Happy Earth Day! 🌎

When my pal, Senator Tom Carper asked me to contribute an Earth Day song to his Senate EPW Democrats playlist, I had to go with “Black Rock,” by our hometown heroes, O.A.R..

It’s a song about friendship, nature and Montgomery County.

Happy Earth Day, folks!

Today, I’m reminded of the work we must do to protect our planet for future generations.

I’m also reminded of the historic progress we’ve already made — building a cleaner, healthier planet for every American.

And we’re just getting started.

'Every day ought to be #EarthDay .' 🌎

We feel the same way, Senator Tom Carper! That's why this year, we're calling for more #ClimateSolutionsNow to clean up our air, tackle the climate crisis, and protect the health of our communities for many Earth Days to come! 🌎👏

“It’s simply not possible to meet the climate goals we’ve set without addressing emissions from the transportation sector.”

– Chairman Carper defending U.S. EPA’s new plan to reduce light- and medium-duty vehicle tailpipe emissions.

Republicans want you to think that you have to choose between clean air and growing our economy––but they're wrong.

The U.S. EPA rule that they are desperate to overturn would not only protect our planet, it will create jobs and strengthen the auto industry.

.U.S. EPA's clean cars rule is vital to tackling the climate crisis, saving people money, and protecting public health. But Republicans in Congress aren't interested. Let’s accelerate towards a clean energy future instead of passing this bill to stop clean cars and boost oil profits.

Great news! 🌊⛱️

Chairman Senator Tom Carper and Lindsey Graham’s bipartisan Strengthening Coastal Communities Act passed the Senate.
