WE NEED LOW SULFER FUEL, CONTACT THE EPA HERE

FROM THE UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTISTS Clean Up Our Cars Write to the EPA by July 1 and urge the agency to move ahead with low-sulfur fuel and tailpipe emissions standards. Take Action Today! ACTION ALERT Urge the EPA to Finalize Strong Tier 3 Standards by the End of This Year Dear Keith, The oil industry and its allies in Congress are working hard to stop the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) proposed rule to cut tailpipe emissions from our cars and sulfur from gasoline (known as Tier 3 standards). These standards will prevent thousands of asthma cases and millions of lost school and work days each year, and the benefits will be immediate when Tier 3 takes effect. The oil industry knows they cannot win an argument about the substance of a rule with such clear and cost-effective public health benefits, so they continue to work to delay the regulatory process. Reducing vehicle pollution and bringing cleaner gasoline to the pump is a no-brainer. Automakers, who are stepping up to the plate to build more fuel efficient vehicles, are clamoring for cleaner fuel. Public health and consumer advocates are lauding the Tier 3 program's benefits, and state clean air officials know that reducing sulfur and tailpipe pollution is the most cost-effective way to meet federal clean air goals. Don't let the oil industry and its allies stand in the way. The EPA needs to hear from the millions of Americans like you who want cleaner fuel and cars that pollute less. Write to the EPA by July 1 and urge the agency to finalize Tier 3 standards by the end of this year. Sincerely, Rachel Cohen National Field Organizer Clean Vehicles Program Union of Concerned Scientists
