Make a difference in the challenge to confront global warming and prevent nuclear war and the development and use of nuclear weapons.
Support strong nationwide action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
The Clean Air Act is America’s most important and effective law for keeping life-threatening pollutants out of the air. It’s also the best tool we have available now for capping emissions of greenhouse gases.
The Clean Air Act is under attack. The coal and oil industries and legislators from dirty-fuel states are determined to roll back our progress.
