Here’s an opportunity to make a difference! However, you might have to be patient, as the heavy load on the system from so many commenters is slowing it down.

Comment on the EPA Rules Revisions process
This is an interesting one. It’s up to over 3000 comments now and I have no doubt will continue to set a strong pace. Please feel free to reshare this on any social media platform you like.
Comments will be open until May 15.
Trump specifically instructed the EPA to begin dismantling the Clean Power Plan, a sweeping Obama-era law designed to get 47 states to slash greenhouse-gas emissions from their coal plants.
But revising or repealing a regulation that’s already on the books isn’t so simple. The EPA will have to go through the same arduous, months-long rulemaking process it used to create the regulations in the first place. And part of that process involves seeking comments from the public.
Now that process is underway.
The EPA has created a page on http://Regulations.gov where the public can comment. As of writing, it has already logged 1,268 comments, most of which appear to oppose repealing the air-quality regulations.
