Tell the U.S. Forest Service that you support the proposed ban on fracking in Virginia’s beloved George Washington National Forest.
For the first time ever, the Obama Administration and the EPA are proposing national limits on carbon pollution from new coal plants. This is a step in the right direction for combatting climate change, and the EPA should be commended for taking a stand against polluters. Carbon pollution is a primary cause of climate change and is also a significant contributor to health hazards like the smog that triggers asthma attacks.
