Protect Children's Health, Protect NEPA!
Children do not choose where they live, where they go to school, or whether the air they breathe is clean and healthy.
Thankfully, since 1970, the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) has been in place which requires federal agencies to assess the environmental impacts of their proposed actions before making a decision. Prior to NEPA, little thought was given to detrimental environmental impacts — such as soil erosion, air pollution, diminished water quality, habitat loss and negative health impacts on nearby communities — during project planning.
It's not an overstatement to say that NEPA is the bedrock of all our environmental laws.
However, NEPA is currently under attack to radically undermine its scope — the proposed NEPA "update" seeks to exclude both indirect and cumulative environmental effects.
These "updates" would have far-reaching and devastating impacts on human health, especially vulnerable populations, like our children.
