By attempting to repeal America's Clean Power Plan, the Trump administration and EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt are casting our children's health and future into jeopardy. It is an irresponsible, dangerous decision, and flies in the face of the tremendous support shown for the Plan by hundreds of thousands of parents, leaders of red and blue states, cities, communities, religious leaders, and some of America's largest corporations.
Pruitt's EPA has offered no replacement for the Plan. Demand a Plan that will reduce harmful pollution and protect future generations.
SUBJECT: America Demands a Clean Power Plan
Dear Environmental Protection Agency,
The EPA's dangerous decision to repeal America's Clean Power Plan is an insult to current and future Americans. Our children, grandchildren, and those to follow are counting on us to lead in the fight against climate change, which threatens the health and future of my children.
As a parent, I am concerned about the health impacts of climate change and air pollution. America's Clean Power Plan would offer significant health benefits to Americans. It would avoid thousands of premature deaths each year as a result of reductions in particle pollution, and prevent 90,000 asthma attacks each year, yielding tens of billions of dollars in annual health benefits. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have expressed support for the plan, along with Democrats and Republicans alike, cities and communities, religious leaders and businesses.
I implore the EPA--as America's first defender against toxic pollution and climate-changing pollutants--to institute a plan that will take seriously these threats and do all it can to keep American families safe and healthy.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
