The oil and gas industry is running amok, and public health, our climate, and our communities are paying the price. Fracking can never be made safe, but the EPA is developing important new rules to slash climate pollution from the oil and gas industry. But we need you to make sure the EPA approves strong protections.
The EPA is holding one of three public hearings in Dallas to get input directly from people like you. Join hundreds of activists and concerned citizens on September 23 to show the EPA that we demand an end of business-as-usual for the oil and gas industry.
Here are the details - You can RSVP here:
WHAT: EPA public hearing on proposed regulations to cut down on methane pollution from the oil and gas industry
WHEN: Wednesday, September 23, 9am-8pm.
WHERE: Dallas City Hall, Council Chambers, 1500 Marilla Street, Dallas, TX 75201 [Map]
WHY: The climate-harming methane pollution released annually by the oil and gas industry has the climate-disrupting impact of more than 160 coal-burning power plants! EPA's proposed methane standards are an important step in addressing climate pollution as well as protecting the health and safety of communities and workers, but they won't take bold action without pressure from the public -- that means people like you.
