We think American citizens have a right to know what toxic chemicals are
being released into their communities. But the EPA recently proposed to
limit the information that companies are required to disclose about the
hazardous chemicals they release into our environment. By reducing the
reporting requirements of its Toxics Release Inventory program, the EPA
would take away an important tool for protecting public health and reducing
industrial pollution.
There is no justification for weakening this successful program, other than
to please corporate polluters, who view public disclosure as a costly
nuisance. That's why we must submit as many comments as possible by the
January 13th deadline strongly opposing this dangerous proposal! Take Action today!
