Friends, Please submit a comment to EPA now and urging them to strictly limit mercury and other toxic pollution from coal-fired power plants. For over 60 years, the coal-fired power plant in Salem Harbor, MA has been taking a toll on the community's health by polluting the drinking water and poisoning the air. But the community fought back. And thanks to the hard work of local activists, it was announced this week that the Salem Harbor Generating Station is going to close. It's a huge victory. Not just for the people of Massachusetts, but for activists in Colorado, Illinois, Pennsylvania and everywhere else who are working to shut down dirty coal plants in their communities. Our campaign is just beginning. Greenpeace is going to continue to help these activists shut down the coal-fired power plants that are killing their communities. However, they can't win without strong health standards from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that limit pollution of toxins like mercury that come from coal-fired power plants. You have the power to make that happen by submitting a comment right now. Help us close down even more dirty coal-fired power plants by submitting a comment to EPA now and urging them to strictly limit mercury and other toxic pollution from these plants. The EPA's ability to protect American families from dangerous toxins like mercury is currently under attack by energy industry lobbyists and their friends in Congress. We have to speak up if we want to beat back these attacks and if we want more victories like the one this week in Salem Harbor. It's as simple as that. Right now, the coal industry doesn't have to worry about the kids who develop asthma or the women put at risk of having a child with birth defects. Those costs are just passed on to the community. The EPA can change all that and put the cost of coal back onto the polluters responsible by limiting the pollution of toxins like mercury from these plants. The comment period is only open for a short time. Submit a comment today.      It's time to quit coal, Kelly Mitchell Greenpeace Coal Campaigner
