Please Sign Our Petition in Support of EPA Methane Rules

Please join people of faith and conscience in New Mexico in signing a petition to thank the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for finalizing a strong rule to cut methane and other harmful pollutants from oil and gas operations. This action protects vulnerable communities in the Permian Basin and the Four Corners.

As people of faith and conscience in New Mexico, are writing to express our gratitude for your leadership in finalizing the rule to cut methane pollution and other harmful air pollutants from the oil and gas sector. This bold action is a critical step toward addressing climate change, protecting public health, and creating new jobs.

These common-sense protections address one of the single largest sources of climate-destabilizing pollution in the U.S. and the world. Methane is 80 times more powerful at warming the climate than carbon dioxide, and over one-third of the warming the world is experiencing today is due to methane emissions from human activities.
