Today: Americans Speak Up for Clean Air

Right now, NRDC staff are in Chicago and Washington, D.C. making the case to the Environmental Protection Agency that now is the time to protect our health and our environment from the dangerous levels of carbon pollution coming from industrial power plants. And we're not alone: joining us are Americans across the country who are organizing events, and more than one million so far who have sent letters to the EPA supporting pollution limits from coal plants.

Learn more about the hearings and events around the country.
Help us reach two million letters: send yours today.
