  • Yes! I pledge to be a Clean Air Advocate and help ensure that our cornerstone environmental law -- the Clean Air Act -- is used urgently and ambitiously to curb global warming and won't be diluted by hostile politicians or weak compromises this year.

    Just as the Obama administration is beginning to use the tried and true Clean Air Act to address global warming, some in Congress have resolved to make 2012 the year they gut this law.

    As a Clean Air Advocate, I will push the feds to use this crucial law to solve our most pressing environmental crisis. I'll help by taking action online, spreading the word and urging my city council to pass a resolution in support of using the Clean Air Act to curb global warming pollution. Our warming planet can't afford half-measures or more delayed action, so I'm pledging now to do my part to combat the worldwide crisis of our warming planet.

  • America's Arctic is facing a crisis -- from the Polar Bear Seas to the tundra of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the arctic is under increasing threat from oil drilling and the effects of climate change.



    Wildlife like polar bears, seals and caribou rely on the Arctic's unique climate and pristine landscape for their survival. The consequences of an oil spill in this fragile wilderness would be disastrous, and we can't afford it.



    Tell the Obama administration -- now is the time for them to establish a legacy by protecting this amazing wilderness and the wildlife that depend on it.

  • According to a new report by Ontario's environmental commissioner, several indigenous species--including the iconic sugar maple--could disappear from the Ontario landscape in the next few years. The sugar maple, as well as the black spruce and several agricultural crops, are threatened by habitat degradation, climate change, invasive species, and pollution.

    Yet, with the Legislative Assembly set to make significant budget cuts, it is likely that programs that would protect Ontario's environment will be among the first to be cut. Such cuts would be devastating not only to the environment, but also to Ontario's economy, as maple syrup is a major crop in the province and the agricultural industry is Ontario's second largest employer.

    Sign now to urge the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to pass legislation to protect endangered species like the sugar maple and to commit to a long-term strategy to preserve biodiversity in the province.

  • Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains National Park are increasingly under attack from air pollution -- and the source is our dirty coal plants and refineries and pollution from surrounding states.



    The Clean Air Act requires the State of Texas and EPA to reduce and eliminate this haze. Under EPA's proposed rule, however, Texas's oldest and dirtiest power plants would be exempted from installing readily-available, modern pollution controls -- instead they could purchase emissions allowances from states as far away as Minnesota and South Carolina. These purchases won't help Big Bend or Guadalupe or clean up the air that Texans breathe.


    Please submit your comments to protect Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains National Park from air pollution.
