We Need Tougher Air Pollution Standards!
Target: EPA Administrator Stephen JohnsonSponsored by: Environmental Defense
Ground level ozone, better known as smog, represents a serious health danger to tens of millions of Americans.
The Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee recognized these health risks when it unanimously found there was no scientific justification for maintaining the current health standard and recommended EPA substantially strengthen the national health standard for ozone.
But, the EPA has proposed to only marginally strengthen smog standards and has even inexplicably left the door open to leaving the standards unchanged.
Take action! The comment period for this issue ends on October 9!
Tell the EPA that air quality standards must be substantially strengthened to protect millions of Americans from exposure to dangerous levels of smog pollution.

We can no longer keep dumping stuff into our air and not expect consequences. Our current standards are NOT tough enough.

With more people and more cars, it's getting harder to breathe. More and more people are suffering from asthma. Respiratory disease is on the rise. Now more than ever we need cleaner air and tougher pollution standards. We shouldn't be able to view our air, except in winter, and it shouldn't be so filled with dirt and pollution as to feel gritty. We need clean air!
