Strong Climate Pollution Limits for Power Plants (A Sample Campaign)
Puerto Rico IPL
Thank you for proposing new federal limits on climate pollution from power plants.
The climate crisis is taking an enormous toll on human life, our communities, and our world. Communities of color and vulnerable communities are the hardest hit by the climate crisis and are more likely to experience health impacts because of climate pollution.
As a person of faith and conscience, I believe we have a moral responsibility to care for our communities, neighbors, and the environment.
That’s why I’m writing to urge EPA to go even further and make this rule stronger. The rule should expand the number of power plants covered and speed up the compliance timeline. EPA should also increase safeguards for communities to provide public input to ensure that mitigation technologies do not exacerbate environmental injustices or local air pollution.
A stronger rule is what is needed to tackle the climate crisis, protect our health, and slash pollution that harms our communities — especially those that have been disproportionately harmed and that live near fossil fuel facilities.
Thank you,

Why is this important?
Power plants are among our top sources of climate pollution, we need smarter approaches and stronger policies to protect the American public from the harmful and long term effects of pollution.
