We’re out this morning to thank the @EPA for finalizing a suite of power plant standards that will cut dangerous climate pollution - protecting both our health and our climate! 🌎🎉 #SolutionsForPollution
This is BIG.
These new policies will help cut the entire power sector’s carbon emissions by 75% by 2035! The safeguards will also cut down on toxic pollution, like mercury and arsenic, that poison air and water and endanger frontline communities.
Breaking news: The @BLMNational has finalized the Public Lands Rule that recognizes the Bureau’s obligation to the conservation of clean water, fish and wildlife, and healthy landscapes for generations to come.
Rubber is meeting the road on climate action! 20% of U.S. carbon pollution comes from cars and trucks—and reining it in with this policy will prevent more emissions than the entire country produces in a year. It’ll also protect public health and save drivers money!
The EPA’s new safeguard will help save thousands of lives from dangerous soot, a tiny metallic or acidic dust that comes from burning fossil fuels. This is a big step forward in the fight to protect families from dangerous polluters!
This morning, the Biden Administration released final National Ambient Air Quality Standards for particulate matter 2.5, also known as soot. These stronger standards are projected to save thousands of lives and bring billions of dollars in net benefits. Great news 🎉 Thanks EPA!
Our communities deserve access to safe, lead-free drinking water. Make your voice heard + tell @EPA to finalize the strongest possible lead in drinking water safeguards to #GetTheLeadOut of our communities in Chicago & beyond → https://t.co/ynuBQPp8BB
As the @UAW members ratify their contracts, they are securing victories for both workers and our climate. We’re seeing how automakers can invest in factories to make electric vehicles along with the workers who make them, creating more jobs in the process.

WILLOW PROJECT BREAKING NEWS: A court is allowing the drilling project to proceed in Alaska. But our fight is not over to #StopWillow—we intend to appeal the decision to a higher federal court. The law is on our side and there’s too much at stake to back down.
We just delivered over one million comments to the EPA today calling for the strongest possible safeguards on power plant pollution that’s fueling the climate crisis.
Because of you, the climate movement is strong. And we’re demanding change.
I was proud to join @NRDC colleagues, @actonclimateUS and many others today to deliver more than 90,000 public comments calling for stronger Mercury and Air Toxics Standards! We’re counting on @EPA to protect hearts, lungs and brains across the country from fossil fuel pollution.
Existing coal- and gas-burning power plants currently face NO federal limits on their carbon pollution, but the EPA just announced a plan to cut these emissions.
Tell the EPA to make these new climate safeguards as strong as possible: https://t.co/Sq6tydms9L
Today, @NRDC joined @actonclimateUS and other partners at @EPA to deliver comments for stronger soot pollution safeguards on behalf of half a million of our friends. Soot kills—we need to #ActNow.
