Dear Friend of the National Parks,

Increased temperatures, drought, and flooding are already threatening our national parks and park wildlife, from the coral reefs of Biscayne to the grizzlies of Yellowstone. And the U.S. Senate can soon take action to soften these impacts. Passage of the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act, now working its way through the Senate, will help ensure that our parks are protected for generations to come and that local communities that border and support our parks remain as vibrant and stable as the parks themselves.

The Senate will most likely vote this fall on this legislation. NPCA wants to make sure this bill not only cuts global warming pollution, but also safeguards our parks and communities from climate change impacts already taking place.

Through the sale of pollution permits to the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act will create funds that can be used to promote renewable energy and to lessen the impacts of climate change. Unless we act now to reduce global warming pollution and safeguard wildlife from rapidly advancing changes, many species of plants and animals could be driven from the parks--and even to the point of extinction.

TAKE ACTION NOW: Write your Senators to express your concern for the future of America's national parks. Ask them to vote "Yes" on the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act and to support the inclusion and full funding of a 5% allocation for natural resources to create jobs and safeguard our parks.

Supporters like you are making a difference in battling climate change, protecting wildlife, and creating jobs in local park communities.

Thank you for taking action today!

Sincerely,

 

Mark Wenzler
NPCA's Director of Clean Air and Climate Programs
