Urge EPA and President Obama to enforce Clean Air Act more strictly
In Plain English
The city wants federal officials to use existing Clean Air Act powers to cut atmospheric carbon to 350 parts per million. Current carbon levels exceed 400 parts per million and contribute to climate change. This formal request has no direct cost to the city but signals Richmond's position on environmental policy.
