WHAT YOU CAN DO
National Parks Conservation Association
Contact your congressional delegation and let them know your concerns
about pollution in our national parks. Ask them to support legislation
to remove the grandfather clause from the Clean Air Act.
Whenever possible, take public transportation, telecommute,
and carpool. Shop for reduced-emissions versions of household items
including paint, cleaning supplies, and personal care products. Turn
the lights off when you leave a room÷conserving electricity at
home helps reduce power plant emissions. |
