BREAKING: We’ve joined over 120 medical societies and health organizations urging EPA to protect the endangerment finding. Rolling it back would ignore today’s climate threats and put Americans at risk of worsening health harms. Read our letter here: bit.ly/EF-Letter

(1/4) Last month, 630+ people—including 44 Moms members— showed up to testify at the virtual public hearing for @EPA’s proposal to rescind the Endangerment Finding & greenhouse gas standards for vehicles. The Endangerment Finding is the legal & scientific basis for EPA’s ability to cut climate pollution from some of the most major sources, including the transportation industry. Climate pollution is heating the planet, supercharging dangerous extreme weather and disasters like hurricanes, floods, heat waves, droughts, and wildfires.

A new report from @LungAssociation shows that replacing just 33,500 industrial boilers with heat pumps could prevent 77,000 premature deaths, 33 million asthma attacks & create $1.1T in health benefits. Read more from @Grist bit.ly/471aLvh
Installing heat pumps in factories could save $1.5 trillion and 77,000 lives

Installing heat pumps in factories could save $1.5 trillion and 77,000 lives

Replacing conventional boilers with heat pumps could also avoid 33 million asthma attacks by 2050, thanks to improved air quality.
