Tell EPA Administrator Whitman to Control Mercury Emissions!

Write a Free fax to EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman and urge her to stand strong against industry challenges to regulate mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. Mercury is a toxin that can cause serious problems in children. Depending on the dose, effects can include subtle losses of sensory or cognitive ability, delays in developmental milestones like walking and talking, birth defects, tremors and even death. Industry representatives are lobbying hard to block EPA from moving forward on creating strong regulations that would protect the public. According to one industry official, after meeting with EPA and other administration officials "how the new administration intends to proceed on mercury is still something of an open issue."
