National Alliance for Hispanic Health Statement on EPA Proposed Regulation of Greenhouse Gases to Protect Public Health
Posted on: Friday, 17 April 2009, 14:59 CDT
"We congratulate President Obama and EPA Administrator Jackson on today's action finding that greenhouse gases pose a danger to the public's health and welfare. It's not only the right thing to do for the health of this and future generations, it's the smart economic move to spur on green jobs, a healthier nation, and an economy that values the planet we all call home. Protecting the public's health should not be dependent on whether or not a deal can be brokered on a cap and trade system."
"Today the EPA lived up to its charge to protect the nation's health. The entire Alliance membership and our Health and the Environment Action Network (HEAN) will be working over the next 60 day public comment period to ensure that the public's health is the primary concern in regulation of greenhouse gases. You can be a part of this movement by visiting the Alliance's Action Forum at www.hispanichealth.org."
