Will you join them? The deadline to comment is Tuesday, March 28 -- so submit yours today! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12e70153bea88fc1d900e3f192d79915d40b3077c590d3ec4707a9fc1b62dd6ff79100aa720faaa107ec6995dbb687a2f1ec6bbfa022fa7 7cebbde12508bc518> Read below a powerful story from Clare, a pediatrician in Colorado, on what cleaner air will mean for her and the children she works with. Jonathan Levenshus Federal Energy Campaigns Director ________________________________ How can I help my patients be healthy when they breathe dirty air every day? As a pediatrician, I understand our neighborhoods and communities need a prescription for healthier air. The EPA can do that by updating stronger standards for soot pollution. Join me in urging the EPA to strengthen the standards for dangerous and toxic soot pollution. Submit a public comment today -- and don't forget to share what cleaner air would mean for you! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12e70153bea88fc130dbc539032017354ffc9d3b3b13b62bba8a88e36241bf865101e3086082b57563327e748cbfc188644c9433cae5518f1e31bcf064e14b33> Submit your comment to the EPA <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12e70153bea88fc197342f1e35b0eade8f9ebf9ea89a05da4d22f24b731df5fe8f254b0c8afc1907c30874bd42e1057231d1ec528478ee31b3c3bb0b4f9d4f5c > Dear John, As a doctor, it's my responsibility to help my patients live their healthiest lives. However, it's frustrating to have to add new medications to control my patient's asthma after they were admitted to the ICU for an asthma attack, when I know that what they really need is cleaner air to breathe. Cleaner air means that more of my patients can safely play outside and have access to all of the benefits that time in nature has on their health. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently took steps to update old and insufficient standards for particulate matter, also known as soot. This pollution is a dangerous mix of toxic metals and chemicals that are so fine that we inhale them, getting into our lungs and even into our bloodstream, causing all sorts of illnesses and upper respiratory problems. But the EPA's new proposal is too weak! Now we must flood the EPA with comments urging them to strengthen their soot pollution standards to help save more lives. A stronger standard could save up to 20,000 lives per year. Tell the EPA to strengthen soot pollution limits for cleaner air for all of us! Submit a public comment before the March 28 deadline. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12e70153bea88fc1640510b6cd4e1c9f5a38d108898a0bf643ca23b101408ca56650257097fb7141de1dd21e6375a7c57537c0d8f8911519dc95106cbce3f075> Poor air quality is not just a health issue, it's a matter of justice. I've seen how the burden of unhealthy air is not equally distributed. My patients from communities of color and those experiencing poverty are living with the dirtiest air. Children from these communities are already at higher risk of asthma that is made worse by air pollution. This is not an isolated problem in my community in Denver, Colorado. The 2022 American Lung Association’s "State of the Air" Report1 found that under the existing standards, over 63 million Americans nationwide (many of them children!) experience unhealthy spikes in daily particle pollution, and more than 20 million Americans experience dangerous levels of particle pollution on a year-round basis. As a physician who has taken an oath to "do no harm," this is unacceptable. President Biden and EPA Administrator Michael Regan must do better! The more pressure we bring through written comments and public hearings, the more likely our government officials will enact the strongest pollution limits to improve the health of communities, advance racial justice, and protect the climate. Submit a comment today for cleaner air for healthier families across the country! Join me in telling the EPA to strengthen its soot pollution standard. The deadline to comment is March 28. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12e70153bea88fc18049528f52dc91b70303f57f2dcb7f7f3e6e407a4be286289844a09c6cfc60f80c8543325b72cf2dd567f2ccb367ea817f901458128a5245> Thank you, Clare Burchenal, MD, MPH Pediatrician and Sierra Club volunteer <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12e70153bea88fc13323e1ab38f06e4b0da83336faf29595d66ec5b5147ecc06384fe11fbcf2210fd51dc3ce56954d8d61bd3c0c8f8793be> Share this alert on Facebook <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12e70153bea88fc13323e1ab38f06e4b0da83336faf29595d66ec5b5147ecc06384fe11fbcf2210fd51dc3ce56954d8d61bd3c0c8f8793be> <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12e70153bea88fc152b5d5d9bd1007d30632afd94f85e21d17d57a4df5fc20923b97e1238d152c74b0170153419bd0f200eb9ae5796b6352> Share this alert on Twitter <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12e70153bea88fc152b5d5d9bd1007d30632afd94f85e21d17d57a4df5fc20923b97e1238d152c74b0170153419bd0f200eb9ae5796b6352> References 1 - https://www.lung.org/research/sota <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12e70153bea88fc16e5c4bba9060798036f809915ec2b67f05b600e321e52ea8ed15cdfc614924a498a01ebb7d89d95b8ad6ff9b999db0c5> This email was sent to: jeffbocc@co.jefferson.wa.us This email was sent by the Sierra Club 2101 Webster St., Suite 1300, Oakland, CA 94612 Unsubscribe <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12e70153bea88fc10bf7e10c62e2ca258991581cf50b031d7fda60e8e6274635bd11ff22cc6fed115d22f19a9e76e27edfc6eedf9ee074f46c53c5b9451b8875> | Manage Preferences <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12e70153bea88fc19c028ec6f55eaccd710da436a1508c0d995750ba52194d7a8b0604d33e84169f16c3fa6dbfccdc2dd3c30587f6d707762f12b09c7ba4993c> | View as web page <http://view.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=c3f65a1e601796023c79b85951a2f016179dae4c7299c79bcc73d97b12c702c2c90302a99d22461b2292c5eb048fd3b87cd1dda195aec613998089abdbdbaa41866ec0c72c6 0460722f39a4f9499583b> <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/open.aspx?ffcb10-fe8917787265007473-fe2e15727d640578761c75-fe8f1372746d007871-ff6210717d-fe5810797460007b771d-ff65167774&d=70205&bmt=0> sierraclub.org [136.147.177.64]) by mx-inbound47-92.us-east-2c.ess.aws.cudaops.com (version=TLSv1.2 cipher=ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 bits=256 verify=NO); Sat, 25 Mar 2023 20:15:40 +0000 DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; s=200608; d=emails.sierraclub.org; h=From:To:Subject:Date:List-Unsubscribe:List-Unsubscribe-Post:MIME-Version: Reply-To:List-ID:X-CSA-Complaints:Message-ID:Content-Type; i=reply@emails.sierraclub.org; bh=89w9R5TGqfmdrJaSpCmf7j4WWxaw1FSrZysghHi1TLE=; b=FTjTTbiM23NhboxUoAy/th8+fVtPR8iq3jVAE8Xd9hpacoZ7aomLkOM75eWM8ucR0ThOXU/dVHCj B3YF9t6dkN6s7BSAekXGz2cpB8oo4xNZM78WjswUuEkTf8Wc6jt6UiIbwPITWhFHHBw8OM9Q3QU8 1zfLqEP4UChr5chYu6Q= Received: by mta.emails.sierraclub.org id h3tb6o2fmd48 for <jeffbocc@co.jefferson.wa.us>; Sat, 25 Mar 2023 20:15:39 +0000 (envelope-from <bounce-418_HTML-49144629-3871496-7219454-271@bounce.emails.si erraclub.org>) From: "Jonathan Levenshus, Sierra Club" <reply@emails.sierraclub.org> To: <jeffbocc@co.jefferson.wa.us> Subject: TAKE ACTION: Last chance to submit a comment to EPA for life-saving clean air protections!
