Clean Air in Our National Parks

Did you know that air pollution is on the rise in our national parks? "Air pollution" and "national parks" shouldn't even be in the same sentence. We expect clean air when we visit national parks.

Restoring clean air to national parks is the duty of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)--a duty that has been cast aside for too long. NPCA is sending a delegation of members from across the country to Washington, DC on October 17 to tell EPA and Congress that Americans love their parks and want to see clear views and breathe healthy air now and for generations to come.

Take Action: Send your comments to EPA Administrator Jackson by October 14, adding your voice to our delegation, and urging EPA to enforce the Regional Haze Rule, the Clean Air Act program designed to improve air quality in national parks, wilderness areas, and wildlife refuges.

Thank you for speaking up for clean air in our national parks. Future generations will appreciate your action today!

Sincerely,



Stephanie Kodish
Clean Air Counsel
