Send a Message For Cleaner Air Today because Tomorrow Will be Too Late!

Gentle readers of this American Chronicle, one would think the health of children and the elderly would be the priority of any government! After all, it is only common sense! Children represent the future and the elderly represent the repository of experience and wisdom. Apparently however, within many industrialized countries, the priority today continues to be fast gas burning cars and as much industrially created profit as possible! Both create deadly and dangerous pollution, not to mention global warming. There may be a small light at the end of a long tunnel, however, as the habit of burning Gas may be changing with the long awaited arrival of the new Super Cars on the market. Ford is in the lead with an Electric Hybrid but Toyota is not far behind and even old General Motors has a pretty good looking all Electric vehicle.
The changes are slow and past experience indicates that all may not be as hoped. Whatever new regulations are created by the present U.S. civic minded government, those regulations may be reversed by vested corporate interests. Remember how the EV1 was recalled and crushed out of existence by G.W. Bush and his Oily allies? The moment the Republicans regained power that great working little Electric Car was pulled away from people who loved them and replaced on the market by boxy and large Four-Wheel drive gas guzzling vehicles. One particular vehicle looked like a Tank and was known as the Hummer. The Hummer was sold to the Army and then sent to Iraq, where soldiers paid with their lives for trusting their profit oriented government! The Hummer proved useless against land mines. It was a French vehicle that proved safer...>

Cleaner Air Today!
Smog doesn't just ruin your view; it poses serious health risks, especially to children and senior citizens.
Send a message to the EPA and join the fight for cleaner air and better health.
There are more than 1,000 studies showing us that the current smog standards fail to protect the health of millions of Americans, and now President Obama's EPA is taking action by proposing new rules to lower the amount of harmful ozone -- the main component of smog -- in our air.
But Big Oil and Dirty Coal are fighting to protect the dirty, unhealthy status quo, putting their profits before our health.
You can give the EPA the support it needs to stand up to Big Oil and Coal by sending a public comment to the Federal Register.
For too long the science and the impacts on American communities have been ignored. From cars to coal, ozone pollution contributes to a decrease in lung capacity, increased risk of asthma attacks, shortness of breath and chest pain, and even premature death.
The EPA needs to hear from people like you: parents who face the rising costs of health care for sick family members, physicians who see the correlation between air quality and the increase in lung disease, patients who feel the fear caused by increased lung-related illnesses.
Make your voice heard before the comment period closes in March.
Thanks for all that you do to protect the environment.
