Pollution in Your
Community
Get an in-depth pollution report for your State and County, covering air, water, chemicals, and more.
Then...
Take Action: Oppose EPA's efforts to weaken pollution reporting
Tell
EPA not to weaken pollution reporting!
We think American citizens have a right to know what toxic chemicals are being released into their communities. But the EPA recently proposed to limit the information that companies are required to disclose about the hazardous chemicals they release into our environment. By reducing the reporting requirements of its Toxics Release Inventory program, the EPA would take away an important tool for protecting public health and reducing industrial pollution.
There is no justification for weakening this successful program, other than to please corporate polluters, who view public disclosure as a costly nuisance. That's why we must submit as many comments as possible by the January 13th deadline strongly opposing this dangerous proposal! Take Action today!
