Dear SD Leaders: I'm writing to make sure that you've seen a letter that has been circulating protesting the ‘pro-asbestos’ rule change the EPA is considering. The letter is soliciting firm signatures/owners (as opposed to individuals). I encourage you to sign and/or get your firm to sign ASAP.
Please forward as well to any firm from the building trade….developers, businesses that lease or buy buildings, firms, engineers, designers- any firm that cares about non-toxic buildings! The hope is to get as many firms to sign as possible as soon as possible in the next 24 hours, and then in the next few weeks keep obtaining signatures to submit the letter to Mr. Wheeler, the Acting Administrator.
Here's the link:

This letter is not related to the great AIA letter that went out Thursday here: The media release and comments are available on AIA’s website and are also being tweeted.
Again, please forward to any firm you think may be interested in signing the letter. Apologies for any duplicate notices.
Regards
