A Call To Action

Make the Clean Air Promise today!

The Clean Air Promise is a national campaign to protect the health of children and families across the country from dangerous air pollution. A broad-based coalition of public health, advocacy, and environmental organizations – along with concerned parents across the country – are joining together to mobilize citizens, share their stories, and demand a firm commitment to clean air from leaders in industry and government.

Even though this landmark law saved the lives of over 160,000 people in 2010, big polluters and their allies in Congress are working to weaken and block long-delayed, life-saving clean air standards that protect the health of our children and families.

From that small garden, he can harvest and put aside enough tomatoes to enjoy [...]
