling for action to reduce methane pollution. Last month, the Biden Harris Administration announced a new proposal that would expand the current rules for methane regulation. This is a necessary step to protect the planet, human health, and to support the transition to an equitable and just clean-energy economy. The American Sustainable Business Network (ASBN) supports this rule and urges business leaders, investors, and individuals to comment and to support this rule. | |
Polluting industries are pushing back on the Administration, claiming that they can police themselves and don't need the help and support. Methane emissions regulation will mitigate climate risks, prevent continued harm to local communities and ecosystems, reduce pricing uncertainty and market volatility, and regulate the harmful impacts of methane to stimulate investment and innovation. This rule is a critical step in achieving a clean energy transition that prioritizes health, environmental protection, economic well being, and successful businesses across the United States. The ASBN Business Case on Methane Emissions Regulations provides background on the harmful effects of methane emissions and shows the importance of strong regulation to support the transition to clean energy that will benefit the environment, human health, and businesses and their supply chains. Please sign on using this form to have your comments of support sent directly to the EPA. Thank you! | |
