Help Stop Toxic Water Pollution from Power Plants! Join us for a Webinar on Thursday June 27th at 8pm ET / 7pm CT / 6pm MT / 5pm PT https://www4.gotomeeting.com/register/160279351 EPA has proposed a rule that could end the dumping of toxic water pollution from coal power plants! Coal power plants are the source of nearly three-quarters of the toxic water pollution in this country, dumping millions of pounds of poisons into the water each year (ie: arsenic, selenium, boron, cadmium, mercury and lead) which in turn can affect our drinking water, fishing areas and local rivers and streams. The water pollution standards for coal plants are 31 years old, and 4 out of 5 plants lack any limits on the toxic metals they emit. This EPA rule is about to change that.
This summer we will focus much of our field work on showing strong support for this standard to reduce toxic water pollution from coal plants. Our successful demonstration of public support for water standards on coal fired power plants will protect our communities from dangerous chemicals that can lead to birth defects, cancer and even death.
To learn more about the toxic water pollution standard for power plants, and the activities that will help build support across the nation, please join us for this webinar on June 27 at 8pm ET / 7pm CT / 6pm MT / 5pm PT. Speakers will cover the details of the rule; how the rule will affect power plants, examples of activities and events in the works for the summer, and the next steps to take locally. There will also be a Q&A session at the end of the call.
This call will be recorded for future viewing.
