We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Earthjustice.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Across America, more than 100 cement plants spew a continuous stream of pollution into the air we breathe, releasing huge amounts of mercury and other toxic pollutants into the environment.

This past February, more than 11,000 Earthjustice supporters sent emails to the Environmental Protection Agency, calling for stronger protections against mercury pollution from cement kilns. This public outcry spurred EPA to reconsider its minimal approach to regulating some of the biggest sources of mercury pollution.

The agency recently published a revised rule limiting toxic pollution from cement kilns, but more can still be done. Now is the time to continue the pressure and send EPA a message: Mercury pollution from cement kilns has got to stop!

Personalized messages carry much more weight than form letters -- please take a moment to tell EPA why strong protections against mercury are important to you. Even changing the subject line can help your letter stand out!
