WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Doctors, nurses, and public health experts agree: Air pollution triggers asthma attacks in children and seniors – and causes permanent damage to their lungs.

That's why the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering historic standards on industrial carbon pollution from power plants. These new clean air standards would improve the quality of our air and protect our children's health. What's more, reform would help grow our economy by sparking innovation in clean technologies – creating new jobs and building clean energy industries here in America.

But big power companies are spending millions of dollars lobbying to stop them.

These corporate polluters get billions in special tax loopholes and government handouts. And now they're trying to block these vital new public health safeguards in order to keep dumping unlimited amounts of industrial carbon pollution into our air.
