Trump is signing away our clean air and water

Kathleen- New executive orders from Trump could kill our best hope for a stable planet. Help Greenpeace fight Trump’s executive orders that threaten the planet. Be one of our new 1,000 RESIST members by March 1! With a stroke of his pen, Donald Trump could sign the death warrant for the Clean Power Plan and the Clean Water Rule — threatening the safety of millions of Americans and our entire planet.1 Trump’s upcoming executive orders on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are rumored to overturn President Obama’s landmark limits on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants AND critical protections for our nation’s waterways. At a time when we need to transition away from fossil fuels, Trump would chain us to them. At the moment when people across the country are getting sick from their own drinking water, we need tighter restrictions on pollution, not less. Trump’s extreme measures call for extraordinary action. Greenpeace will do whatever it takes to fight Trump with the full force of our movement behind us. That’s why our supporter drive is critical. We need to add 1,000 new members to our ranks by March 1 — that’s only 7 days away — to have the power to take direct action to fight Trump’s executive orders that threaten our planet. Kathleen, please join Greenpeace to help us RESIST with your strongest support right now. Trump’s executive orders on the EPA would be horrifying, but they are just the latest in a string of recent attacks on our environment and climate future. Oil tycoon, Rex Tillerson, is now Secretary of State … Scott Pruitt, an enemy of the EPA who sued the agency 14 times, is now running it … Trump allowed mining companies to pollute waterways at will …2 Climate change was scrubbed from government websites …3 I could go on and on. Without a strong EPA and critical safeguards for air, water, and climate, we are set to return to the days of burning rivers, acid rain, smog, and oil spills.4 And there’s no telling the catastrophe our planet will face as a result of unchecked greenhouse gas emissions. We cannot go back and we cannot forget those times. We cannot gamble with our children’s health and future. In such a world as we now face, Greenpeace must fight back by organizing and mobilizing like never before. Our supporter goal has been increased to 1,000 members by March 1 so we can fight these direct threats to our people and the planet. Please join us with your support and take the fight to Trump, Pruitt, and the polluters. I look forward to your part in our growing movement. Sincerely, Leila Deen Projects Director, Greenpeace USA P.S. At any moment, Trump could take executive action to gut these critical protections for America’s clean air and water — but we are ready to RESIST. Will you join us? Please help us fight back with your gift today!
