Clinton, McCain, Obama: Clean cars on day one!
The
Bush EPA hasn’t reversed its decision to block cleaner cars. And the
Antarctic ice shelf, which recently lost a 160-square-mile chunk of
ice, isn’t going to put itself back together either.
The clean
cars program — which would cut global warming pollution from new cars
and trucks by 30 percent — would go a long way toward fighting global
warming and saving what’s left of the ice shelf. In fact, the 13 states
that have adopted the program would combine to cut 400 million tons of
global warming pollution from our cars and trucks. With the Bush
administration blocking progress at every turn, we’re counting on the
next president to remove the EPA’s roadblock to cleaner cars.
Petition Text Sens. Clinton, McCain and Obama,
Your first day in office will be a huge opportunity to begin moving our country forward in solving global warming. If you are the next president, one of the most important first steps is to give states the green light to put cleaner cars on the road, a move that would cut 400 million tons of global warming pollution between now and 2020.
Sincerely,
