Trapping more than 80 times more heat than carbon dioxide over the first 20 years after it reaches our atmosphere, methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases that contribute to the climate crisis. When the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released rules to limit methane emissions from the oil and gas industry last year, we asked you and fellow climate advocates to demand that the regulations go further.
More than 11,000 comments from our supporters were sent. And it worked.
Earlier this month, the EPA proposed tighter emissions regulations by expanding the 2021 methane rule and are seeking public comments now. We need more than 10,000 climate advocates like you to voice your support to strengthen our impact and make sure these changes happen.

From 2023-2035, the new rules would prevent an estimated 36 million tons of methane from entering our atmosphere, along with other air pollutants that are disproportionately affecting the health of communities of color who are more likely to live near methane super emitters.
As one of the largest global emitters of methane, the United States has a responsibility to quickly reduce emissions to mitigate the worst of the effects of climate change and minimize harmful health impacts on frontline communities.
Fossil fuel interests are no doubt going to fight tooth and nail to try to bury these new regulations. We won’t let them win. The EPA needs to hear your support for cracking down on these methane super-polluters.
We can do this together.
