Austin Sierra Club - Conservation Action

Join us at City Hall for a session on how to become more politically active and effective in these turbulent times!

The EPA has been holding virtual public hearings this past week for the Reconsideration of 2009 Endangerment Finding and Greenhouse Gas Vehicle Standards Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. What this means is that the Trump Administration is trying to prevent the EPA from doing anything to limit CO2 pollution, which would obviously be TERRIBLE as far as addressing climate change. This is a very, very damaging action trying to be forced on the American public by the virulently anti-environmental Trump Administration.

For more information on the rule itself, please visit:

The docket for the proposed rule, where you can submit written comments, can be found at:

The deadline for submitting written comments is September 22, 2025. The quote below is from our Legislative and Conservation Director's verbal comments at one of the virtual hearings this past week.
