Innovative Ways to Submit Comments to Urge the EPA to Regulate Greenhouse Gas Emissions via the Internet
Friday, November 21, 2008
(National Wildlife Federation)
Please take action before November 28!
NWF has launched a new campaign to
encourage the public to submit comments (during
the comment period) to urge the EPA to take
action to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. NWF is currently experimenting
with new tools to spread the word
using the Internet:

EPA.

email alert link to your network,
family, and friends:

At
this moment a
very important opportunity to address global
warming is taking place at
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
EPA for years has
claimed it doesn't have the authority under the
Clean Air Act to
regulate greenhouse gas emissions that cause
global warming. Recently,
the Supreme Court rejected the EPA claims and
said that if greenhouse
gases "endanger the public health and welfare"
they can regulate. This
decision prompted the EPA to ask that very
question to the public
during an open comment period that ends
November 28th, 2008.
NWF
believes there is no greater threat to people
and wildlife than global
warming, please let EPA know you think so too!
Unfortunately, big
industry is stacking the deck with their own
grassroots drive to submit
comments to keep the EPA from going forward
with regulations. To
counter, NWF has launched a new campaign to get
the public to submit
comments to urge the EPA to take action to
reduce greenhouse gas
emissions.
