Administrator Gina McCarthy, 

Thank you for permitting me to add my voice expressing my full support for the recently proposed plan to place 

lfs on existing carbon polluting power plants. This is a bold and courageous stance that will be proven to be right and long 

overdue. As a pastor. civil and human rights activist, and a psychologist I'm constantly in the midst of people who are 

negatively disproportionately experiencing the impact of an overly polluted carbon environment. This "carbon cloud" has proven 

to be a major contributor to the health of our children and senior citizens who must indoor these horrible conditions on a daily 

basis. Polluted air and toxic water have virtually become twin destructive forces which are destroying the expected lifespan of 

all Americans. 

As a nation we have stood silently by and disregarded the obvious signs that our environment has and is changing drastically. 

Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, rising coastal waters, melting glaciers and witnessing this occurrences of disoriented 

wildlife and sea animals are but a few of the obviously observable indicators that the environment is under siege. 

Scientists have agreed that much of what we are experiencing is directly contributed to the continuous warming of the planet. 

Scientists too have concluded that carbon and other pollutants are major sources for climate change. 

It has become abundantly evident that special interest groups in their quest for greater profit have placed "profit over people". 

Our planet and its people are increasingly becoming more ill and dying at an unpredictable rate. People are finally becoming 

aware as to what is being done to the environment as well as their health. 

The environmental protection agency's position for limiting carbon pollutants is an excellent mandatory "actions step" to take if 

America is to live up to its creed of being sensitive, protective and caring for all of its citizens. 

I believe that everyone has civil and human rights to unpolluted alr and water. It is a moral responsibility and obligation for 

businesses. educators. scientists, faith leaders, and the general population to collaborate with the EPA to redirect the course of 

climate change. If the current trend is not attered and/or corrected we will ultimately destroy the planet which we once nurtured 

appreciated and enjoyed. 

It is an extremely sad day in America when we are forced to discuss and decide whether to "choose between the health of our 

economy and the health of our children" said President Obama. 

1 join with countless other Georgians and Americans who are resolute in our unflinching support of the Environmental 

Protection Agency's time sensitive stance to improve the health of a nation, its people and the planet by imposing carbon 

emissions nmitations on power plants. 

Thank you, Administrator McCarthy, on behalf of the American people and the citizens around the world. 

Respectfully.
