NYCOSH: Help Stop Cuts to Toxic Pollution Reporting Via NY Transfer News Collective * All the News that Doesn't Fit sent by NYCOSH - May 17, 2006 - --PLEASE CIRCULATE-- Just One Day Left to Help Stop Cuts to Toxic Pollution Reporting The play "Defying Hitler" at the 59E59 Theater until May 21 Hi, I recently saw the play "Defying Hitler". I felt it was an important examination of the question what happened to Germany between WWI and WWII and what lessons... Tomorrow members of House of Representatives will vote on an amendment to an appropriations bill, and your access to information about pollution in your area hangs in the balance. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced plans last fall to roll back reporting requirements for facilities that release toxic chemicals. Since then, organizations and individuals have spoken out resoundingly against the EPA's proposals, yet these dangerous plans continue to move forward. But there's still time to save the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) program. Congress can stop the EPA in its tracks, but lawmakers need to hear from you and now's the time! ACT NOW The Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program keeps communities, first responders, and medical researchers informed about toxic pollution. Regardless of where you work or live, this loss of information affects you--it's about knowing what's in the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the ground below your feet. Contact your representative today and tell him or her to support the Pallone-Solis Toxic Right-To-Know Amendment that will save this invaluable program for public health and safety. The amendment to the Interior Appropriations Bill (that decides funding levels for the EPA) would prohibit the EPA from spending any money to implement these dangerous changes. Tell your representative to vote YES to the Pallone-Solis Toxic Right-To-Know Amendment. Write your representatives using our web tool Or Call your representative's office directly "I am very concerned about EPA's plans to cut toxic chemical reporting. EPA's proposals are dangerous, unnecessary, and widely criticized by experts. More than 100,000 people have already told EPA to drop the proposal, but they aren't listening. I urge you to vote YES on the Pallone-Solis Toxic Right-To-Know Amendment to the Interior Appropriations Bill to send EPA a message." Hurry--Congress votes tomorrow! For more information, visit OMB Watch's TRI Resource Center 202-234-8494 with questions. Thank you for taking one more step--it can make the difference.
