To: Gina McCarthy, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator
Protect our communities from chemical disasters!
Dear Administrator McCarthy,
Our communities deserve to be safe from dangerous chemical plants, which cause explosions and toxic chemical leaks near schools, homes, and businesses.
Please make a strong rule requiring chemical plants and refineries to use the safest cost-effective chemicals and technology available to prevent future chemical disasters in our communities.
Why is this important?
More than 100 million Americans live in vulnerability zones that surround dangerous chemical facilities, putting them at risk of explosions, fires and releases of toxic chemicals caused by these facilities.
We can make our communities safer by ensuring that these facilities switch to safer chemicals and technologies that are both available and affordable.
Tell Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy we need a strong rule to make chemical facilities safer!
