Every child has the right to breathe clean air and access safe transportation to and from school. Yet across the country, approximately 25 million children take diesel-powered school buses every day, which can have long-term negative health impacts. Diesel school bus emissions expose kids and communities to dirty pollutants that can cause respiratory problems including asthma attacks, which are the leading chronic illness and the number one cause for school absence for children and adolescents.

The recent rollback of federal clean car standards is an attack on our public health and economy. Submit a comment to the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission as they consider state-based clean car standards right here in Colorado. These standards will get more electric vehicles on the market that will clean up our air and save money at the gas pump. Take action today!

Right now, Coloradans have a chance to increase the use of clean energy like wind and solar in our state. The Colorado Public Utilities Commission is deciding whether to approve a plan that would shut down two coal fired power plants and replace them with 2,500 megawatts of renewable energy. Urge the PUC to approve the plan for clean energy and clean air.

Coloradans know our environment — our clear blue skies, clean water, and wild places — is vital to our way of life. But if we want to protect our way of life, especially as our population grows, we need to stand up for conservation values. Colorado’s Conservation Future lays out our vision for the future — but we need our next governor to share that vision. Take action to tell Jared Polis and Walker Stapleton that they need to protect Colorado’s future!
