WHERE I GOT THE EMAIL INFORMATION:

SAMPLE EMAIL:

Dear U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the recent announcement by Administrator Lee Zeldin regarding the proposed repeal of the endangerment finding. This critical determination, established in 2009, recognizes greenhouse gases as pollutants that pose a significant threat to public health and welfare. It serves as the legal foundation for many essential climate regulations that protect our environment and communities.

The endangerment finding is not merely a regulatory formality; it is a scientifically backed conclusion that has been upheld by courts and reaffirmed by subsequent administrations. The scientific consensus on climate change has only strengthened since its inception, with the latest reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change confirming the urgent need for action against greenhouse gas emissions.

Revoking this finding would not only undermine years of progress in environmental protection but could also lead to severe unintended consequences for public health and safety. The potential rollback of regulations on emissions from power plants, methane pollution, and vehicle emissions would exacerbate the climate crisis and harm vulnerable populations disproportionately affected by pollution.

I urge you to reconsider this proposal and maintain the endangerment finding. The health of our planet and future generations depends on strong, science-based climate policies.

Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.

Sincerely,

If you do not want the EPA to overturn the "endangerment finding" that is the basis of so many of our environmental laws, note that they are taking public comments on this ONLY until September 15th, 2025.

Typically, one would get an email confirmation immediately, but they may be (hopefully) bombarded with public comments against this stupidity, so I just received my confirmation today. So this info is legit, and they are receiving our messages.

Details on where to go and how to submit a comment, what to put in the subject line (this part is crucial and must be correct), and a sample message to send are in the OP.
