Tell your Senator: Protect our health from Big Coal's mercury pollution

Tell your Senator: Protect our health from Big Coal's mercury pollution

The Issue

Mercury is a dangerous neurotoxin that harms the developing hearts, lungs and brains of fetuses, infants and toddlers—it does not belong in our air.

The EPA has a new rule that would limit mercury and other dangerous pollution from coal-fired power plants. That rule is now under attack. Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma is organizing an outrageous campaign to halt the EPA’s new rule.

We need to fight back. Tell your Senators to stand up for clean air and defeat Sen. Inhofe’s outrageous bill once and for all.
