Fossil fuel power plants are currently the largest concentrated source of carbon pollution. However, despite accounting for nearly 40% of our nation’s carbon pollution, existing power plants have *no *federal limits on the amount they emit. *The EPA's recently proposed Clean Power Plan aims to change that. <http://out02.thedatabank.com/?r=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%3d>* *Arguably the single most important action the EPA has taken to address climate change to date*, the proposed Clean Power Plan will require states to cut carbon pollution from their existing power plants and result in an overall national reduction of 30% by 2030 (from 2005 levels). Individual state goals vary depending on local factors. Powerful opponents of the proposal with an interest in maintaining our dependence on coal are determined to undermine it. Your voice is critical. *Submit your comments urging the EPA to finalize the strongest possible standards that reduce carbon pollution from power plants today. <http://out02.thedatabank.com/?r=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%3d>* Climate change poses a significant health threat to Iowa. In the recently released *Iowa Climate Statement 2014,* scientists from 38 Iowa colleges and universities recognized that climate change can contribute to a wide range of health factors including respiratory and cardiovascular problems, increased incidence of vectors (mosquitoes, ticks, etc.) and vector-borne diseases, increased mental health issues and exposure to toxic chemicals, and decreased water quality. The Clean Power Plan is the clear path to address the risks associated with climate change.* Public support is needed to take this bold step in confronting climate change - act today. <http://out02.thedatabank.com/?r=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%3d>* [image: Act Now] <http://out02.thedatabank.com/?r=MTAwMw0KSjE2Njk5Ni1DNDgxLU0xMzA5NzEtLWlhZWNhZG1pbg0KMzcxNTY0ODEzNDA4ODE4MDQwMzMwMTMwOTcxOTgNCjhjMDAwMDAwMjM2MjlhDQpodHRwOi8vaWFlbnZpcm9ubWVudC5vcmcvYWN0bm93LnBocD90ZGJ1cmw9aHR0cCUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dyUyRWNvbmdyZXNzd2ViJTJFY29tJTJGaWFlbnZpcm9ubWVudCUyRjEyJTNGYWNjZXB0YXV0aG9yJTI2bWVtYmVySUQlM0QyMDE4MCUyNnByZWZpeCUzRCUyNmZpcnN0TmFtZSUzRFBhdWwlMjZsYXN0TmFtZSUzRFJvaXNlbiUyNmFkZHJlc3MlM0QlMjZjaXR5JTNEJTI2c3RhdGUlM0RJQSUyNnppcCUzRCUyNmVtYWlsJTNEcm9pc2VucDE5NTAlNDBnbWFpbC5jb20lMjZwaG9uZSUzRCUyNnJlbWVtYmVybWUlM0QxDQpBbGVydDEyDQpyb2lzZW5wMTk1MEBnbWFpbC5jb20%3d> *STAY CONNECTED* Visit our website, iaenvironment.org <http://out02.thedatabank.com/?r=MTAwMw0KSjE2Njk5Ni1DNDgxLU0xMzA5NzEtLWlhZWNhZG1pbg0KMzcxNTY0ODEzNDA4ODE4MDQwMzMwMTMwOTcxOTgNCjhjMDAwMDAwMjM2MjlhDQpodHRwOi8vaWFlbnZpcm9ubWVudC5vcmcNCndlYnNpdGUNCnJvaXNlbnAxOTUwQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ%3d%3d> , or find us with social media.
