Take Action: Tell the EPA to Protect Communities from Carbon Pollution Last week the Environmental Protection Agency released carbon pollution safeguards for new power plants. We've known for decades that carbon wrecks our health and our climate, and power plants are the nation's top source. Their pollution fuels climate disruption -- warm summer weekends become scorching heat waves and floods become disasters. Unlimited carbon pollution means more smog, more asthma attacks, and more climate disruption. Tell the EPA you support these new safeguards and that it's time to finalize them. Grassroots Activism: Make Your Voice Heard on Nuclear Power The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will soon hold public hearings about radioactive waste storage at nuclear power plants nationwide, and the Sierra Club's Nuclear Free Campaign needs your help packing those hearings.
