Dear Mike,
When you think of a college campus you probably don't picture respiratory
problems, heart attacks, toxic air pollution and premature death.
*But nearly 50 colleges in the United States, including The University of
Iowa, still maintain dirty, coal-fired power plants that poison the air and
threaten public health.1*
The University of Iowa contributes to this by burning coal at its campus
plant, and that needs to stop. In order for that to happen, we need to show
President Dr. Sally Mason that the local community is opposed to the The
University of Iowa coal plant.

Air pollution from coal plants kills an estimated 24,000 Americans each
year. It also causes 38,000 heart attacks and more than half a million
asthma attacks annually. Most of these impacts are felt within the 30 mile
ring of pollution that surrounds coal plants like the one at The University
of Iowa.
Working with the Sierra Club, Greenpeace and Energy Action coalition and
other groups, we're building pressure on the remaining coal-burning academic
institutions to immediately make a public commitment to shut down their
campus coal plants.
Schools that have shut down their campus coal plants in recent years
include Cornell University, Ball State University and my Alma matter Miami
University. Students and community members won those victories by launching
petitions, meeting with university administrators and using other tactics to
build public pressure on the schools to do the right thing.
It is going to take similar efforts and a big show of public opposition to
get The University of Iowa to stop burning coal on campus.

Thanks for fighting for clean air.
