Tell EPA: Act Now on Global Warming Pollution
Target: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Sponsored by: Earthjustice
Sponsored by: Earthjustice
In one of the most important environmental cases of its history, in early 2007, the Supreme Court affirmed: the Clean Air Act gives the Environmental Protection Agency the authority to fight global warming.
The EPA must act immediately and issue regulations that limit global warming pollution. While this case (Massachusetts v. EPA) has worked its way through EPA and the courts, scientific evidence of global warming has continued to mount - so much so that the scientific debate is over. Our climate is warming, and pollution from human activities is to blame.
The path forward is clear. Tell the EPA that we can't wait any longer to begin the fight against global warming pollution.

Ok your name is ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AGENCY. You should protect the environment and stop people who aren't.

In fact I believe we should step things up a bit and make these regulations a little more strict setting goals on the road to our 80% goal. We should set a goal of at least 25% by 2018, 50% by 2028, 75% by 2038, and 100% by 2050. With our science and abilities I don't see why we can't avoid an issue we know is coming by taking productive steps and doing the most not the least to avoid the issue. It won't take much. We need to first stop production of gas powered vehicles (all vehicles produced after 2009 must be at least hybrid), reduce air travel and demand boats use other energy sources too. We also must make all large buildings produce half of their own energy with solar panels! Just think of all hospitals, hotels, apartment buildings with solar panel roofs! All new construction homes should have solar energy! All new construction must be green production and supplies. How hard is that? DPR construction in Redwood City is doing it! And Cigaretts seem like a small issue but the air quality they produce makes it hard to breathe we need to make stricter laws on them also. Please consider my ideas because I am not the only one who feels this way, most people I know feel the same way. The best way to get things started is by making it easier to trade in that gas car for a hybrid or electric car! Give huge tax right offs for everyone who goes to solar panels! And tax people who don't! The taxes will bring in the money to feed the tax breaks and the "go green vouchers" for trading in dirty vehicles or high energy consuming products for clean! :) Thank you!

We NEED to act now before it's too late.
