PSR Launches Campaign to Support Strong Climate and Energy Legislation

Help strengthen climate and energy legislation by sending a message to your senators!

The Senate will soon be considering climate change and energy legislation. The potential impact of this legislation on the health and well-being of the planet, cannot be underestimated.  We need your help at this critical time to speak in support of strong legislation that confronts the growing threat from climate change while leading the U.S. towards a healthy, peaceful and sustainable future.

Given the urgency for action, PSR has developed two letters, urging your Senators to:

1. Make strong, early cuts in carbon dioxide emissions in part by ending our reliance on coal-fired power plants.  Preserve the EPA's authority to regulate carbon dioxide under the Clean Air Act.
2. Eliminate loan guarantees or other subsidies for nuclear fired power plants.

We would like to have as many health professionals as possible sign on to these important letters by September 8.  PSR will deliver them to your Senators.

Read the full text of the letters, and sign on here, www.psr.org/climateletters.

Please add your health professional voice to this important issue.

     And PLEASE pass this link along to your Washington State health colleagues!
