EPA Report: U.S. saw Record Decline in Dangerous Greenhouse Gas Emissions in 2012 While U.S. Economy Improved


Washington, D.C. -- Today the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released their 2012 Greenhouse Gas emissions report, showing a 3.8 percent decrease in dangerous greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S.  This record decline in the harmful pollution fueling climate disruption took place as the American economy improved and continues to recover.


Michael Brune, Sierra Club Executive Director, issued the following statement in response:


“The EPA’s report today shows us that we’re on the right track to ensuring a healthy and safe future for our children and our nation.  Clean energy sources like wind and solar are here, and they’re here to stay.  The EPA’s new data demonstrates what millions of Americans already know.  We can, and we already are lowering dangerous pollution and improving the economy by reducing our dependence on dirty fossil fuels and going all in on clean energy.”
