http:https://www.congressweb.com/NRPE Wed, 08 Oct 2025 10:12:20 GMT http:https://www.congressweb.com/NRPE/125 <div>On March 12, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced its intent to overturn and undo decades of bipartisan consensus on critical pollution safeguards that have resulted in cleaner air and water and significant health improvements. The announcements cover 31 health protections, including standards on mercury, soot, and traffic pollution as well as the reconsideration of a decade-old, evidence-based conclusion that carbon dioxide, methane, and four other climate-warming pollutants endanger human health and welfare.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> These crucial protections and safeguards are the result of years of advocacy and commitment to defending the lives of our children and communities from harmful pollution and negative health outcomes including hindered brain development, low birth weight, asthma, and spinal cord defects in newborns as well as higher rates of dementia and cancer in adults. While we have made incredible gains in recent years, the American Lung Association finds that nearly 40% of Americans, representing 131.2 million people, still live in areas with unhealthy air. Our work is far from finished, and we will not rest until all God’s children are free from the burden of pollution and can reach their full God-given potential.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> Join us in calling on the EPA to live up to its mission of protecting human health and the environment and urging Congress to prioritize the health and wellbeing of all God’s children over pollution.

In 2024 alone, we celebrated stronger safeguards on soot, methane pollution, carbon pollution from power plants, and traffic pollution from heavy and light-duty vehicles.</div> <div><br /> As we welcome a new administration and Congress, we must ensure that this momentum is continued and not halted or stripped back. Now is the time for us to stand strong for God’s creation and oppose any efforts to undo this progress for a healthy environment and safe climate for all God’s children. Tell your lawmakers you support continued action for God’s creation and a safe climate by sending your message below.</div> Thu, 09 Jan 2025 05:00:00 GMT http:https://www.congressweb.com/NRPE/123
