WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Doctors, nurses, scientists, public health experts, and groups like the American Lung Association agree: Air pollution triggers asthma attacks in children – and causes permanent damage to their lungs. But right now, there's no limit to how much dangerous carbon pollution big power plants in your state can pump into the air.

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.

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 the air we breathe.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

The EPA is accepting public comments before deciding whether to close the loopholes that allow companies to pollute the air we breathe.

This is your chance to make your voice heard and protect our kids.
