Tell Congress to put people before big polluters | Southern Environmental Law Center

Tell Congress to put people before big polluters.

A safe and sustainable future for new generations depends on the decisions Congress is making right now, and the margins are razor thin.

We're asking the government to choose protecting people and our public lands over selling off our natural resources for financial gain.

Allowing industries with big pocketbooks to pay to pollute pushes America further from climate milestones we must meet to secure a sustainable future.

And a dramatic increase in coal mining and oil and gas drilling on public lands is not the answer, especially at a time when nearly 200,000 acres of forestland are still suffering damage from Hurricane Helene.

Congress is also looking to harvest a lot more timber in the very Southern Appalachian national forests created to address overlogging. This isn’t a partisan issue, it’s a practical one.

Tell Congress to put the American people before big industries and secure a safe environment for future generations.

The bill currently winding its way through Congress is a bad deal for people, the environment, and our economy.

Massive budget cuts on the table position our iconic public lands as a target for destruction from logging, oil and gas drilling, and coal mining – in places that currently provide more than 10,000 jobs and billions of dollars in revenue each year.

Allowing industries to skirt environmental review by paying to pollute smashes the gas on climate change and causes more severe weather and natural disaster we are not prepared for.

This legislation also robs communities of clean energy projects that would save American households money at the same time as weakening laws that protect our clean air and water for future generations.

This is a practical issue, not a partisan one. I'm asking Congress to decide on a bill that protects people and the environment instead of harming them.

Thanks,
