EPA head Andrew Wheeler has proposed a plan to gut an existing rule that limits methane pollution from new and modified natural gas facilities.
Moms see this proposal for what it is: a thinly veiled attempt to shield oil and gas facilities from national standards for years to come, while ignoring EPA’s core mission to protect public health and the environment.
Don’t let the Trump EPA turn its back on our children. Tell Administrator Wheeler: protect our kids from dangerous methane pollution.
We are facing a climate crisis. We need to act boldly and urgently to keep our children safe. It’s time for our leaders to set a goal: eliminate the pollution that is causing climate change by 2050.
That means 100% clean energy, across the entire economy. It’s ambitious, but we can do it. And for our kids, we have to do it. Tell your members of Congress: Keep us safe. Commit to 100% clean by 2050.
Our arch nemesis, multi-millionaire Bill Wehrum is stepping down as the head of air and radiation office of EPA. He is leaving amid an investigation into his possible violations of federal ethics rules. He made a fortune as a high paid attorney representing oil and gas interests, coal interests and coal-based power companies.
Make sure your Senator knows: moms will not accept another official with ties to the fossil fuel industry to fill Wehrum's position.
Trump’s EPA — under the leadership of acting head, Andrew Wheeler — has hit its lowest, most cynical level in its radical agenda to destroy protections against pollution. EPA has launched a process to sabotage and ultimately destroy our Mercury and Air Toxics Standards.
These are protections that keep a terrible poison from harming our babies’ brains. This is a terrifying development because of what it means for our health. It’s also terrifying because it shows that Trump’s EPA will stop at nothing to protect polluter profits. Please let Congress know that this is an outrage — EPA must not touch the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards.
Climate change is here, and we are feeling its impacts today. Superstorms, extreme heat, flooding, wildfires, and more are harming communities across the country and beyond. The longer our leaders wait to take action, the worse it will get. Our children will be the generation that faces the worst impacts of the climate crisis.
As parents, it’s our responsibility to hold our leaders accountable and demand action. Send a message to your representatives today to make sure they do everything it takes to protect our kids.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s integrity has been compromised under the leadership of former coal lobbyist and EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. Yet our families rely on this agency to protect our families from pollution and keep us safe from climate change.
The Trump EPA is ignoring and attacking the scientific basis of crucial environmental policies. It has disbanded key scientific advisory groups, removed scientific information from its website, and favored industry-funded scientists to serve on key panels. This negligence puts our children’s health and future directly at risk. Moms disapprove.
Oil and gas giants - some of the world’s most profitable companies - are granted hundreds of millions of dollars in tax subsidies each year–while they continue to contribute to dangerous climate change. Millions of Americans struggle to make ends meet. But we are helping make dirty energy companies—and their lobbyists–very rich.
Tell the Senate that it’s time to end these tax breaks for wealthy and powerful oil, gas and coal companies.
With America’s departure from the historic Paris Climate Agreement, the responsibility for climate action now falls on others: States, businesses, universities, local leaders, and communities. States—and their governors—hold particular power in the fight against devastating climate change. Already, we have seen several states announce they will follow the targets set by the Agreement. However, we need more.
With the federal government surrendering its chance to lead on climate action, our states must be as aggressive as possible in the effort to thwart global warming and protect the health of our children. The future of our families and our world depend upon it. Let your governor know that you demand climate action and you need them to take the lead.
Among our most essential rights: Healthy lungs, hearts and brains. Safe and thriving families, communities, and economies. A serious commitment to defeat climate change. The right to live free from pollution.
This is our Declaration of Freedom from Pollution. It means that all Americans can expect a happier and healthier life. Declare your right to freedom from pollution below.
