Last month, the House of Representatives voted to prevent the EPA from protecting Americans from coal ash. A week later, a retaining wall at a Wisconsin power plant collapsed, spewing toxic coal ash into Lake Michigan. Talk about karma.

Tell the EPA that you support their efforts to regulate coal ash. »

Coal ash is a dirty mix of toxic heavy metals that harm the health of wildlife and people. Yet there's almost no regulation, which makes spills like the one at the We Energies Oak Creek Power Plant not one-off catastrophes, but something that will happen again.

It's obvious the coal industry doesn't want regulation. They don't want anything that could cut into profits, even if the alternative is mucking up one of America's most beautiful landscapes, the shores of our Great Lakes.

The status quo simply isn't good enough. It's time for the EPA to step and in make the coal industry take action to protect our health and our environment »

Thanks for taking action!
