Today more than one billion people throughout the world will do their part to protect the Earth.

While you may not be able to plant a tree or ride your bike to work today, you can do something simple yet significant RIGHT NOW that will make a huge difference to the environment – the equivalent of taking 33 million cars off the road!

Sign our petition supporting the President’s plan to cut air pollution by cleaning up gasoline. Nearly everyone is on board with this smart idea – including cities, public health agencies, consumer groups, even automakers. But the powerful oil industry is trying to kill it, and we need to show that Americans want a better environment.

This Earth Day show Big Oil they can’t always get their way. Add your name in support of cleaner air!

While many of us would like a world without polluting cars, we’re just not there yet. But we can make a huge dent in pollution by cleaning up the gas our vehicles run on. The air near our roadways has high concentrations of particulates, ozone, carbon monoxide, lead and sulfur – over 50 percent of which come from vehicles.

A new plan would slash this pollution by cleaning up the gas before it’s burned in our cars. It will add under a penny to a gallon of gas and less than $150 to the cost of a new car in 2025.

The auto industry can handle that cost, but Big Oil is digging in! They don’t want to clean up their refineries, and they want you to live with the consequences – dirtier air and more asthma, lung and respiratory diseases.

Sign our petition and join others who care about the environment. Show Big Oil and Congressional opponents they are in for a fight!

If you think it’s worth a penny a gallon for cleaner air, then take action this Earth Day. And please forward this to friends and family so they can join you in this important action.

Sincerely,
