Picture this: FLAMES shoot into the sky, filling the air with SMOKE and NOXIOUS ODORS. The smog carries TOXIC POLLUTANTS like volatile organic compounds that have devastating health impacts. This is happening right now, often near our communities. Children walking to school, seniors spending time with loved ones, people going to work -- everyone can be impacted by the pollution from flaring methane gas. 

Eyes. Skin. Liver. Kidneys. The nervous system. Dangerous flaring from oil and gas operations can harm all these essential pieces of our health. And corporate polluters have disproportionately placed the sites where flaring occurs in low-wealth communities and communities of color. The Bureau of Land Management could implement a rule to PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES AND PLANET from methane flaring! Friend, the BLM is close to making a decision and YOUR ACTION can help prevent dangerous pollution. Send your comment by 11:59pm TONIGHT!

Methane is OVER 80x MORE POWERFUL than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. At a time when the climate crisis is fueling bigger fires, floods, and storms, we cannot afford to make the problem even worse by flaring methane gas. But unless the BLM takes action, greedy corporations will continue to pollute at the expense of our communities and planet.

There are just a FEW DAYS LEFT before the BLM stops accepting input! If just 1 of every 5 people reading this email takes action RIGHT NOW, we can push the BLM to prioritize clean air over polluter profits! Stop corporate polluters from damaging our health and planet with methane flares by signing TODAY!

Standing with you,
