Mom’s Clean Air Force is making it easy to get the word to the EPA that we support them and the Clean Air Act. REALLY EASY!! Go here – fill in the form. click. Ta Dah!!!! Could it be easier? We have two days to let the EPA know that breathing clean air matters to us. We have two days left to let the EPA know that we don’t want more mercury in our water or in the fish we want to eat. We have two days to let the EPA know that we want our children to breath clean air and lessen the asthma we see plaguing our children. TWO DAYS! It takes less than 5 minutes to fill out this form and click. Go on. You know that if we combine our voices, we can be loud enough to drown out the lobbyists that are running around Capitol Hill, strong arming our elected representatives
For the last few weeks, while we have been sweltering under the heat wave, we’ve also been hearing about Code Red and Code Orange days – that our air isn’t clean enough for those with breathing problems, for babies and old folks, for kids and adults with asthma. The continuing demands on our electrical grid mean that we need to make sure that the power is being generated cleanly. The coal fired plants that haven’t retrofitted with the appropriate technology that scrubs their emissions shouldn’t be allowed to continue to spew out the mercury, the particulates, the arsenic. Let the EPA know we support the New Mercury and Air Toxics Standards Rule. Click here.
Join us at Mom’s Clean Air Force, let your voice combine with ours and get LOUD!!
