NC's Air Toxics Program at risk

Some legislators are taking aim at NC’s important Air Toxics Program, which keeps our communities safe from toxic air pollution. Children, pregnant women and senior citizens are at risk for serious health problems if the air they breathe is contaminated by nearby industrial emissions. The companies requesting that state legislators repeal the program are some of the largest emitters in the state.

Tell Governor Perdue and state legislators to oppose any effort to dismantle the Air Toxics Program:

Protect the Clean Water Act

The Clean Water Act was passed in 1972 in response to rivers catching on fire and polluters dumping raw sewage into our nation's lakes and bays. Now, almost 40 years later, this landmark law is under attack. H.R. 2018 would strip away the federal authority of the EPA to protect our nation's fragile rivers, lakes and streams.Unfortunately, the U.S. House of Representatives passed this devastating bill and it now sits in the U.S. Senate.

Tell your U.S. Senator to oppose this dirty water bill:

Say NO to fracking in NC

Fracking is a controversial method of drilling for natural gas that, in other states, has led to water contamination and toxic air pollution. Recent reports have found some distressing problems in Ohio and Wyoming where 11 minor earthquakes in northeast Ohio were likely caused by the disposal of fracking wastewater into deep injection wells; and the EPA identified fracking as the likely cause of water contamination in Pavillion, Wyoming.
