John -
Donald Trump and his handpicked head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Lee Zeldin, would like you to believe that burning fossil fuels doesn’t endanger people or our planet.
They’d also like you to believe that the EPA shouldn’t have the power or responsibility to regulate climate pollution, and that if we bury our heads in the sand, the climate crisis will simply disappear.
Well frankly, John, those are blatant lies.
The mission of the EPA — the Environmental Protection Agency — is to protect human health and the environment. And Lee Zeldin doesn’t get to abandon that mission just because it would benefit a few Big Oil billionaires.
News broke earlier this week that the Trump administration was trying to undo the “endangerment finding,” which grants the EPA the power to limit fossil fuel pollution under the Clean Air Act.1 It’s the bedrock upon which many of our country’s efforts to combat the climate crisis have been built.
And if the Trump administration gets its way, climate experts are warning that it will result in more climate pollution and more extreme climate disasters.2
John, ending the EPA’s ability to regulate climate pollution benefits exactly one group: climate polluters. If they win this fight, we’ll see untold damage to our health and our planet.
We need to remind Zeldin that he doesn’t lead the Environmental Destruction Agency, and that he doesn’t serve the fossil fuel industry. He serves to protect people and the health of our environment. Will you send Lee Zeldin a message and demand he do his job today?
Thank you for making your voice heard,
Katrina for 350.org
