July 29: Get on the bus to the EPA Carbon Protections hearing in Atlanta!

[Charlotte Sierra Club]

On June 2, President Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a historic plan to cut carbon pollution and stop the worst effects of climate disruption. The Clean Power Plan is our nation’s first major action to cut dangerous carbon pollution from our largest polluters, 30 percent by 2030, and will help spur a clean energy economy that can drive down electricity bills and create hundreds of thousands of dependable jobs.This is the beginning of what could be the biggest climate fight in U.S. history. The proposed plan is already under attack by the fossil fuel industry, whose proponents are mobilizing like never before to send their lobbyists to Washington.

On July 29, EPA will host the first of just four national hearings on the proposed Clean Power Plan in Atlanta.

Let’s show the world that the Southeast is ready for serious action to stop climate disruption!
