Toxics Petitions to the White House in US
Activists deliver 60,000 petitions to the White House calling on President Obama to use the authority of the EPA under the Clean Air Act to require dangerous facilities to switch to safer alternatives—the best way to prevent a disaster. A coalition of labor, environmental justice advocates, environmentalists and experts on chemical safety joined Governor Christine Todd Whitman to call on the Obama Administration to use existing authority to prevent disasters at US chemical facilities. President Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency have unused authority to require the nation's most dangerous chemical facilities to convert to safer technologies and protect communities currently living with the danger of a poison gas catastrophe.
