A bad air day can make a lot of other days much worse for people and wildlife. The EPA is seeking input to balance its proposals to reduce air pollution from the oil and gas industry with responsible energy development. Even if you can’t attend a hearing, you can still speak up for wildlife impacted by energy development.
