Save Our Environment, a coalition of environmental groups is circulating the campaign below to increase fuel efficiency of large vehicles by the EPA. Please consider adding your support HERE before the January 31st deadline.
What do freight trucks, buses and large pickups have in common?
They get terrible gas mileage (think 6 mpg!) and they've never been subject to fuel efficiency or pollution standards.
But the EPA is trying to change that by setting the first-ever fuel efficiency and global warming pollution standards for big trucks.
We rely on these vehicles – from large pickups to freight trucks to buses and garbage trucks – every day for transportation and delivery of goods across the country. Some heavy-duty vehicles like 18-wheelers can cover as much as 150,000 miles each year.
It's time to cut oil consumption and global warming pollution from our biggest gas guzzlers.
The EPA's proposal for fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas standards for trucks will cut global warming pollution and decrease our dependence on oil while saving money.
With the EPA under attack by the new Republican majority in Congress, now is the time to show strong support for the EPA to do its job.
The deadline for public comments is January 31, so don't delay!
Thank you again for all that you do.
