This week, Linda brings an important update: the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) has recently submitted a 70-page comment in opposition to adopting new clean vehicle standards. Disappointingly, the IEPA’s comments, which draw from outdated federal officials and industry sources, fail to recognize the significant public health impacts of vehicle pollution. Linda will discuss what’s at stake, why science-based standards matter, and how you can take action.
Public comments are open until Friday, May 16th, and everyone is encouraged to submit a rebuttal urging the Board to prioritize science and public health. Whether you’re a first-time commenter or a seasoned advocate, your voice matters!
Don’t miss this opportunity to get informed and get involved.
