Tell Pennsylvania Officials: The Future of Our Planet Is Not For Sale The Pennsylvania state legislature is using the planet as a bargaining chip. While locked in debate over the state budget, a frightening development has surfaced: State officials are attempting to include legislation in the budget that would make it easier for the oil and gas industry to fast-track new facilities without proper review, allow polluters to cut corners, and outsource the future of our environment to private companies. That means more pollution, more greenhouse gases, and more global warming. It's no surprise, then, that the oil and gas industry gave nearly $1 million in campaign contributions last year to state lawmakers. Now, they're looking for the payoff. Our air, the health and well-being of Pennsylvania communities, and the future of our planet is never for sale. Sign below to tell your elected officials you won't stand to see them use our climate as a bargaining chip. Recipients Your State Senator or SenatorsYour State Representative or Representatives Message Please oppose budget giveaways to the oil & gas industry Dear Representative, * Personalize your message I'm writing in strong opposition to the budget deal that gives far too much leeway to Pennsylvania's oil and gas industry. Please oppose this dangerous legislation that will increase methane and other harmful pollution. This legislation trades away vital clean air and water protections for Pennsylvanians while coming nowhere near closing the budget gap. Instead, it fast-tracks oil and gas permits, cuts corners, and outsources the future of Pennsylvania's environment to private companies. The Commonwealth does not have to choose between a strong economy and a healthy environment, but this legislation puts both in jeopardy. Please make it clear that Pennsylvania's clean air and clean water are not for sale. Oppose this bad budget deal, and any other legislation that hands industry control of the oil & gas permitting process.
