Dear Friend,

Take Action Against Coal Pollution in Washington State.

Here in Washington, we have a great opportunity to become the first state in the nation to go completely coal free. We need your help to make this happen.

Washington's only coal plant is also our biggest polluter. The TransAlta coal plant near Mount Rainier emits more greenhouse gases, poisonous mercury and Rainier-harming nitrogen oxide than any other polluter in the state of Washington. The National Parks Department has said that this plant harms more national parks and protected areas than any other coal plant in the nation.

Take action now to stop this pollution.

Governor Gregoire's administration recently made a pollution deal with the TransAlta coal plant which public interest groups say does not do enough to protect public health or our environment. The Governor's office is currently taking public comments on this proposed deal.　

Governor Gregoire's administration needs to hear your voice: tell state leaders to protect the public from haze, mercury and global warming pollution.　

Thanks,
