Tell Trump and the EPA: We oppose your Clean Power Plan replacement that weakens protection for public health and our planet.

Skip to sign

Carbon dioxide emissions are warming our planet to dangerous levels. That's why President Barack Obama championed the Clean Power Plan, calling it "the single most important step America has ever taken in the fight against global climate change."

The plan was a necessary first step: it would have reduced carbon emissions by nearly 20 percent by 2030, and particulate pollution by 25 percent.

Donald Trump is working to undo President Obama's pro-environment legacy. His new "Affordable Clean Energy" proposal, which is supposed to replace the Clean Power Plan, will actually increase exposure to hazardous air pollution while doing far too little to reduce the climate-warming pollution that is endangering our planet.

Instead of a push to clean up power plants and use more renewable energy, Trump's rule includes a pollution loophole that will actually increase exposure to pollution from coal-fired power plants — like sulfur dioxide, ozone and particulate matter — and by his own EPA's admission, result in more deaths. And instead of reducing climate-warming carbon pollution by nearly 20 percent by 2030, as the Clean Power Plan would have, Trump's plan would only reduce carbon emissions by 0.7 percent to 1.5 percent by 2030.

Before the EPA can implement Trump's new rule, the public gets a say. We must make our voices heard before the public comment period closes on October 31.

Sign the petition: tell Donald Trump and the EPA to put public health and the planet ahead of industry profits keep the CleanPower Plan and reject this dangerous replacement.
