Tell Your State Rep: Strengthen Texas Clean Air Standards

Overview

Houston has some of the worst air quality in the United States. The petrochemical corridor along the Houston Ship Channel produces ozone and particulate pollution that triggers asthma attacks and shortens lives in neighborhoods like Manchester, Pleasantville, and Galena Park. Texas sets its own clean air implementation plans under the federal Clean Air Act — and environmental advocates say Texas consistently chooses the weakest options allowed. This campaign asks Houston-area state representatives and senators to push for stronger Texas clean air standards in the next legislative session.
