Urge Your Governor to Protect Public Health
From extreme weather events and longer heat waves to more potent allergy seasons, global warming has a direct impact on our health. Fortunately, the Clean Air Act requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to protect the public’s health and the environment from the dangerous impacts of global warming.
In order to effectively reduce global warming emissions, the EPA must work together with every state. Recently, each state sent the EPA a letter indicating whether it is ready and willing to work with the agency.
If you live in Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin:
Fortunately, in its letter, your state indicated its willingness to protect public health and the environment by complying with the EPA’s regulations to reduce global warming emissions. Please thank your governor for agreeing to work with the EPA and encourage your state to continue its leadership on this important issue.
If you live in Florida, Hawaii, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Wyoming:
Your state is not planning to efficiently support and comply with EPA’s regulations to reduce global warming emissions under the Clean Air Act . Please urge your governor to take a leadership role in ensuring that your state will protect public health by reducing global warming emissions.
If you live in Alabama, Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia:
Unfortunately, your state is resisting the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA's) efforts to protect public health and the environment by reducing global warming emissions under the Clean Air Act. Please urge your governor to reverse this dangerous position and make sure that your state does its part to protect public health by reducing global warming emissions.
